Tony Gigot : Sat Aug 22, 2015 6:05 pm  

Hat trick against Wigan, watching him score another one tonight against Cas. And yet we could seemingly get nothing out of him - any ideas ? Was it just homesickness?

Re: Tony Gigot : Sat Aug 22, 2015 6:30 pm  

IIRC he played well in our opening game was it against Salford at the Hive..The next week the Aussies turned up and he was left out. He then was dual registered with Skolars and he played for them v Oxford away which was a game I was at and he appeared totally disinterested.. He went back to France soon after.
I wasn't impressed with his performance for Skolars but to be fair he is doing fine now. Good luck to him.

To be fair he must be regretting signing up to play
For Catalan at the Stade Gilbert Brutus when Trafinders was in the offing further down the line.

Yeah a wet Sunday afternoon in Ealing cannot compare with a summer in the South of France!

I recall a neat 40/20 in that Salford game.

No wonder he got the hump if his reward was to be farmed out to Skolars.

He`s kicking game that day was spot on as I remember.Pretty sure he was left out the following week.

He was also here a few years ago as a 17/18 year old

Tony's performance for Skolars at Oxford is one of the worst, if not the worst, individual performances I have ever seen. Disinterested is putting it mildly. Whether it was homesickness or issues within the Broncos upsetting him it was very clear his time in London was drawing to a conclusion. Good to see him turning it around now. I suspect we'll never know quite why his second spell here ended so badly.

Being demoted off the back of a good performance probably explains his swift departure I'd say.

Especially when you consider some of the wasters who were guaranteed a first team spot.

Indeed....but I think he was confused as to which code we played back then because we were Harlequins Rugby Lessons!
