If players want to get out of a run down former mining town then Halifax RLFC is a good place to start to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. "Deaderstone to Halifax - my colliery escape" is Divorty's first book out next month. Book signing in a posh book shop in Wakefield - just a short horse-ride away from Feeev.

Poor OP is visibly devastated that TT chose the mighty Fax, we should feel for him not mock him.

Great lad is Tonka. Enjoy watching him in a fax shirt for the next 6 games!!
Couldn't possibly imagine where he'll be next season!!

Lovely lad and superb family.

I'd hope his next move (if it happened) would be for a Super League team.

we'll have Ryan Esders if he goes!!

As I read this post all I could see was tumbleweed across the computer screen.

Im guessing we didnt do a deal with Huddersfield just to see him finish the season with us.

Re: Halistone Rovers : Tue Jul 10, 2012 8:48 am  

You guess correctly. Again, I'd be quite happy for you to address this with Tony should you feel fit!! Nice bloke. Very approachable and as straight as a dye.
He'll tell you quite clearly how it is/was if you are that interested.
If you're just trying to score a point on a t'interweb forum, and aren't really bothered how it is/was, that's cool too!

Dont worry, players dont normally discuss their contract dealings with Joe public. How much do you earn? Your probably not going to say and why would you? And yes I already know Tony is a great bloke and cant wait to see him in a Fax shirt.

Bolded bit just bolded because when you re-read it you realize how funny it actually sounds.

Re: Halistone Rovers : Tue Jul 10, 2012 8:58 am  

Surprisingly some players are happy to discuss that aspect of their lives - particularly those on good deals. e.g. Jamie Rooney was more than happy to blurt out all sorts when he was a Barrow. - I haven't discussed owt like that with Tony myself.
For what it's worth I'm a top of Band 7 community (LD) nurse in wakey. - that salary banding is available for all to see on the NHS website!!!
