So Toulouse are signing a French player while Leigh sign yet another Australian, how will their fans turn this round into a criticism of Toulouse?

Retention. Get a grip fella.

Tony Gigot signs new 2 year deal.

Max Peuch has signed on a 2 year deal, he has decided to commit to full time rugby which is good news for TO.  I hope he can step up to be SL ready in the pre-season

I thought he was already full time?

No, he was doing other stuff as well. This means he has to drop the other stuff if he wants to make a go of it.  TO are happy that he has set his mind and effort on SL otherwise if they had any doubts he wouldn't have been kept on.

Yes, that’s good news. He’s a nice kid and well disciplined on the park. It was a tough decision for him as he now has a young family to think of.

I see a contemporary of his Bastien Canet is still up to his old tricks. Playing for ASC he still is as clueless about discipline as he was when at TO.

Gadwin Springer now on board

How is Gavin Marguerite playing these days, would he be worth a place in the squad ?

[Grand Est]

Springer is confirmed by TO XIII. Not quite sure what to make of that one.

It was only last year that he was one of the very few worth feeding in the Toronto pack while they were in SL, that experience is pretty important as most of the Toulouse pack have effectively been playing on a flat track for years in the Championship.

TO junior with a decent amount of SL experience and plenty of years left in him, makes plenty of sense to sign him IMO. They look to be playing it smart and building plenty of capable depth.

Yep. Good point. Can't disagree with you at all there.

Fingers crossed he works out well.

Feels like an eternity ago now given everything that has transpired but yes, Toronto were in SL for a portion of the 2020 SL season.

It does feel like an eternity. Was a big step up.

It wasn't really. Springer played his best rugby under Daryl Powell at Cas...........he's a useful squad player

[The Daddy]

What I'm keen to know is why it didn't work out at Halifax, for some reason he wasn't given game time and was then farmed out on loan to Featherstone where he done well before getting injured. 

Did he not get on with the Fax coach?

I didn't actually realise he'd made 58 appearances for Cas. I don't think he has really kicked on from the promise that many had when he first came onto the scene but he's certainly a useful addition for Toulouse and brings SL experience. Plus he's a Toulouse junior too.

Don’t worry pal, I’m sure the mighty Leyth will be back in super league soon enough for another shambolic 9 month stay
