    Now Toronto are going to make an offer for the big man . Altho he is a bit passed his best he would still be great in S/L .

    Past his best, he is only 28. If Toronto sign him and SBW that is full use of the marquee rule and a serious statement of intent. However I will believe all the hype when I see both of them run out at TWS.

    Wouldn't Tuilagi qualify for a separate exemption (to the marquee exemption) because he's a yawnion player?

    You know, like when Wire signed that world class centre Luther Burrell?

    Yes, I think he would. If I remember correctly, he wouldn't count at all in his first year and would count half of his salary (or presumably half of £175k if he's a marquee player, which no doubt he would be) in his second.

    It would be good to see Tuilagi sign for Toronto given he only extended his contract with Leicester earlier this year. A case of Denny Solomona in reverse while possibly Toronto wouldn’t have to pay Leicester compensation as they’d be contracting under Canadian rather than English law.

    I hope they don't do anything like that, as it would set a dangerous precedent.

    I’m not sure why it would be dangerous for rugby league. If you’re worried that Toronto might poach contracted players from UK clubs without compensation, the RFL would merely need to refuse to register them thereby scuppering Toronto.

    Yeah , I maybe being a bit harsh saying he is past his best . I watched the RU W/C final & he could have tried harder to get involved . No doubts on his day he can be devestating . Would not mind him at all in a Saints shirt .

    Also rumoured to be after Ben Te'o and Valentine Holmes and Christian Ward from the NFL.
