Snake

[Rodo]

Tom's game has gone to another level since Des brought Snake back to the club. He was one of the best anyway, but he still made a lot of errors in both attack and defence. Since he's had Snake guiding his progress, he's arguably become the best fullback in the game (not just the NRL). He's better than Tedesco, better than RTS, better than Gutho and an absolute $hitload better than Mitchell.

Strange situation though. Although he's become the best fullback in the game, because of his ability to also play the three quarters equally as good, and because they won't leave Tedesco out of the NSW or Australian teams while he's playing well, Tom will most likely play most of at least the first half of his rep career without the #1 on his back.

And the scary thing is that I don't think he's anywhere near his peak, he still has improvement in him. But he can't have any better teacher than Brett Stewart.

And he still has a long way to go to be as good as Brett was.

Miles!
But he has the right people in his corner now.
