It's total nonsense, he's claiming 11 imports when Toulouse have 6 overseas (Australia/NZ) players and two English in their squad, the vast majority of their squad are homegrown players aged 23 or under. Rochdale on the other hand are a dual-reg club with Warrington and regularly field full time players. Toulouse have also been noted for their sportsmanship in just about every match they've played. The author has literally just made up a load of rubbish to the point where I'm half convinced that that article is satire.

Uuugh, so total cack, so why even print such crud when the facts as you've put them are so different, total douche if so.

Is it going to be televised anywhere or will it be the usual highlights job?

The french game you mean ? Bless....

This ted, insular, pathetic attitude is why RL is still confined to small areas.

Get rid of these miserable, small time pillocks from the sport. I'm sick of these idiots holding the game back at every level of the sport.

It is Tolouse's fault they are in League One, people have short memories. They made such a mess of it last time that they were forced to withdraw from the Championship. The Championship and League One clubs said you can come back in but you have to earn it. Simple. I know a lot of you struggle to remember there even is rugby league outside of SL, but try and remember every now and then.

Nice rant, but who above said they shouldn't have been put into League 1?

I hope Rochdale's coach Kilshaw gets to use his own legs as goal posts when Toulouse go for a conversion, Mark Kherliah misses and Kilshaw gets hit in the crackers. Oops, sorry, did i say that. My apologies .... cough, cough.

I must be more moderate and sportsmanlike. With any other team in League 1, the coach's and teams have been exceptional. Rochdale players are being led by a fiend that wants to stop any international expansion of the game with his regular rants. Rochdale must be issued more yellow cards than any other club in League 1, or very close to it, and that's more the style and direction coming from the coach.

But the bottom line is that Rochdale will be stronger and more determined than they were in their recent loss. We'll have to see how Toulouse handle whatever tactics Kilshaw puts in place. I wouldn't put it past him to throw a banana skin under the linesman's feet [ oops did i say that].

Rochdale will get smashed by Toulouse, and the same again next year with Toronto.

Toulouse will win by about 30 points in the final and Rochdale will be beaten by Barrow to claim the second promotion spot. Justice will have been done. Next season the Canadians plus one Cumbrian side will win promotion so where will that leave the Hornets ?

[sizeAnd in 2020, Tokyo will smash Toulouse, and then they will return to the French League (again)[/size

I predict :

- Kilshaw will complain about the standard of refereeing and linesman will cost his side points
- Will choose to throw the ball around rather than slowing the game down
- Will rant about the foreign invasion, play victim and put Brexit on every shirt as a show of solidarity
- Will be quietly drunk as a skunk after victory in Toulouse
- Will dance naked on the photos of the Toulouse team for a week
- Rochdale will play like they never played before and spring a surprise

Score: Toulouse 12 Rochdale 44

..... something's not right here. Oops sorry

In the sin bin. Justice will be done to the coach.

Ooooh, that's nasty !!
