| Quote: JonnoTheGreat "The Wire players, and fans, need to go into this game without the 'we only have turn up' attitude they had at Wembley last season as Catalan are quite capable of giving them another bloody nose, particulary at home.'"
You have been proved to be correct. |

So would I if I had Jon Wells sat next to me wittering on for 80 minutes, and no doubt right through half time, too. Please Sky, limit him to the HT role so I can miss him by changing channels to check the weather forecast and extreme ironing championship results. |

On that 80 minutes showing, correct. |

A player in an offside position impedes a defender sliding across. It was given as obstruction on Friday night but not Saturday. Wire got away with that one.'"
What I see in that clip is Gigot, a notorious play actor and the Catalans No 6 impeding a Warrington attacker. Im not sure how you've come to the conclusion that the Warrington players are offside. |

Impeding a Warrington attacker? 
He’s in front of the ball, he’s offside, he has a duty to not get in the way of defenders. He does. And more importantly a defender who could slide across and cover the gap.
It’s obstruction. It was given on Friday and previous times this season but not yesterday. |

The referee gave a try, the video referee, after numerous views, confirmed it was a try and still you think it was obstruction. Clearly theyve made a mistake. So, maybe the RL should introduce a "phone a friend" - assuming you're available next weekend. |

Or ask the audience"us on the VT". |

A strange post.
Yes that’s exactly what I and pretty much everyone else has been saying... 
It’s a wrong decision that Warrington benefitted from. Unless you think the refs get every decision correct?
Or is this just fog knitting to take away from the rather unique view that Warrington were hard done to by the ref in that game. |

Looks like we were wrong after all as Dec Patton wasn't guilty of a red or yellow card offence - according to the Disciplinary panel. |

I thought Catalan won, what's all the bleating about?

Catalan did win over Warrington in Perpignan, as did Toulouse win over Bradford at Bradford. It was a weekend of French success. That is why there is so much bleating from the cheap seats. |

It was a great weekend for the expansion clubs.
Next weekend will be much tougher for London to win at St Helens, but Catalans at home against Salford and Toulouse at home against Toronto are reasonable prospects for French victories.

He'll need an extra box of mansize tissues this weekend when Tremendous Toulouse host Titanic Toronto in a dress rehearsal for the Grand Final come October.
Still, he'll be posting less of this drivel in a week or so's time as his beloved Sharkies travel up the coast to Newcastle on the 15th and he'll no doubt be there.....isn't that right Bazza

HOW MANY TIMES?????
£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.
