I really liked him, until he started messing around with that (now outlawed) technical play the ball penalty-mess when we played at Catalans this year. Shenton getting involved is another story - but Gigot went down in my estimations after that game.

Fullbacks like Gigot don’t come on the market often, I’d have him tomorrow.

Wherever he ends up, I think a move away from France would do him a world of good. His skillset is being wasted.

I have no idea if he can speak English or not, but if he doesn’t it’s the only downside I could possibly see to signing him.
He’s one of the top full-backs in the competition. Our weakest position is at full-back. As long as he’s not asking for silly money, it’s a no-brainer in my opinion.
I might be wrong, but something makes me think we are rolling into next year with Mata’utia as our number 1 full-back in the hope he improves playing alongside Gale.

Couldn't see Gigot fitting in with Powells style of play as he is a very off the cuff instinctive type of player.

I’m sure Powell could develop a structured side to his game, as he did with Dorn and Hardaker. And indeed Rangi Chase was playing some of his best rugby in the latter half of 2013 when Powell put some structure into his game.
An element of unpredictability is an asset in rugby league. At the moment, we don’t have anyone who can provide a moment of skill to break a game or change the momentum. Or at least nobody who can do it often enough.

He’s had a good few man of the match interviews and spoken English quite well. He’d be a cracking signing.

A signing like Gigot would be exactly what we need to get fans back on side and excited again for 2020. Imagine a back line of;

Gigot
Feki
Blair
Shenton
Eden

This will be it in 2020. Won't be no Gigot.

That's assuming we play Stenton over Pete in centre and Rankin plays FB not Pete.

I think Stenton is a bit long in the tooth now, good as he was in the 60s!

Looks like he's signed for St George Dragons.
