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.
