Great signing by the way.

Well done to all involved.

Now for Penky........

Top signing and another statement of intent by the club i'm sure we haven't seen the best of him by any means.
The Fev fans I know who saw week in week out rate him very highly and would have loved to have him back.
Welcome onboard for the next couple of years TT and most of all enjoy your rugby mate.

Thought Tonks was ineffective on Sunday v Batley. Especially in his first stint with Barlow. They were both blowing and didnt appear to get it to the game. Almost as if they had both been out on the p/ss the night before.

I think much of that was down to the Batley pack and they deserve some credit there a big fit outfit.
Our lads just kept going and were really putting themselves about in the second half and slowly but surely got on top and won it for us with 3 of the tries in the game coming from the front row.

Awesome....with a full pre season behind him Tonka will be firing on all cylinders next season. Its hard for a guy to come back from a broken arm and a load of A team games at Huddersfield and be expected to step up straight away for half a dozen games. Im sure its more about what he will do for us on a 2 year deal. Well done Tony and to the club, made my evening!

and turned down Fev as well...........No wonder Powell has his knickers well and truly in a twist over us.

Re: Tony Tonks : Tue Sep 04, 2012 9:22 pm  

There is reasons why he has gone to Fax his personal life has to be priority like I said when you signed him the other month he did want to come to fev ( although not many of fax fans believed it )and there wasn't room for him due to the team playing well This time he has picked Fax and good luck to him you have got one of the best forwards in the championship and I wish him well

I don't think he turned down Fev as such, 'fax were more willing to be flexible with training around his career plans.

That said, gutted that we didn't manage to secure his services and I'm dreading him tearing into us.

You've got yourselves a cracker there.
