I suspect we’ll do better than last game against them but difficult to predict score as gaps in their squad filled by Catalans players - which feels a bit snide. Is there a limit to how many loanees you can play in a game?

No radio coverage and wasn't really willing to shell out best end if 20 quid to watch on Viaplay, especially after last Sunday's experience.

Frustrating we can't seem to attract anyone to cover our games and we have to rely on whichever northern BBC station is covering to get some commentary. Would be nice if we could have our own in house radio coverage. Surely wouldn't cost that much in the grand scheme?

Yup. This one is well under the radar. I’ve prioritised drinking over the match. Hopefully the half time score won’t put me off my ale.

Catalans players in the TOxiii side are duel reg not loan players, there is a difference.
Tbf london better team so far in the first half

I’ve thought about it and, no, calling them dual reg as opposed to loans doesn’t make me feel any better. On the plus side we’re winning. Nice.

It's not a matter of how it makes us feel. Personally I don't like duel reg thing, half of fev team were leeds players for a lot of last season

Well they tried their hardest to lose that one. What on earth was Alex thinking with chucking the boot away.
Basset good today, whare has some skill. Railwalu excellent

Maurice Chevalier, Edith Piaf, Le Petomane can you hear me? Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Jaques Chirac, Voltaire. Your boys took one hell of a beating.
Sent off for throwing away an opponents shoe,my backside.

He wasn't sent off he was sin binned it's not the first time a player has been sin binned for that and certainly will not be the last, was bloody stupid of him tbh.
They won though, and generally seemed pretty organised which shows how they can play.

I like Leyland senior’s attitude in post match interview, if we can manifest that on the pitch we could be in for a decent second half of the season.
