A legend IMO after seeing him speak at a few functions as he handled him self better than some of the other legends.
RIP Tom

I used to love watching his passion for the game and watched us playing wests at Lidcombe Oval plenty of times. Tommy had a lot of respect for some of our guys and loved the toughness of Paul Sait. You will be missed Tommy, thanks for some great memories.

Now there is a player who has left a huge legacy on the game. Toughest half I have seen. For mine he was tougher than Billy Smith who also was tough but I don’t recall him taking the hit ups and trying to change the flow of a game like Tommy would.

Loved the little guy, played well above his weight, warrior even in his battle with cancer. RIP legend.

I was at the game and I thought Newtown had won when Tommy scored that try but Warren Ryan IMO made a mistake replacing 2 forwards ( Uninjured ) with 2 fresh ones at the same time and the team lost its rhythm then.

Some tough buggers in this brawl…Tom,Les Boyd,Mark Broadhurst,Krilich,Geoff Gerrard
We know Tom would run through brick walls,but ironically in that famous match between Souths v Wests at Lidcombe,’‘Barney’’ ran through 5 Wests players to score under the posts

I was there too, he was a hero in a losing team that day. The hill at the SCG on grandfinal days back in the 80’s, what a zoo
