Don't see why. Our pack is far superior to theirs and so are our backs. R u putting your reasoning down to the travelling time or the food Charlie ?

You will but I don't understand your reasoning about Toulouse as the teams they have played up to now are hardly outstanding.

Does anyone have any kind of idea what sort of crowds they get? Might be a factor, particularly after longer travel than you're used to. Wet, warm and humid over there all weekend too, fwiw. Not exactly cracking the flags but a lot warmer than it is here right now. edit: Even their site doesn't list their crowds. What the hell is wrong with reporting crowd sizes this year? Nobody is doing it.

Thanks for that. That's pretty damn good if it's persisted into this year. Sounds like it could lift a bit with locals on the strength of your visit too.

edit: And for anyone who is visiting, three words: magret du canard. Seriously, check it out! But go easy. It killed Jack London.

Only Wrath Brow Hornets have not been thrashed by them so far, but they have yet to play any of the Top 8 clubs in Championship 1.

If Leigh stick to their structure, we should win.

I remember when we played Limoux and we only just scraped that, and the last trip we had to Toulouse, they gave us a pasting !!!

If we get turned over, it would not surprise me one bit but as already stated, Leigh have the best pack outside of SL by some distance and we should have too much for them.

Toulouse 24, Leigh 44

Our last trip to Toulouse was actually a convincing win for Leigh, however your points are valid none the less. I expect a very tough encounter this time around.
