Just been reading that Toronto have signed Gigot, on a months trial, on amateur terms.

My understanding of this, is that during this time, he wont be getting paid. Also, amateur players can only play in reserve fixtures.

Do Toronto even have a reserve set up?

No, they don’t.

Won’t be getting paid

a bit like Greg Radinski then

Wonder if any other team could do that.

I can think of one that couldn’t.

Wondered where he gone to after leaving Catalans ,cracking player on his day and would be a welcome addition to any squad I’d think .

Or his brother Kris?

Or the Wigan player who had an "L" is his surname?

Agree, I'm sure there would be no chance

Just a small coincidence that Brian noble was Wigan coach when radlinski played for free due to no cap space

Cheers Jinjer for the correction, god knows where Greg came from

As far as im aware as amateur he is not allowed to play first team rugby only reserves

But thereafter, Wolfpack would have to find cap space to sign him to accommodate him. Seems a bit of a grey area but bottom line is he can play

What are you all surprised at ? When Catalan came in they could have all the players they wanted because the RFL, wanted them in just as they do Toronto !!!
Just being sarci, but There is enough coming out of McdDermot verbally to get his own way, if all the other clubs want to stop this then emulate them & do the same, making it all ridicules will be the best way to stop it !
While ever nothing is said or done it will continue !

Hope they fail more than I did before.

You might have been thinking of pies, and no, I don’t mean Wigan.

Eat pies score tries

Should’ve blooded some Canadians whilst they were in the championship - the reason for their existence.

Here here, Wilzay

Remember when Wakefield were the first team to break the cap and still only managed to avoid relegation by 1 point lmao. How utterly embarrassing

To be fair, it's not quite as embarrassing as setting up numerous accounts just to troll a rugby league forum. That's a whole new level.

I wish RLFANS would get rid of the big yellow box when you ignore someone and just don’t even show their name up.

Whatever happened to all of those "failed" American Footballers or was that just a publicity stunt
