Geez, lets get Gutho back, Tom and Dylan can play centres and if we've got to take TRex stick him in at five-eighth, it couldn't be worse than we've got now.
I was joking Moondoggie .... I hope

Fullback is his spot and he will leave if he doesn't get the fullback spot that he has been waiting for for a number of years.
Fullback is his spot and he will leave if he doesn't get the fullback spot that he has been waiting for for a number of years.This is good for Tom to learn to play different positions I expect him to play a lot of rep footy in the centres but not at manly. Fullback is his spot and he will leave if he doesn't get the fullback spot that he has been waiting for for a number of years. And there isn't any great fullbacks we have at the club to take his place. Tom will be fullback next year no doubt he is too good for centre but geez he is making a lot of good defensive centres this year look silly.
Sorry for expressing my opinionFullback is his spot and he will leave if he doesn't get the fullback spot that he has been waiting for for a number of years.
Just how many years has he been waiting for this spot? I am sure if you speak to Tom, he would never believe that the number 1 was his jumper in our team ATM.
Apologies to Chunky for parroting his post. Note to self, read later posts rather than posting what someone has already said, idiot.
He looks good at centre; however, he has so much talent that I think fullback is the best spot for him. Fullback offers more to a team than centre and you want a genuine talent like Tom in that position.
He still has a lot to learn particularly in defensive positioning - that comes with time, experience and actually playing at fullback. Next year I can't see Snake playing, so Tom to fullback and we need to bring in a couple of backs for centre/wing - whether that is Ramien and a purchase like Bowen, I don't know.
Yes I know, I have been watching him for a few years now - I was referring to him needing time at fullback in first grade. It's a whole different kettle of fish defensively in first grade (positioning, directing the team's defensive line etc) - that takes time to adjust to. Next year, instead of shifting between wing and centre, we should put him at fullback and give him time to grow in the position.he has played most of his junior football at fullback ...
He is going to be a big boy in a few years time that is for sure.actually I think he could end up prop the way we are going and the way he's growing

rate that kid highly, would love him to come to manly but i think the rabbitohs would try hard to keep him.Buy Aaron Gray as well he is electric on the wing
im not so sure about the criticism of tom at fullback. Hes only 19 and if he learns his defensive positional play i think he could be our brett stewart replacement.I still think he'd make a great long term centre with Walker. Tom is 19, Walker is what - 20 or 21? They'd own those spots for the next decade. I worry how he'd hold up playing fullback long term.
