Such a huge hearted player and character to match.
"Cattledog". RIP
One of the greatest characters the game has ever had and a champion of a man . RIP Tommy .
A passionate Rugby League identity who left a lot to those who lived through his career. Too young to go at 71
If ever there was a definition of a "westie" Tommy does it. Great innings Tommy, well played RIP.
RIP Tommy, the worlds down a good man today.
RIP Tommy. A great character of the game.
I remember around 1977/78 Parts were to play Western Suburbs. Caroline Jones had a small segment on Rugby League on the ABC on Friday mornings, and she interviewed Graham Murray and another Parts player ( I can't remember who it was.
Caroline suggested to GM that Tommy was pretty tough and asked if he was concerned. GM joked and said something like, "gee I hope he dosen't hurt me".
Well - Tommy belted GM from pillar to post that game.
