PECETTO Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 14 minutes ago, Sir Kevin Sinfield said: I expect they will have chased Maloney but he must be happily semi retired playing in the French Elite 1. I’m sure Toulouse will bring a player in from the NRL but few players are available and even when a deal is done visas etc then need to go through (or 2 if Kheirallah leaves and frees up another quota spot) Marcon, springer, hansen, belmas, peyroux ashall, shaumkel, are soon back in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubby Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Maybe Toulouse were waiting until Ford and Kheirallah's salaries were off the books before signing anyone. Glad they are looking at young players with something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"By mutual agreement, Toulouse Olympique XIII and Johnathon Ford have decided to terminate the player's engagement with immediate effect" He did say he was leaving to retire. Were a bit used to it, as Zeb Taia and Glenn Stewart did the same at Catalans. I'm retiring, going back to Australia... Never mind here's me signing for another club without you having money back.

He wanted to stay but Catalans did not want to retain him so he opted for the Gold Coast. All agreed before the season finished. Don’t know about Glen Stuart. He didn’t do much at Cats anyway and ended up at Leigh I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the terms of their departure. Any contract settlement payments will count on the cap.

And as someone who watched him at Leigh I can confirm he did even less, a waste of space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had his best season by far last year. He was extremely fit and switched on, having Casty and Garbutt around him made him raise his game even more. He also brought more to the team than "just" a player. I doubt many SL supporters would have seen much Championship rugby, but when you watch a guy week in week out you get to know what they are about. Is he (was he) a SL player ? In my mind yes, absolutely. However, it's a moot point as we will never know now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
