Yes you can have normal year on year increases but not say a 20%/80% split Ooh, they've thought of everything the sods... So basically ignore what I said. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A lamb in wolf's clothing 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Yakstorm 1,824 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 It will simply be good to have him back in the game. Whilst he has his issues, on his day he is an exciting player to watch and an important member of the French squad. 2 PACIFIQUE TREIZE: Join the team by registering as a fan today at pacifique13.com Link to post Share on other sites

Manfred Mann 1,409 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 If Gigot joins Toronto, then the club will have more French players than any Super League club other than Catalans. Toronto already has Gadwin Springer and Hakim Miloudi. Gigot will be a useful addition to the team because he is a better full back than the current Toronto incumbent, and a better centre than Chase Stanley, and a better stand off than either of the Toronto incumbents.

If TWP pays the salary, directly or not, it would not be in the spirit of the cap. Whats the rule with long term injury leave? as we have Cunningham out for 6 months. Does his salary still count in the cap? Can he be replaced by a player being paid equal or less than him? Gigot seems to like part time contract, he could sign for 6 months, just saying.

manu266 474 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Thanks, it's strict, stricter than other sports, it's neither a preseason nor a full season injury, so not sure they can ask for a dispensation here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Kevin Sinfield 2,568 Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Gigot would be a good signing for Toronto Wolfpack. I guess they might release Cunningham, who is out injured for 6 months to free up cap space. Alternatively it could be Chase Stanley, who suspiciously is still waiting for his visa, despite having a visa to play last season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And now he's applying for a Samoan (I think) passport to get off the overseas quota (but still on the non fed trained quota) as they are full on that one. I'd say it was more shambles than suspicious. Link to post Share on other sites
