Toronto get sticky...Aaron Bower - On Tony Gigot, am told he's signed on amateur terms as a triallist at Toronto - Super League clubs can register up to two amateur players this year - and won't be paid to play. However, amateur players can only play reserve fixtures, not first-team games..
Well they don't, but the rules are there in black and white on the RFL website:
"..a limited number of amateur players can now be registered by Betfred League 1 clubs, Betfred Championship clubs, and Betfred Super League clubs for Reserves League fixtures ONLY (up to two)."
Laughable that they could get done for fielding an ineligible player.
