winnyason Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 It seems the talented french player is off to rugby union with trial at Treviso. Surprised by move given heard huddersfield and toronto where interested. Certainly could change a game and same for france who don't seem to produce many players of his ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigot could suit Union well. Good kicking game, an OK tackler for his size and very good hands. Reasonable under the high ball. Pace is average. Is creative and that's the key skill that means imo he may go well in Union. He can create tries. A inside centre or a full back I would think for Gigot in Union. Yaha with all due respect is a finisher and a good one at that but limited compared to Gigots all round game. Its a shame though as thought he was off to the NRL.

Damien Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I really can't see Gigot as a Union player at all. His skillset just isn't suited to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manfred Mann Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 There have been rumours that St. George-Illawarra had been interested in Tony Gigot. I suspect that they did not offer him enough money to join the NRL club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean de Bordeaux Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 A shame for french league , Catalan Dragons and himself ! I hope be back for february, after poaching some money in Treviso (his dream was Sydney, it will be Treviso ....). Seedy ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugger Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I doubt Treviso are paying him much, Italian rugby isn't exactly awash with cash especially when compared to Top14 or Premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool Rover Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I have read that he has been linked with Toulon. I thought he was going to the NRL but playing in the top 14 means he can double his salary without leaving France. I think that he would be a full back with his kicking game but I suspect that he will be back in Super League by the end of next season or 2021.

barnyia Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Maybe Treviso to learn the game this winter out of the spotlight then a big move next year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite an easy statement to make but this instance has to be balanced up with the loyalty Catalans showed him by sticking by him during his drug test shenanigans. Gigot could’ve still been banned from playing any rugby, if Guasch hadn’t backed him with legal assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t be for Catalans. Guasch has made that clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
