T'Other Side: Toulouse Olympique

 

FIRST TEAM SQUAD

LAST TIME OUT

2021 MATCHES

Head Coach: Sylvain Houles

Sylvain Houles began his tenure as head coach of Toulouse Olympique for the 2013 season. 

Most of his playing career was as a centre or winger although towards the end he moved to half back or loose forward. He started with XIII Catalans (the former name of Catalans Dragons) and then in 2000 entered Super League with the Huddersfield and Sheffield Giants and later London Broncos. Houles also played for Dewsbury Rams and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats before returning to France with Toulouse. He played 14 times for France.

 

Captain: Johnathon Ford 

Johnathon Ford joined Toulouse in 2011 from Sydney Roosters. He is a master tactician and has a brilliant kicking game. He has been a regular Cook Islands international and has captained them.

He was born in Toronto but before you start wondering why he didn’t join the Wolfpack his birthplace was Toronto in New South Wales!

 

Star Man: Rémi Casty

 

There are so may possibilities we could have chosen for ‘Star Man’ in the Toulouse side. We have chosen Rémi Casty who joined Toulouse this year after a stellar career with Catalans Dragons.

A powerful prop forward with an intelligent rugby league brain, Casty made his début for Catalans in their inaugural 2006 season and played for them 336 times which is the record career appearances for the Dragons.

In 2014 he left Catalans for one season and played in the NRL for Sydney Roosters.

He has played 26 times for the French international side the first time being as far back as 2004.

  

Loan signings

Toulouse do not currently have any players on loan.

Earlier on this year Catalans Dragons youngsters, Jordan Flovie and Hugo Salabio had short loan spells at Toulouse

 

 

The Fev connection

There are only 3 players who have played for both Toulouse and Fev. One is currently at Fev, one at Toulouse and then there is a player who is at present playing for Whitehaven who has previously played for both Fev and Toulouse.

 

Past Matches against Toulouse

    

LAST TIME (2021)

Not even the most ardent Fev fan could imagine us repeating the result against Toulouse that occurred on July 3rd, 2011 but we would all settle for the same result as the Play-Off game in 2019!

This week's referee: Toulouse v Fev

   

We haven't lost a match with this referee since 2015. Sounds good? But he has only taken charge of 3 Fev games since then! More good news - he did the Fev match in Toulouse in the 2019 play-offs.
