I'm happy to discuss the process with you privately Greg should you wish. But essentially you are making some wide of the mark assumptions re the Giants and negotiations with Fev/Fax. Tony made his intentions to join the Giants so we moved for Dom and secured his services with the money free'd up by Tonka's departure. The Giants deal stalled for a couple of weeks when Harrison nipped in with an offer, which looked like would be the likely outcome til the giants finalised the deal.
This year he (Tonka) has spoken with mark and daryl and Fev was his preferred option. Many would love to see him back at Fev - but at which players expense?? A decision to stick with our front four who are on fire at the mo left Tonka with good offers from Dews//Fax to consider. He chose Fax.
Tonka is a cracking bloke away from rugby and will give his all. However, he's had precious little rugby this year and will need time to get up to match speed and familiar with his team mates. With only 6 games of the season left Daryl made the decision it wasn't a gamble worth taking at this stage of the season. C'est la vie.
If you want any clarity/validation on any of the above, I suggest you approach Tony himself.
However, I'm quite happy with him getting some match practice and fitness at another club before the end of season merry go round starts in ernest!
