Think you'll be disapointed in a few weeks, rumour has it that Tonks is already a Fev lad next year

I dont have a problem with how Powell acted. End of an emotional game he thought his team would win. His team played poorly and made some poor decisions. He probably was not a happy bunny. He is human and as a human, liable to not think clearly at times and make mistakes etc. No harm done and am sure is wishing he could go back and maybe do things differently. He still is a quality coach and one I respect. His team are still a quality team and one that could easily have won on Sunday if things had gone their way a bit more. Instead of fans making a meal of things on what Sam Barlow or Daryll Powell allegedly said or did just let it go. Its not important. Banter is OK but sometimes this bitching is over the top.

Re the bottles, they were handing the beer bottles out over the counter for a while, til the ratty woman (anyone who used the bar down the side will know who i mean) suddenly realised they weren't meant to and produced more pint pots.

I brought 2 bottles of coke and were given the bottles, with caps on (which most football grounds take off)

With Manning, Fieldhouse, Robbo, Tyrer, Ambler etc... all signing extensions it's makes a perfect backdrop for Tonks to re-sign to Fax.

If he's not good enough for Fev in 2012 why should he be in 2013? especially when Fax have extended contracts of most of their key players.

Will be interesting but I think TT will be fax or SL player come 2013.

We bought bottles and asked a steward if we could take them through to the stand and was told we could. It should have been consistent around the ground - either you could or you couldn't.

As for stuff being thrown on the pitch and players spitting, I've heard different things but once again off pitch stuff is being focused on instead of what went on in the 80 which was a great game of rugby. Yeah it didn't go Fev way sunday, but if it had been the other way round they'd have been proud of that win like we are of Fax.

I didn't see any trouble and am glad. I want to see both clubs continuing with the progress they've made so far.

Unless Barlow was doing his Dynamo the magician impersonation on a couple of the official club 'photo's or appearing to put Jamie Leahy through a reading test I would have thought that programme he's clearly holding up is the object what we're discussing here.

That Tonks rumour must be as good as the Sam Barlow running at a woman and spitting at her one. Tonks was very chatty and personal with Rhino in the corner at the after match party for a long time and as I lip-read one of our totally tanked up directors saying to his mate that Tonks signed couple weeks ago. I must have been the only sober one at that party!! But i got a lot of info hehe. Sam's signing was going to be announced but they didn't as they just wanted them to enjoy... and not take the shine off. A Fev fan (not mentioning no names for his own safety lol) inboxed me saying its malicious about sam, saying he pretended to spit but didn't. However, whoever it was didn't like this pi** take so they reported it as sam actually spitting. Its being investigated by the RFL and if all is the case it will be NFA.

which could well be one and the same seeings how things at Odsal are panning out ?

I have no idea where Tonks will be next year but, it is not true that they thought him not good enough this year. He is not dual reg therefore Fev would have had to breach the salary cap to sign him wheareas we had a vacancy.

True, no idea, but I think regretably he will be at Fev next year. Maybe that delightful character rov9899 might have the answer.

think michael haley will make way for tonka, he's a good player but injury prone and he'sout of contract at the end of this season, fevs props next year could be tonks, dickens, england and maloney, that's an awsome front row you have to say, lets see what happens but with tonks only signing till the end of the season and already working well with powell, i can see him at fev next year.

A very reliable source has told me that TT has already signed for next year.

signed for who - Fev or Fax?

I'd be amazed if he's committed to anything as of yet, surely he'd be keeping all his doors open?
