Indeed T's whole story is an inspiring one. Legend is too often a word used these days, but in this case it's on the button, in it's truest sense.

| If i lost my wife and then lost a leg i genuinely don't think i'd have the emotional strength. This guy really is an inspiration and if Gaz Thomas is worthy of a film then Nikau's story needs plugging to the script writers.
I'll say it again, inspirational.

I think Nikau's story would be a great film but to find the right actor to play him is the problem but I think there is a Kiwi called Temeura Morrison ( not sure about the surname ) who might be able to. Just don't let Mickey Rourke near it.

| There have been a few players that have undeservedly been given the title of "Legend" by some fans. This bloke is the real deal and a proper legend. I wish we could somehow get him to at least visit Cas again so we can shake his hand again and introduce him to the younger Cas fans.

It'd be great to have him at Castleford again.

I think The Rock has a look of T in his prime,he would be a good shout.
As all has said what a fantastic player he was and an inspirational human being

| Legend is a term that people use too easily, however this is one man who can certainly fit into the description... A true legend, hero and above all a wonderfully generous human being. Wish i could attend the game just to do my bit to raise money and to see this guy play once again

| To put it simply, and perhaps not so eloquently: balls you could fire from a cannon.
This guy is my personal hero.

| Complete Legend
I will echo the thought that a far better film would be 'T's life story than that of Mr Thomas.
Inspirational and if you watched him play you know he is a Legend by the way you go misty eyed at the thought...
