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

ditto pete

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.

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

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..

i think this is one of the best statements you,ve wrote on here fev

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





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?



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



If you say so.





Thank-you! And to you, too!

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.

Fev got anymore forwards we can have off them?

Don't be silly.

Heard it's up to him now, he has been offered terms.

Source?

Someone I spoke to.

I was not expecting a better answer than that to be honest.

Giants still favs but you never know.
I'd be gutted to see him running at us next season. It just wouldn't seem right.

I would expect he will join the Giants and if he does I hope he goes well for them

I guess he has to look at his prospects. I guess he would be a bit part player in the Hudds team but could be a great opportunity for him. I dont know what job he does away from the game but the chances are he would be a first team regular at Fax and get quite a bit in winning bonus. Would be interesting to see how it all stacks up.

Would be an excellent addition to the squad, but i would be really surprised if he ended up anywhere other than Giants to be honest...still we'll have to wait and see what happens i suppose
