A Paddock Jolly Boy's Beano to Bradford would be fun Gutters, but I may be up there for the whole weekend, as Donny races is on.

Well remember our last coach trip to Odslum, the highlight being the Top House' pork pie mountain and the choice of two different pils lagers (woo hoo!) Paradise can truly be found at Odsal Top..

(actually was a grim day when we well thumped and Hecks did his shoulder)

I like the look of Gigot though. Definitely a potential first teamer.

Best give hm his chance soon or he'll be back to France.

He's on trial to the end of the season. So why rush it?

Les Francais are waiting to pounce if you don't make him a good offer. Only saying like, would be glad to se you lose out on him.

Strange how Catalans only became interested after he agreed to come to London. Even stranger is the fact Catalans have also developed an interest in another player the club is monitoring at a French club, after discovering Quins interest.

No, Catalan's were involved in sending him over to Quins so they'd have a better idea of whether he was physically up to it. There's only a slim chance of Gigot staying, his girlfriend is French and his English is terrible. It's a pity because he's well thought of at the club, but expect him to go back to France after this season.

Utter rubbish. As one of the people involved in the arrangements between Quins & his French club for this scheme on junior players, I know the full extent of the involvement of the Dragons. Dragons would have sent him to UTC & monitored him there. He will be going back to France at the end of the season, this was always the arrangement & his club expect him back to play for them in LER (but would be happy to lose him to us if he was signed to play in SL). As you know so much about this arrangement, I'm sure you can name the other people involved, 1 at Quins & 1 at his French side ? Your in depth knowledge will also be able to tell us why the second French player from 2008 hasn't come back for 2009 (& you can name him) ?

Not a notion mate, never said I knew anything about the other arrangement or the people involved in it, and I'm not getting into a game of "I know this person better than you do", I will say it's likely that I'm more familiar with Gigot and his situation than you are, and can all but guarantee you Quin's won't take him next year for reason's I'm confident you don't know, and of course Frenchie won't stay anyway.

(1) How does that square with 'dornies-lips wrote: No, Catalan's were involved in sending him over to Quins' then ?
(2) That is a self contradictory statement.
I know how the Catalans developed an interest in Tony, can you name the person on the Catalans board who made them aware of Quins interest ?
You have answered neither of two very simple to answer questions for one who's 'more familiar with Gigot and his situation' , perhaps you can answer this one, which club is he contracted to ?
