Catalans to buck bullfighting ban

Down with this sort of thing!
The parliament in Spanish Catalunya this week outlawed bullfighting. Fortunately, they don't have jurisdiction over either French Catalonia or West Yorkshire, for the former travel to the latter to indulge in a spot of matadoring. Bradford is the destination with the Bulls on a run of nine straight defeats and the Dragons, despite being hopelessly inconsistent, with a couple of major scalps under their belt in recent weeks.

Tough run-in for TO starts in Barrow

Just some of the unavailable players
by Mark Hall

The injury crisis continues unabated with Rory Bromley missing out with a knee injury and Cédric Gay, who was taken to Keighley hospital for observations after the defeat at Cougar Park last week. Matt Griffi returns though, as does Yoan Tisseyre after injuries, but with the long trip up to Barrow, and Jamie Rooney on the opposing team, Toulouse face a mighty task to get anything from this week's game. Here we preview the action.
Sherwin picks Wire pockets

The kid's alright
It was the Catalans big weekend in Perpignan with a big Warrington following making the trip for this preview to the Challenge Cup Semi-Final in two weeks time. The French side were welcoming the 100,000th English supporter to Perpignan and with it had planned a big weekend of celebrations. Warrington were looking to spoil the party and clock up a win that would keep them on the heels of Wigan at the top of the table. For the Dragons, it was a case of re-kindling some pride after a poor performance against Crusaders last weekend.

2010/11 fixtures released
We've still a couple of months to go, but the fixtures for the 2010/11 LER season have been released. Lézignan go hunting a fourth straight title and defend the Lord Derby Cup, but they'll be doing it with a much-changed squad. There's plenty of movement elsewhere among the league clubs too, with a mass exodus from Limoux, a couple of name changes and the introduction of a tenth side to the top flight.
Here, we bring you a round-up of the news and a look at the new fixtures
Lack of composure costs Toulouse

Spilt blood for the cause
Toulouse came up short by one point in a rough, tough game at Keighley for whom Danny Jones potted the decisive drop-goal. Toulouse weren't great and would perhaps have been fortunate to get anything out of the game, but they could have secured a draw had Sébastien Planas been awake at a late play-the-ball with everyone set for a shot at goal.

Back to league action for TO

Soon to be in the pink of Lézignan
by Mark Hall

After a weekend off for the National Rail Final, it's back to league action at 6 o'clock on Saturday night at Cougar Park. Looking doomed, Keighley take on a decimated Toulouse team who desperately need the points here to hang on the coat tails of the top six. With Halifax, Leigh, Widnes and Barrow to come, this is a must win game for the French. Here we preview the action
Dragons fail Welsh test

Struggling for positives
A league double over the Catalans Dragons safely in the bag for the Crusaders who put in a performance worthy of the name here at a blustery Gilbert Brutus. Brian Noble's men can now focus on future challenges ahead in Neath as they look to continue their improvement on and off the field. For the Dragons, it was a disappointing performance as they looked to gain back to back wins for the first time this season.

Dragons extend winning streak to one

Beautiful banana kick
You know how the script goes at Knowsley Road: Dragons score early before shipping 50-odd and getting a late consolation or two. Early on in this clash, it didn't even look like we were going to get the early score, but a curiously disjointed St Helens never kicked on and the Dragons, occasionally looking somewhere near their best, took full advantage.

Fightback falls short after Coley dismissal

Two late tries in vain
With temperatures hitting the early thirties this was always going to be a war of attrition, and so it proved. Catalans were hoping to score their first point of the season against the table toppers after a 58-0 reverse at the DW earlier in the year. They did, but it was all a bit too late.

Mitchell treble helps TO to win

Unlikely battering ram
On a bright and breezy Saturday evening, Toulouse brought home the bacon from the trip to Dewsbury. Martin Mitchell was the architect, but he left the field with a painful looking knock to the ankle and, in his absence, Dewsbury threatened a comeback that looked unlikely until Nathan Wynn stepped up to the mark to seal the win.

Play-off push continues

Returns to the fray
by Mark Hall

After Widnes' midweek defeat of Whitehaven, Toulouse slip back into that seventh position, just outside the play offs. Dewsbury had a morale boosting win against Halifax last time out, which should see them entering this game on a high. Make no doubt about it, with the season in the second half, and some tough games against top sides coming up this is a must win game for Olympique.
