RIP Tommy was one of the last of a dying breed, a true blue Aussie larrikin.

I did post this in JA and I think it is appropriate I post it here as well

Tommy was indeed a one off.

Asked for no quarter and gave none.

Tough as teak and some.

A man of his era and he remained true to it right to the end.

Tommy will be sadly missed by many but hopefully never forgotten for all his vices and virtues of which there were many.

A very sad day for the RL community but no doubt he will have a very rousing send off with plenty of stories and lots of laughter.

Well played Tommy enjoy the showers.

Well said OT.

I hope they’re ready for him up there.
I’m sure Artie will be sitting there waiting for him with a deck of cards in front of him.
RIP Tommy.

Western Suburbs Magpie - Newtown Jet and and the bloke was indeed a legend in his own life time . If there was ever a whiff of a barney , then you could be sure that Tommy wouldn’t be too far away .

Sad news , R.I.P. cattle dog .

I'm St George / Illawarra body and soul
Tommy was a man you supported no matter who you followed or how devoted you were (are)
I'm sad for a bit.

Just maybe there's a lesson in here for the current crop of pretenders

RIP Tommy a legend of the game and a great personality. Fox showed a great interview with Tommy by Yvonne Sampson, I belive it was recorded last year. If you didnt see it I am sure they will replay it over the next few days well worth watching.

I am a completely devoted St George/Illawarra Dragons fan first & foremost. My number plates on my car are Dragons & to top it off I have a wrap on my boat that has a Dragons fan stamped all over it. My point is that when I was growing up in my low socioeconomic area I had an escape in the form of listening/living/watching & breathing football.I have followed the Mighty Dragons since 5 years old but have always loved an underdog!!
During the 80’s my second favourite team was West’s for that reason. Tommy was the epitome of an underdog which we all LOVED.
His honest straight forward nature is something our world needs NOW instead of the PC Brigade dominating. As a people if we can’t be honest with each other how can we move forward?? I LOVED Tommy’s passion, humour & toughness HE IS A LEGEND OF THE GAME & A TRUE NEW SOUTH WELSHMAN. R.I.P TOMMY YOU CHAMPION.

The way the current player hangs around after a loss on the footy field laughing with the opposition shits me off.
No way Tommy would stand for it.
Tommy would have more self respect for his Jumper Supporters and Himself.
I wish all our players would Tommy’s will to win for their team.
RIP
