Thommo you Beast

[maxta]

Maybe not Ben Kennedy in ability
But this blokes heart is the size of Brookie....made many big plays that went unnoticed by many, that I admire.
Scored a key try...saved 2-3 with 1 on 1 shots and throug the game....made the ugly plays others hide from...
Up with AFB as my best today!!

Agree, along with Jake he is filthy when we lose and tries till the last minute

 

[robbiea]

One of the only guys out there that can put in when needed and actually lift the team.Started season off slow and not impressive,but has come on in leaps and bounds .Am loving his motivation ,proving to be valuable out there.

 

[Pepi]

Hopefully he has another couple of years in him. Has been huge for us.

He resembles the Manly culture we always talk about. Truly our toughest player, and with that effort I'd go as far to say that he's probably our most important asset to hold onto. Stay injury free and we can build a club around himself, Tanginoa, Jake Trbo, Kelly, Taupau (if he's here for right reasons) and DCE

Heard him interviewed on a podcast I listen to, he supported Manly as a kid its the main reason he signed with us. Been excellent for us and seems like a really great bloke.

I wasn't 100% convinced when we signed him and it took him a little while to readjust and find his feet with us, but he's been up there as one of our best players ever since. Really has done everything he was expected to do: add a little starch in the defence, score some tries, show the younger players how it's done. He's been great.

Can’t believe people were bagging him earlier in the season on these forums. Such a good bloke and always puts everything in.

I’ve been a fan since I first put him in a fantasy team years ago when he was at the raiders. The kind of toiler you need in every team but also runs a good line and good support player

Must admit ,he was pretty quiet and non effective his first six weeks or so,but has got better week in week out.

As does his grandma, he said she was very happy when he signed with us.

Captain material ahead of DCE

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Quality guy off the field as well does a LOT of community stuff!!

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Thommo is so good on that left side with Brian Kelly and DCE

With that beard he's got going, we might have to call him Ned Kelly 2 with Brian as Ned Kelly 1

And then we have Red Kelly on the right wing

Great acquisition to the side.

We need another Thommo. Experienced old head in the forwards. Suli would benefit from a pre-season in back row as well.

I loved his hit on Dugan.

I liked that barnstormer run from Suli in the first half....he was almost “damn- didn’t know I was such a weapon”....then wanted to get his hands on the ball again.
This kid is all about confidence- if Manly play some quality footy and give him a sniff of half chances- could well become the sensation he was touted to be.
Personally been disappointed by his form, but that’s in a losing side after a chequered past....showed with that 1 moment- the ability is there.

 

[Pepi]

Agreed - I think Suli could make a very damaging backrower. Has some pace (probably not enough to be a centre) but is powerful and runs a good line.
