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?

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

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.
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).
Yes, they have.

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.

Maybe they can only squeeze one month's salary into their Salary Cap spare change?

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

Could they get round it by their dual reg club signing him and use him that way?

I personally think in this 4 week trial they will offload o'brian to free up space to sign gigot on a permanent basis

Gareth walker on twitter.

Asked the question of the RFL on Tony Gigot's move to Toronto and their salary cap situation. He has been registered as an amateur while he trials at the club (Super League can sign two on that basis this season) so will not be paid to play

Deary me.

Jeez and I was just being sarcastic.😒
So to get my head round this, Gigot refuses a new contract at Catalans, moves to Canada to ply his trade, and does so for free? 😂😂

Somebody followed that up with amateur players can only play reserve games no idea if that's true

So, the rules seem to be that he can play four games for Toronto as a trialist.
After that, they have to sign him to a professional contract if they want to keep him.
The trouble (for them) is that they can’t currently fit him into their salary cap, so need to clear some space. Firstly, that’s not going to solve the main issue they have of having a small squad, as some will need to leave before they can sign Gigot permanently. Secondly, they are going to find it difficult to move players on as other clubs won’t be willing to offer the kind of salary Toronto have given them.
Losing Gareth O’Brien isn’t likely to do enough to create the required room on the cap for Gigot.
I wouldn’t mind him playing for Toronto for four games to get some match fitness back and then moving to us. If he’s willing to play for free, surely he’s willing to move somewhere and play for money?

Does Noble's departure free up any cash?
