Tony Gigot to Toronto on a 1 month trial deal.

Will that be a free trial?

Signed as an 'amateur' apparently so getting paid nothing. You can only play amateurs in the reserves though so don't know how that works with him being named in the 21 man squad and I assume expected to play this weekend. RL journos are waiting for the RFL to clarify.

The lance Todd winning Frenchman will make a great addition to the Toronto ranks

I'd read there was interest in him from Toronto if they have room for him within the rulings of the cap then no problems, if their breaking it then fine and points deduction will be in order

Simples

Maybe his wife or partner is working in the club shop

According to the rfl, amateur players can only play in the reserves league ?

RFL have now stated he’s not actually an amateur just a trialist who won’t be getting paid so can play.

No doubt he would, on present showing so would most other players, their problem which maybe you can't grasp is, if they are up to the full cap how can they play him.

The salary cap is now live so Toronto haven’t broken the cap. Unlike Wakefield who managed to break the cap and get a points deduction all whilst having an awful squad

And still only managed to avoid relegation by one point lmao

And why wouldnt he play for nothing

if this gets allowed then the rfl armored spineless and stupid then even we think they are

Turning into a free for all. The brave new SL dawn didn't last long, did it?

It's there (and has been for a while) in black and white in the rules. Nobody's being spineless, breaking rules or doing something other clubs haven't done before! The faux outrage when anything like this happens is hilarious!

It’s because the xenophobes can’t handle it whenever the word “toronto” is mentioned. Don’t expect a response, they are all celebrating low skilled worker being banned from the uk

No xenophobia here, just answer 1 question .
Do you think gigot is playing for nothing?
If you do then why would you think he would?

I'd say exactly the same if it was an english club pulling the same lie.

So Canadian Scouser, why has a player as good as Tony Gigot signed for 4 weeks as a trialist, to see if he is any good after not playing competitively for 5 months ?

You `re a special type of weapon!

He can't play anyway, so what does it matter if he's being paid or not. Players signed on amateur trial terms can only play reserve games, not Super League games. I'm not sure what Toronto are up to with this, they have no cap space and can't play him as a trialist. What benefit does it bring to anyone?

Interesting comment but you tried to use a big word and failed.

Xenophobes are people who dislike PEOPLE from other countries so I can’t see how you could accuse anyone of been xenophobes about Toronto as theres no Canadians in their team !!

I guess in your mind I’m xenophobic about Jon Wilkin from Hull, Brian Noble from Bradford or the constantly whinging McDermott from Wakefield who are true Torontonians all

Well I think someone better hurry up and tell the TWP, the RFL, warrington wolves and the match officials at their game as he's in the squad and set to play for nothing apparently because he's got nothing on that weekend and just happens to be in the area

I'm surprised you haven't used the opportunity to include Wigan as well, so many similarities they also had an awful squad, just like Wakey and Toronto, the difference is they are trying to bend the rules at the start of the season how embarrassing is that, a bit like you really with three(3) failed accounts behind you, give it up lad/lass before you embarrass yourself even more, if that's at all possible.

Stop derailing every thread on here - get it back on track and talk about player moves and cut the rest of the nonsense, or this one is gone!

Bizarre that my comment has been deleted (querying how a troll continue to post bile) but the original inappropriate trolling comment hasn't.


To add my contribution to the thread, don't hate the player hate the game.

Congrats!
