I would read "... seraient en contacts avancés avec les London Broncos" as something like "... are in advanced contacts with London Broncos". That was posted a couple of days ago, since when Gigot has been confirmed. Hope the year in Oz has done something for his defensive capabilities.

Well he's certainly a good experienced prop who would do a good job for us on the face of it if he really wants to come.
As you say though he has retired though seemingly nothing to do with injuries. If he's a Samoan does that mean we don't have a visa problem?

Not the reason he left. Odd how you could chat to him in English and that a basic command of the language was one of the conditions of him being able to spend time with Quins. As you're not Phil Jones, Tony Gigot, Jeff Jouffret or the other person who set up his time with Quins then you can only speculate.

This is my poor french translation:
"Half French international Avignon (eg Catalans Dragons club for which he played 25 games in 2010 and 2011, and Cronulla Sharks in 2013), Tony Gigot, 23, and Samoan international prop Cronulla, Mark Taufua , 32, 88 NRL games under the colors of Newcastle and Sharks between 2007 and 2013, will be developed with the London Broncos, who are still looking to expand their squad for the whole hour inexperienced contacts."
Hope the Taufua news is true

Demi in this case means either scrum half or stand off (demi de melee or demi d'ouvre). Otherwise a fair stab at translating.

As he's French he's more likely to settle better in London for various reasons than up north. Im hoping we can get the best out of him and with Longy to teach him there is no one better ![]()
Don't believe everything you read on these boards. There were 4 people (3 named above as they were/are employed in RL, the other acted as a go between but is not employed by any RL club so remains anonymous) involved in setting up his time at Quins and a basic knowledge of English was one of the conditions (after the experience with a previous French player). The reason he was let go is similar to what the then coach at the club said when offered Julien Rinaldi as a player.
