Funny enough he had a blinder on Sunday against his new club.
Tommy is upset but I explained you have to go where a contract is on offer. Good player, awesome bloke I never normally wish players well when they leave but I will make an exception this time
All the best mate you have a fan for life with Tom

He always plays very well for Newtown. Has offloading ability probably at the same level as Takairangi. He'll tackle himself to a standstill when he's playing tight and is very quick for a backrower. I know we have an abundance of second rowers, but I think if he stays he'll be pushing for a position at lock. If he is kept it will probably be for depth in the centres which is a shame because he showed in firsts this year that the backrow is his position. But if he works on his speed considerably in the pre season and his handling when hitting hard lines he may prove a very handy more experienced centre replacement for any injuries that crop up on either side of the field throughout the year.
