If he retired, I'd miss his crunching tackles. For a little bloke he can really stop and hurt players far bigger than he .

Great news, was playing absolutely outstanding at the end of the year I thought.

Also from a leadership point of view losing Tommy and SOL in the same year would have been a blow.

Another year for Smith to develop without the pressure of a starting shirt.

Class player playing his 11th year a the club.
Make him captain!

Let’s start writing the script…

Tommy Leuluai is without doubt the best defensive halfback I have ever seen and probably hooker. Yes the likes of Roby, Houghton and Sam Powell might make more tackles, but none of them hit as hard as Tommy on a regular basis and it doesn't matter who or how big that opponent is.

Who was it when asked what did you learn from that game? He replied, "Don't run at Tommy Leuluai's right shoulder" It may have been Jon Wilkin?

I think James Graham is still looking for a couple of ribs after that (slightly illegal) hit in the Grand Final.

Tommy has looked as fresh as a daisy these past couple of months and you don’t turn your nose up at a player like that.

Never quite sure how to spell his surname but great news.

A future coaching role guaranteed too.

We don't need to know how to spell his surname up here simply known as "WEE TAM"and everyone knows who you mean lol . Great to see more rib crunchers next season .

Amazing how some change their opinions on players!

To be expected that ruddy. When a player goes through a bad spell there will always be people on their back

I remember talking to you at The Stoop (Yes that long ago!!) and you were a huge fan of "Wee Tam" then

You do know you’re allowed to change opinions right? For example 18months ago if you’d have asked “Is Powell good enough?” I would have said “no” - as would many others on here.

Changing opinions is accepting you were wrong initially. You’d do well to remember that pal.
