| York 30- Toulouse 28.
Five tries each. One conversion the difference. Pity.
Toulouse away from home with a poor coach. Implications are obvious.

No chance of Super League for Toulouse just yet there would be far to much to do.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

One off results are no indication of the gap between clubs in different competitions

They'd have to sign near enough a full squad of SL standard players, have they got the money for that? A few more years in the lower leagues to build then when they've built a decent team challenging at the top of the championship then reconsider submitting an application for a franchise, for me it would be another Celtic Crusaiders spending money they didn't have to compete then going bust.

But Widnes had players who were SL level so only had to add a few to compete. Toulouse would have to buy an entire squad. How viable would that be for a club like them at the moment?

If they had SL level players, how come they kept finishing 5 th in the Championship?

Didn't say anything about full of SL talent I said they had players with SL experience. And as you've said they've still got players there who played in the championship.

Only had to add a few? Please. They have, what, 6/7 players left over from that squad that are in the main squad? Widnes had to buy an entire squad.

So surely we should accept that Toulouse will have some players already that they could use in SL, along with a few new ones, if of course they get the chance

Actually there's 10 players in the Widnes squad who played in the championship 10 players is a big part of a 30 man squad, so they've signed 19 players and loaned 1 in 2 years, Toulouse would have to go out and buy a full 30 man squad as currentely there not even good enough to play championship rugby.
