Its a good signing if it will be extended beyond this season. If it is short term I don't see the point of it. There is only 6-7 games left and would want to stick with the players that got us here in the first place and give them the chance to finish the season. The team is in transition this year with all the different signings and it is about building longer term rather than short term.

I'm not really into the who's signed for who and in what order (although i am a member of the RL rumour club) what i will say is Tonka is a great signing for you, the guy never gives less than 100%. He's played hardly any rugby this year but he'll still be better than Azue and Gannon.

Jim Gannon is having a great season. I must be honest I haven't always been a fan, but, after buying dvd's of some of Fax's games this year I appreciate what a coach see's in him.
A nice bloke too.

You never know Tonka might like what he see's at Halifax and Fax may like what they see in TT and choose to stay together for a while.

If not i'm sure both parties will manage.

Welcome aboard Tony, enjoy your time here and all the best whatever happens.

Yes your right, however we tried to get Tonks early season when Gannon had been told he was not part of Karl's plans. Tonk's didn't come so Gannon was given another year. Jim won't be with us next year.
O'h and neither will Tonka.

Have you seen pictures of tiny tiny little babies' hands in the palm of its father? That would be me and Jim in an arm wrestle. The only RL player I could have whooped was Toa Kohe Love but he eventually fell off his sickbed and retired.

Today's Courier or should I say this weeks Courier states that Tonk's thinks we are capable of wining all 3 cops this year and would like to stay next year.
