Could it be a 2 season deal with his salary back loaded to the 2nd season? 

The salary cap doesn't let you do that

Doesnt it? I'm sure I remember seeing clubs do that before. 

I think I remember this happening at Wigan when Fielden went there which was possibly under different rules.

The last time I read the salary cap rules - sometime last year - it basically stopped you backloading a contract. Yes you can have normal year on year increases but not say a 20%/80% split

Gigot could give the Wolfpack a leg up.

A lamb in wolf's clothing

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.

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.

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.

Could he sign for Rochdale and go one DR/loan?

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.

Then how can union players being brought in on exemption not count on the cap in two years time?

Different rules for ex RU signings

This is the best article I could find with a quick google.

 “Clubs have been able to seek dispensation for full season injuries occurred in pre-season since the beginning of the 2016 campaign.“

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.

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.
