audois Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Alan, I remember being at Lezignan when Gigot returned first time with Avignon after his trips away to Dragons,TO et al. I thought to myself that day no way would he get back to Catalans but that proved me wrong.

Lowdesert Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I haven’t seen Gigot acting up in the flesh so really don’t know whether TO would want him. I would say that they need some more quality of his standard. Whether he delivers to the standard he is capable of is another matter! Two other observations. Tomkins ‘underhand’ action last season - does that fit Catalans ethics? Secondly, barring one stupid indiscretion at Doncaster, Miloudi didn’t say boo to a goose while he was at Hull, or at Toronto, yet comes back to France and reverts to his former antics with his new club Palau. Mentality of these guys makes me shake my head sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I’m glad Tony Gigot is still playing Rugby League. The Lance Todd Winner is a real talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcl Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 His behavior is undoubtedly a factor, but there are also those around him. His agent didn't advise him well. To make him believe that he would sign in NRL or in a professional rugby union club with a higher salary than he had at the Catalan Dragons is totally crazy. Let's not forget that the Catalan club saved his career when he was suspended. www.fcl13.fr FCL XIII - Lezignan Corbieres Rugby League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps its time to change agents. Or was he eased out of the Dragons against his will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderWire Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 A talented player when things are going well. Though not the type of character I'd want alongside me in the trenches when the hard work needs doing. I hope he finds his 'forever home' soon.

He left the club in 2011, went to Toulouse, then Avignon, St.George then Cronulla (didn’t get a start), London Broncos, Avignon again before eventually returned the Catalans 2015. (I think that’s the right year). He made an indiscretion with the drug testers in 2017 and was banned for 2 years. Guasch challenged it and the ban was quashed (around 3/4 months later). Strangely, the anti drug authority challenged this and the ban was then reinstated. The Club continued to support him through this ban, he returned to the club, they won the Challenge Cup and Gigot won the Lance Todd trophy. 1st Frenchman to win it I think. IMO, it was his apparent short memory in the support given him by Guasch that became an issue when he began asking for more money, so the initial offer Catalans made him was taken away. Pretty stupid really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
