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.

Thanks John, I wholeheartly agree with you

Yep, I'll drink to that (are you buying )

Tony Tonks = respect.
Top player, as hard as nails, a throw back to the old days when guts and graft were the key factors yet good enough to do that and stay the pace in todays game.
Whoever he plays for all the best to the bloke.

PS: It made me smile when it was said if he leaves Fev it would leave a dent in their forwards.

Well TT has been leaving a dent in everybody else forwards for some time.

Would be a really good signing but the ball is in his court now. All we know is that he wont be at Fev next year and its either Hudds or Fax.I think he could defnatley learn a lot from playing under one of the best props in his time in Harrison.

Re: TONY TONKS : Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:11 pm  

I don't think he could learn any more in this league. I believe he's the form prop at this level at the mo. The only way he'll improve further than where he's at now is by stepping up a level and testing himself with full time training within a SL set up.
Signing with Fax would offer him a similar environment to what he's got - he would still be amongst the best at this level - no better.
Fax would be the benefactors of his talent no end. We'll see where he ends up - I hope he hets his chance in SL.
I will miss him greatly. A personal fav of mine. But I know our BoD will line up a decent replacement for us if they haven't already.

To be fair, if he wanted to do that, he couldve left at least 2 years ago when Rhino was at Batley

Dont see what difference Rhino being at Fax makes in this scenario

Re: TONY TONKS : Fri Sep 23, 2011 4:20 pm  

I would like to see Tonka stay but im a realist and think he deserves a chance in SL...He reminds me of the old time props but smarter and fitter..

Which ever way he decides to go he will be a Fev legend as far as im concerned..

Well done, you've won it two years running!

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.

I'd say it was. And I bet the £100,000 prize money that goes with it is what your club thinks is more important, too, wouldn't you say?

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

But, you haven't been as you have been beaten this year. Consistency gone out the window, old bean.

Either way, 'fax are still also rans this year

If you say so.

Thank-you! And to you, too!

Re: TONY TONKS : Fri Sep 23, 2011 6:13 pm  

For me Tonks would be a dream signing but thats all it will probably be a dream. Good luck to Tonks whatever he decides to do he is a great player and a nice guy.
