There are big question are over levels of expereince, but I suspect neither Gigot or Skee will look out of place skill wise.

Skee is very good at taking the ball to the line and delaying the pass til the very last moment to put players through gaps, he also has quite a creative short kicking game. He is not particularly fast, but is fairly active in looking to push up in support.

Gigot has a huge boot on him (probably can whack the ball further than anyone at the club), he also has a very unpredictable side-step and is quite a handy goal kicker (which may be important with Purdham/Orr out). He is a little exposed at times in defence though.

Maybe we could get a 40/20 from him if nothing else. We will need to keep the French pinned well back in their half so this could be our most important weapon.

Nah, he's Matt Gidley's brother-in-law (and he is Aussie).

Although I guess he could be Roby's half brother too.
