Toulouse to play million pound game

[RL The greatest game]

Final is played in Toulouse. Same ground as the semi final.

Featherstone weren’t too happy about it when it got announced a few weeks ago.

Featherstone knew the rules at the beginning of the season so can't complain.
I'm hoping for a Toulouse win as they will bring more to the Super League comp with new fans and news sponsors, while Featherstone offer very little.

Great spectacle seeing a packed crowd for the game, great result for the fans and the city.

I’m a little confused with the packed crowd bit in the article I read. The crowd shows as 9000, but when I looked up the ground it is listed at 19,500 capacity.
Something isn’t quite right.

It looked like the stands behind each goal post was mostly closed off, so perhaps the idea was to pack the stands on each sideline.

Certainly looked that way in the coverage, but definitely not capacity. The Toulouse Union side play on that ground and they fill the stadium up usually.

A crowd of 9,235 at the Stade Ernest Wallon saw centre Mathieu Jussaume score two tries as Toulouse completed a perfect season and finally earned their Super League after some 18 years of trying.

Former Catalans captain Remi Casty won’t play against his old club next season despite leading Toulouse to Super League with a Grand Final win.

Great crowd, shows the potential that is there. Now for them to build a squad that can survive the difficult year 1!

You make a good point. Not sure what their week to week SL crowds will be but there is potential there to be one of the better averaging teams in SL. Hopefully they stay up
