Not that it matters one bit, but that’s not a yellow card.

48-0 down and now we are a player short due to poor tackling technique. Real rugby intelligence on display here.

Lawton has it against him being so tall but it’s also laziness to make so many high tackles and not get down to make a proper tackle

Woeful refereeing, Lawton high shot yes, french chap launches a punch up Lawton off frenchie still on

 

Not really a punch up, but maybe he was sinbinned due to the fact that it was Lawton's 4th ( i think ) high tackle of the game.

Got to say I like Toulouse as a club and hope they go up.....

BUT, I come back to the point would a competent PT side be murdered like this?

I think not.

How long will we be into our wonderful coaches post match video, before he mutters his favourite quote, “we got what we deserved” I’ll go 10 seconds into it! The club is a joke, from top to bottom!

Never seen ball retention and tackling so poor. Even George Riley and Theo Fage are bored, talking about the eating habits of Mitch Garbutt rather than the game.

Our record defeat was also against a French side 76-6 against Catalans in 2012, could that be under threat?

No excuses we are very poor. I had it at 60 - 0 before they kicked off.  However I am amazed why people are so surprised at the score. We have been vulnerable in every game we have played so far. We are a part time team with our 2 senior props permanently on the treatment table. One of our play makers out due to disciplinary. We are playing against a big aggressive  full time side, that may not lose a game all season, that is full of ex super league & NRL players.  We have also not been  given anything by the match officials. Example they knock the ball on Lawton touches down & assistant 70 yards away over rules the referee  & is allowed to do so.

I'm not surprised but we are utterly awful in terms of skill, attitude and application.

If Finnigan goes then the CEO has to go with him IMO, he has had presumably some input into the composition of this squad?

Don’t start me off with our CEO

I doubt the CEO picks the squad that is what a coach is for. Not sure what the beef is here.

This isn't Finnigan's team - maybe the desire from the squad just isn't there.

Hold on to avoid relegation  and reform next year.

I can take getting beat Geoff, but to put in zero effort (especially when you know your opponents are that good) is simply inexcusable.

To be honest I thought we would lose fairly heavily. But this is a worse performance than I was expecting. Again.

Hold on to avoid relegation...no offence but that is the most damning statement of those in charge and the players.
