[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 654809, member: 70871"] yeah I think Flood is a great signing. And he will have his work cut out to establish himself as our 10. It's up to him to raise to the challenge and survive his first Top14 season but i think he will. It's great that he's not going to the WC he will be 100% available to the club and that's what Toulouse has been short of in the last 2 seasons. Jean Marc Doussain has showed with Mc Alister's injury that he is a very capable 10 in Top 14 and H Cup. He is the only one I know who can successfuly cover both positions at that level for Toulouse. There's no other player like him in Top 14. He has put in some tremendous performance this season for us and was voted best player this season by the fans. I don't know how many games he has won with the boot for us and put in some thunderous tackles. For me when fit he is the best player in his position in Top 14. I dont care about Parra and Kocott, none of them can play 10 like he can and Jean Marc can match Kocott for brute physicality as he is a bull of scrum-half not quite in Kelleher's league but not far off. He is wasted on the national team and if they want pick and destroy Parra and Machenaud, let them. If he doesn't make the WC that's fine with many including Noves. Jean Marc will be able to concentrate fully on his position and give his all for the club. He is a terrific player and great guy. He doesn't need to have his confidence destroyed in the toxic environmment of the national team to come back to us with his morale down to his socks and have Noves pick him up again and again. Anyway he doesn't sing the national anthem that well anyway. I heard hime. Bit out of tune like the rest of the team with a conductor who thinks he is Berlioz but is more like a deaf-dumb rapper. I digress. It will be interesting to see what kind of partnership he develops with Flood and I can't wait for the first games with these 2 on the field. I think Mc Alister is the one who could lose out here. [/QUOTE]
