Crusaders should have had 50 put past them? Really?
And while Sammut's try had a bit of luck about it the little man's skill outweighed any fortune he may gave had.

That's the opinion of our reporter, so it's good enough for me.

Always good to have different opinions. One of the key factors in a successful open forum.

his first few games were rubbish !

but he's settled in well under a competant coach and has some great support around him so well done to all involved in his improvement - long may it last...

regarding Tony Gigot - on saturday he wasn't listed as being injured for TO13 and wasn't on any team sheet - rumour has it that he was dropped by Dumas for having such a bad game against Barrow - I believe he has personal 'issues' with Dumas just like all the other TO13 lads.Biennes was sacked a few weeks ago for breach of discipline as I understand it and Josh Lewis has returned to Australia having had his contract terminated by mutual consent it seems.

Dumas is winding a lot of people up at present and many players,maybe up to half the squad will be leaving at the end of the season even if Dumas isn't at the club - there's deffo big problems in the camp....

Dureau was very lucky that he played under Trent Robinson in the lower grades and that Trent got a head coach job, because Brian Smith nearly killed his career.
Under Brian Smith Dureau was required to play set moves worked out by the coaching staff, and the second he did something spontaneous he was back on the bench or in reserve grade. As a consequence his brilliant, instinctive play dissappeared and he was playing crap.
Robinson knew what he could do and has let him do it.
It's a symbiotic relationship. The only success Robbo has had as a coach was with the Knights reserve grade and now with Catalans, and each time all he has done is let Dureau play his natural game.

There's a lot to be said for that. Noble at Crusaders last season, for example. Put your trust in players and they tend to respond. Unlike the rigidity of the systems at Toulouse and woe betide anyone who strays from the party line.

Just how bad can Tolouse get? Are they permanently exempt from relegation?

This is the last year of their exemption.

Will they be viable (should they go down) in Championship 1?
When I was in Tolouse a couple of weeks ago I was amazed by the number of locals who either didn't know much about them or didn't know they even existed. What effect would it have on the club if they returned to the French league?
