Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Strong rumour that they will sign Gigot, go over the salary cap and then challenge the cap as illegal. Hope the RFL are ready to stand their ground......

Given it’s a “live cap”, they shouldn’t be able to go over their limit.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑18 Feb 2020, 22:23 Strong rumour that they will sign Gigot, go over the salary cap and then challenge the cap as illegal. Hope the RFL are ready to stand their ground......

Never wanted a club to get relegated as much.

Well, it looks like they are going to do it and challenge afterwards.Fumper27 wrote: ↑18 Feb 2020, 23:01Given it’s a “live cap”, they shouldn’t be able to go over their limit.nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑18 Feb 2020, 22:23 Strong rumour that they will sign Gigot, go over the salary cap and then challenge the cap as illegal.

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
The RFL can refuse to register him as a Toronto player, which if played would mean he's played illegally, which could have more ramifications for them including a) points deductions and b) removing their membership.
They signed up as a member of the RFL and to abide by laws. My thought is that they may pay their dual reg team to sign him and then dual reg him.

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
It’s an interesting one. Does being in breach of operational rules mean the RFL can take pre-emptive action by refusing to register the player? That’s not something that they have done previously, even though other clubs have breached the cap (admittedly unbeknown to the RFL beforehand or at the time).HuddsTigers wrote: ↑18 Feb 2020, 23:23 The RFL can refuse to register him as a Toronto player, which if played would mean he's played illegally, which could have more ramifications for them including a) points deductions and b) removing their membership.

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
The argument was that Toronto got into Super League on merit by winning promotion.
As opposed to parachuted into Super League.
On attaining promotion, they l presume were appraised of the rules of the competition and agreed to them and made then super duper headline grabbing signing of SBW.
If they now receive a dispensation it makes yet another mockery of our fine sport.
If the are relegated will it damage the sport irreparably?
If they survive by giving exemptions will it be the catalyst the game needs to prosper?
The answer is no on both counts.
The problem starts at the top.
Weak, unimaginative and pompous leadership.
How such a great sport can be administered by such buffoons is one of lifes mysteries.
I know why don't we have a franchise framework to decide who should be relegated based on nothing to do with success on the pitch.
Oh wait a minute!

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
league weekly were reporting that they owe money to the group responsible for televising their last years home games and are being taken to court. wonder if thats why they didn't get a deal this year?

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Think the super league clubs and most of the chairmen have had enough of TW all ready
They should pounce on them straight away if they openly and knowingly break the salary cap to try and not get relegated ala Wigan
I presume there hoping with the knew tv deal coming up it may go back to no relegation and they may have to pay a big fine but will stay in SL

As it's a live cap they can advise clubs that they are going to breach it and refuse to register players until appropriate space is cleared.
It's why a lot of clubs have to have a domino effect of a player going before a new one comes in.

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Signed Tony Gigot on a one month trial.
Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Maybe Gigot is doing a Radlinski and playing for free?
Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Maybe they can only squeeze one month's salary into their Salary Cap spare change?

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Policing the salary cap has always been a moot point.
That's what happens when the baboons or buffoons run the zoo.
Football though massively flawed does not shy as Ranger's, Manchester City and those with greater knowledge than l will reel off many more examples.
The cap has been ignored, exploited, misinterpreted and so on.
Wolf Pack may be of the opinion if we stay within the rules we face relegation so why not chance our arms over to you Red Hall

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Gosh we made a good start here only 3 weeks in ..
A team either openly braking the cap or about to
A player who wouldn't get a game in any other sport brought in
Top ref suspended on what must be serious matters as he's just hired a top lawyer to represent him

Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
Could they get round it by their dual reg club signing him and use him that way?
COYF!
Re: Totonto and the Salary Cap
I personally think in this 4 week trial they will offload o'brian to free up space to sign gigot on a permanent basis
COYF!
