Tooooooooks retires

Former Eels cult here Mark Tookey has announced his retirement, despite having only just announced he was returning to Australia to play in the Queensland cup. Tookey was a popular player at Parramatta with his massive frame and with every hitup Parra Stadium would reverberate to the call of "Tooooks".

However, he left the club to play the Warriors where he failed to make the same impression, before heading to the UK to play the English Super League. He knocked back ESL offers to return to Australia and had planned to play in the Queensland Cup for Redcliffe but has apparently had a change of heart, instead announcing his retirement.
