Tom will be the first $2 million player - change my mind!

[bob dylan]

He should be our next coach.

Captain-Coach.

It would be a bit like Don Bradman being a great captain - his greatest asset was himself.

 

[winnyason]

Don't write that on a forum might give his manager ideas

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Mate I might become a believer if you can deliver these sort of miracles regularly. Give me Turbo on a 6 year deal any day over walking on water or feeding some masses with a loaf of bread and a can of tuna. (PS - I did like the water into wine one though)

Lol, can of tuna, now that would be something 🙂

What we are witnessing is potentially, the greatest ever player in an era where players have never been bigger, stronger or fitter. Where tactics have never been so fine tuned and where every angle is of play is scrutinized. And he just loves playing with his mates. Enjoy this whilst it lasts. Fate has gifted us this guy, and his brothers. How lucky are we ?On the other hand, fate can be very cruel. Look after yourself Tommy boy !

Week after week I just can't believe what I see Tom do.

I've never seen a player have a bigger influence on a game. And that includes Bozo and every other immortal although I didn't watch them all.

You just run out of words. I just shake my head in disbelief.

If you were still able to bet on the Dally M winner, he'd be paying $1.

Time for a hand-up honesty session. which of you lot were questioning if we should let him go earlier this year? there were a few be honest.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Don't recall anyone saying we should let him go...FMD if you could provide proof of this I would be surprised....

 

[40 years an eagle]

He has come miles from what he was 3, 2, or even 1 years ago. He is astonishing.

What has been the major catalyst...Des, Snake the bearded whisperer, Harry or his lying about the bathroom slip (which I know was not his idea)?

When he was injured there were people who were saying we should have let him go and kept Gutho

Ah,thought he was referring to this year.....he was talking about years past?
Or before he got his hammies right this year?

 

[Remy]

So many people lost hope for him, thought we should move him on, and were just frustrated with his injury problems. But look how this man has come back. We have the most talented footballer of all time on our team who if keeps going in this insane upward trajectory will easily be the greatest ever player to play the game. I am so proud and grateful to have him at the club.

This year when Tom was out

Turbo or Gutho? Who would you prefer?

I know Turbo is a better bloke and Gutho sometimes comes across as a dick but watching the game last night at least Gutho is playing ......

Probably a few factors but in my view (tho I'm just a mere mortal) I'd say Snake's influence. I've seen clear signs in Tom's games of how Snake use to play, and in particular how well he could read the game from the back. Didn't see it in previous years but this year it's been significant.

What an out and out champion sportsman and we're so lucky to have him!

Ah,thought he was just talking about people suggesting we should let him go,fair enough....
Maybe we should revisit whether Gutho is worth more than 500?

 

[Cliffymagic]

Taken it to the top level this year.
What's he going do next few years O.O

 

[globaleagle]

I will give you 6 billion dollars to change your mind.

 

[Nordburg]

If he’s going to make 0 tackles every week,like last night,he’s only worth $1.5 million.Can’t pay too much for someone who bludges out the back,Manly aren’t the Tigers

 

[Dan]

Already checking a few immortal boxes. Changing the way fullbacks play the game (playing like another forward). Dominant over everyone else. He is just in a class all of his own. Another 2 years of this kind of stuff and he would have to go down as one of the best of all time

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

I don’t think it’s just all of us having our Silvertails glasses on either.

I have a few mates that think he is the best player they have seen. We are all in our mid 40’s so we didn’t see a lot of the immortals play but of the modern players he is pretty special.

 

[The Who]

Let's hope he doesn't have the same dream as The Hayne Plane!
