If I were Fev, I'd be more bothered about who they'll replace Tonka with. His loss from their squad will severely dent their pack.

ey up MM, I remember reading this forum in January with contributors predicting Fev's demise after Zac had left and how it would 'stuff them up' when Briggsy then left.
Tonka's departure is well covered though I accept he's a massive favorite amongst the fans and it'll be sad to see him go. I still suspect he'll end up in SL and I hope he gets a chance. But who knows where he'll be next year.

Big fan of Tonka, RFF, probably the type of player we have missed with regularity. He will take some replacing for you guys if he goes.

Well, yes he would and as he's been a personal fav of mine of recent years, I'm gutted that he's moving on. I just hope he gets his gig in SL - the thought of him running into us next season is not too palateable tbh.
BUT - his replacement will be of similar quality so won't effect our side too much.

A match to win before then! The let the speculation roll

What? Apart from the Championship League Leaders Shield?

If you are referring to the end of season bonus competition that you won last year, then fair play if that's what you think is important.

Personally, being consistantly better than your peers is what's important to me.

Either way, 'fax are still also rans this year

Good luck next year!

Far rather with the Bonus competition and bag the cash prize, than get a tray to serve drinks on in the VIP suite

Well it's open to debate like and depends on how you view who is the best and most successful team of the year - BUT, on balance I agree with you!

I know after the last game at Post Office Rd, I was a bit vocal about the way we were treated as we left the ground.
However, that's in the past.
I think what Featherstone have done over the last few years has been brilliant.
Personally, next year I would like both clubs to make a statement, requesting that bygones be bygones, no separate car parking and a drink at that pub opposite before a drink in your bar.

As I say good luck at the Final.

Best team of the year is that who performs week in week out and finishes top of the pile, however the way this competition works is the team who win the playoffs are crowned champions, and take the big prize, not the way I'd work things if it was upto me, but other sports do it too so its not unusual
