Toulouse shouldn't have to pay anyway, neither should Catalans. They have to travel far more than the UK clubs.

I can tell you one thing it’s going to be a very hot one and subs are going to be crucial.

Had a walk round this morning and it’s roasting and very little wind.

Going to be boiling in that stadium.

But the clubs shouldn't be footing the bill either it's not their faults. If both clubs could be allowed to do a decent tv deal this would pay for this. As for not allowing the money to be able to put towards a better flight experience is just petty. I'm with Matt on this it's bang out of order.

Yeah I agree that if it’s been decided Toulouse pay for transport that’s what should happen. If Trinity want to better prepare over and above that then they should pay the difference.

I’d certainly be speaking to the RFL about the validity of a claim.

Also, would SL clubs accept this if Toulouse got into SL?

The pack is now strengthened. My main concern is the halves.

I think we have been managing with Gale and Kay. This is a wide fast pitch in the heat though so it will need a big shift from both of them and less running more smarts.

I have no doubt the coaches have a game plan for the heat.

It will be Gale and Lino/Kay for rest of the season so we run with what we have in that regard. For me both are good enough to see us to the grand final at Championship level if the forwards keep up the top work.

Gale is 36 and Kay 32, one not a half and with no idea on how long lino is going to be out for, we should be looking at a half imo. I really dont want us to be playing gale week in week out, him picking up knocks could harm us come the business end of the season.

I'd imagine Lawford would be rotating with Gale, to keep him fresh but with Lawford injured thats mnot happening.

In fairness to Kaye, he is not an half but being asked to fill in. His defence is good, but with ball in hand not so good.. Last week at BradforId remember at least 4 passes to no one and two could have lead to opposition trys

As a junior and academy he was a 1/2, moved to wing and full back which is where he's played most of the time since, but has shown he's an effective 1/2 stand off, hooker and loose foward. Better him there than Max moving from Fullback

If the agreement is that Toulouse pay for a "basic" package then, anything else is our choice and therefore, we would be liable for the cost.
