Salford are strapped for cash - it's all gone into their magnificent new stadium. Think they hitched to Catalans!

just got back from toulouse and yes leigh wernt good but to be fair toulouse are a very good side, size, strength, speed all over the pitch and i dont think any team will go there and win the rest of the season the only thing that will stop them getting in the top 3 is how well they travel to away games widnes wer very lucky to play them wen they did, they will be in SL next time the franchises are up

I have been home 30 mins and I,m not reading all through the thread cos I,m tired.



Toulouse surprised me because they were bigger faster and passed properly.



In contrast we didn,t pass well, tackle well and dropped too many passes.



I thought too many players had bad games at the same time and injuries to Donlan and Higson didn,t help.



Word is our stand off problem might be rectified sooner rather than later and maybe we can turn this around.



We have played 2 at home and 4 away and this season was bound to be one of good days and bad. I would like a more expansive game but you can,t play that if passes are going to players ankles or around the shoulders. Maybe that area of our game could be looked at.



Will we win Thursday ? Well the players I talked to after the game know the team played badly on the day. Lets hope for an improvement.



PS couldn,t fault the ref.

Quel surpreese as we say in the posh part of Salford.



Food in Toulouse is very good and people very friendly but the price of the beer is extortionate.

Top chap who took the banter in good heart







Tha still supped enough of it though Frank





Very disappointing performance and I thought criticism of our half-back partnership was a little unjust as our forwards simply didn't lay the platform for them. Toulouse were bigger, faster, stronger and, quite frankly, played some bloody good rugby at times, with a couple of the tries being applauded by the Leigh fans as well. Very impressive side and Wynne at scrum half is an absolute monster.

Well must admit I had a few too many on Saturday after the game but that was cos I suffer very badly from depression. I have no idea why but I find going missing when its my round always makes me feel better.



The beer was good I thought and was also impressed with the red wine which I have to drink for medical reasons.

Hey, you must have what I've got! If you search the internet hard enough, you can also find that white wine and rose, are good for some complaints. To be honest though, I find that sheer volume is best to help forget our games!

One thing I'd like to know from those there, how warm was it, as the Leigh lads were flagging after about 25 minutes.

Not too much warmer than when we arrived back at Liverpool this afternoon, in truth. Late teens, early twenties in centigrade, at a guess.

Make no mistake............................this is just the ticket













It cures just about everything

Those were the days - when we had an Empire, eh?!

Ask the Aussies who were in a Toulouse pub last night whether or not we still have an empire (of sorts)
