Your correct about his lack of pace, and he was a poor defender.

He was a top class player but the lack of pace stopped him being world class.

Even though he lacked pace he still scored some 50 meter trys.

I seem to recall him kicking the ball football style against the pies for bout 40 meters but nobody beat him to the line.

Sorry rogues but tommy was the best 6 in super league during his time at saints.

He tried different things.

He ripped Wigan apart loads of times. 9/10 when playing Wigan he had a stormer. Remember his hatrick, of which he scored the winning try at JJB.

Didn't the pies claim he knocked on?

Didn't tommy score the last try at centrel park?

Not even good as Ainscoughs at Harlequins this season though.

How many caps did terrible Tommy get?
he was another Lee briers, flattered to deceive, and just like Briers couldn't tackle.

And that's why NO coach ever picked him for England or GB.

The ball was knocked out, and he tried to regather the ball but completely missed it, it bounced, he picked it up, straight under the sticks. Think we won 30-28.

And unlike Briers, has plenty of medals.

Yes, for the losing side.

He was a leyther, we had to humour him.

He actually came very close to signing for Wigan, Ellery Hanley saw his defensive deficiencies and wanted rid.

Thank god he never came.

He didn't knock on as the try was awarded!

It's great to know a saints player scored the last try at central park.

Ah, is that the reason for Rogues' bitterness? He's usually so balanced as well, for a Pie. He's still hurting, isn't he? Bless.
