"charismisic, karamis... charamistic" Good on you Gus. For real though, R.I.P. Tommy
Lost it there bless every credit ❤️
Quite literally the last of a generation. That 70s and 80s era of Rugby League that was played by madmen and fools, where brutal mass brawls were par for the course, well that was Tommy. Tommy was the last visible link to that crazy time in our game. A fearless man with a big heart, and an absolute legend for Wests, Newtown, NSW and Australia. Thanks Tom. You'll be missed champion.
Plenty of greats from 70s and 80s still alive, some from 60s and 50s as well
I love your take their but to call them fools is a bit of a stretch you wouldn’t call them that to their face, they were definitely madmen and truly brutal the way they played but they were not fools lad
I have never heard Gus lost for words.
But it is a testimony to his character.
His respect for Tommy is greatly appreciated.
RIP TOMMY.
💯
He played with the man for two years in Newtown
Gus was struggling to keep it together 😢
That was emotionally hard for Gus, just shows how loved Tommy was across the entire Rugby League community. Rest In Peace
He should've been an Immortal, May he Rest in Peace, A True Legend of the Game.
Well said Gus. Greatest personality of any rugby or football code .
Pretty hard to deliver a speech like this....on ya Gus 🙏👏
Saw him curled up, fast asleep in changing room, still in is muddy jumper after kangaroo v Hull tour match.....gave his all...every time!
A true rugby league legend right there
Rip Tommy
A real knock about character that was well loved .. R . I . P . Tommy
The fact these words were spoken speaks volumes ❤️❤️❤️
That was a wonderful tribute from Gus. It's not like he had a week to prepare. What he said said was true about the gift of giving a happy memory. As you get older you discover that there are less and less chances to escape the difficulties of getting old. One of the few ways is through your memory. You can sit back with your memories and if you're lucky, they will be happy ones, and for a little while you can smile. Tommy did that for us. He gave us something to remember.
What a legend, Tommy Raudonikis we all love you bro
Tommy was such a character that I think some of the younger generation gloss over the fact that he was one helluver player. The Australian halfback for many years that held Sterling and Mortimer and some real greats. Bless you Tom. Forever a legend
Tommy’s a legend. He is honestly someone I owe a lot to. He made Queensland selection panel select Alfie. Alfie is my childhood hero, and made me so happy so often and none of that happens without Tommy. 1 the sheer respect Tommy had that a blue could force a selection for Queensland, and the sheer integrity of the man that he gave us a legend not a nufty. Tommy will always be the backline version of Gordon Tallis.
Yep, all of it true. Great words, Gus.
Well spoken RIP tommy
Outstanding tribute from a man who was obviously a friend
You legend..... R.I.P Tom.
Rest in peace old mate there will never be another breed like you i salute you god bless
Just watched the 1981 GF again. God those guys were hard! I’ve been a Parra supporter since 1968 but have always loved Tommy with 1981 being the only exception. Looking back on Gus playing alongside Tommy on that day makes me understand why Gus, for the very first time I can remember, really struggled with his words. He is literally holding back his tears.
Hard? Bunch soft marshmallows playing a 'sport' which attracts the bottom feeders with no brain!
@@vc8160 Fair enough. The sport nowadays you could consider it that way. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, you’d be absolutely wrong. Those times were rough, punches were thrown, massive hits, causing injuries. But those men, never gave up. They did their all, for the team. For you to come out like this, is incredibly disrespectful and just goes to show him much of a knob you are.
Unless you were alive to see him in action , you could never imagine how tough he was , forget man of steel he was made of diamond . RIP little general and thanks for your service in bringing pride to this nation thru the incredible achievements of the Kangaroos in that era
What a legend rest in peace Tommy you are a champion for what you have accomplished as a player and as a coach you were one of the toughest competitors I have ever seen 😔
as a person who never got to see him play, and a person who was born in 2006, i like tough and more physical league play. tommy was the definiton of that. Rugby League shall never be like this again because of the legendary magpie tommy raudonikis
Havin a beer with Artie , no doubt ! RIP Tommy
Yeah 😔
Like the song..a working class man.. Tommy,you was & always be..one of our own..
King Tommy
Thank you Tommy. In and era of greatness, you stood head and shoulders above the best on the field.. It was always a privilege to watch you play, Cattle Dog. From a lifelong South Sydney supporter.
Rip tommy, you will not be forgotten
What can you say about Tommy Raudonikis..... He was a Legend, Toughest Half Back ive ever seen, He tackled and Ran like a Lock, I remember watching him play for Wests & Newtown, i think all of Australia cheered when he scored that try in the GF against Parramatta, RIP Tommy.
Great pic with Block, well said Gus
Before I was old enough to even watch a game on tv, Raudonikis, Beetson and Fulton were known legends to me and everyone in Australia. By the time I started watching, 1978, it was the Fibro v Silvertails days, and Tommy was right in the thick of it. What a magic year of league that will always stay in my mind. I was a Roosters fan, but I think everyone except Manly fans also admired Wests :)
A REAL MAN!!
A critical in gradient in today's rugby league will miss you
Tommy raudonikis is looking down on the blues let's do it I love Tommy let's do it with passion 💙
3 years on what a legend
The last of the hard men he wasn't the biggest player but was 100% heart and the love he had for football his fellow players and opponents after the game made him special what happened on the fields stayed there he will be missed by all Queensland included RIP LEGEND TOMMY just one sad day but you will never be forgotten by all who loved football and all who had contract with just touched everyone soul good buy last of your kind and thanks for the memories.
He’s off with Artie and his Grandson. May he Rest In Peace
I'm not a fan of Gould but, damn, the pain in his voice got me.
Tommy was fearless in a brutal era no matter who the opposition was.
....R.I.P. Tommy....your a f*@k'n legend ....from all us "Silver-tails" !!....👍
There wouldn't be many ppl around not feeling upset about Tommy. I wasn't very old when Tommy played ñ retired, so i can't comment much on his playing days, except from the old vids. I got to know Tommy thru the telly in interviews etc & he was a good old Aussie bloke, a little Aussie battler, they don't make Aussie blokes anymore, their hardness, toughness, wore his heart on his sleeve, trying to get the best outta everyone... These days a bloke just gets looked at & he gets butt hurt, masculinity has gone, it's sad to see that the Aussie bloke has died along with Tommy. Loved ya Tommy, from a Parra Sheila 💞💞💞
I grew up watching him play on tv and live at games. It was always a thrill to see him up close, with Wests or with Newtown, even though I was a born and bred Cronulla boy. He was just a legend who never failed to deliver, be it in insight into the game, or a humorous anecdote. While ever Rugby League exists, he will be remembered. RIP Tommy.
Miss you tommy
Thank you Gus
Well said Sir.
👏👏 thanks Tommy!!
R.I.P
Never forget how he got caught drinking 4× on the footy show and made us laugh. RIP legend
BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN 😂. Bless his soul, one of the most loyal people you’d ever meet.
Tommy would of laughed at charamistic and cried at the same time
This is really sad for tommy
Who ever disliked, Get a life
🥊 Tommy

I like to think they’re up there getting the boys together ready for a game OLD Artie NSW tommy .I wonder who be the reff
Go hard and go well Tommy, loved and respected from pretty much all Queenslanders. As for you Gus, just shut up mate.
