It was not a very nice way to end his FC tenure and it could well end his career. He always put in solid performances and could well have been kept on next term as you always need quality centres to help develope the younger ones. He showed hsi quality on anumber of occassions and for a player who as far as I remember correctly came from the outgoing Crusaders team cost FC virtually nothing. His wages where in part of nearly fully paid by the RFL and where outside the cap.

Never the less he played with some passsion for the cause and in recent years we have had more then our share of people collecting wages for nothing.

I thank him for his efforts and commitment to FC

Poor signing or not,he played for us whilst injured,never let us down and some of the comments on here are downright out of order.

Get well Tony and thankyou for your time here.

Well said.

Do you think Will Sharp would have shown improvement if we hadn't signed Tony Martin?

He's given 100% commitment when he has played, it's a sad day that any player has to retire through injury.

Thanks for all you've done for us Tony, I hope you recover soon and find a new club soon.

Agree wholeheartedly.

well said phil,agree with all that you say.

He will always be respected for playing with a pretty serious neck injury for us when others wouldn't, that alone means the club should help him through his rehab until at the very least the end of his contract.

Yeap played really well in some games. Had a steadying influence over the backline in conjunction with Gentle's appointment and helped improve a lot of our young backline which has been his biggest legacy.

Get well soon.

If that's his career over then it's a terrible way to end.

I wish him well for the future.

Spot on. Surprised to see him pairing with Briscoe not Sharp on Saturday...

I like Tony and am sorry if this is the end. Thank you, Smiley-Martin.

Spot on
Get well Tony and cheers for your efforts

Wasn't that denied?

They all got off the quota though.

This.

Gutted for him.
