Manfred Mann 762 Report post Posted February 19 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 Report post Posted February 19 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Kevin Sinfield 1,229 Report post Posted February 19 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would have to pay him off which counts on the cap. Same for Worthington. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that he would count on the cap. I am no expert so I am only repeating what I have been told. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively it could be Chase Stanley, who suspiciously is still waiting for his visa, despite having a visa to play last season. He switched the type of visa he was applying for - ancestry visa. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
