    So sad, this one hurts, it hurts. We’ve lost a true Australian, a great rugby league player and I’m sure a family member that will be missed by all of the family.

      J G in Australia and new Zealand the weaker men unable to play rugby, play soccer. Rugby isn’t a popularity contest, it’s for the best men in the land.

    Tommy was an absolute legend, and the one thing I’ll always believe shows you how respected Tommy was. Despite Kevin Walters and Laurie spina absolutely schooling Langer in the origin trial in 87, Tommy told dud beatie that langer was an absolute must for origin. Such was Tommy’s respect and aura dud beatie over ruled Bennett he over ruled the rest of the selection panel, and single handedly gave Queensland an icon the broncos its greatest player and me my hero. Just let that sink in a new south Welshman influenced a Queensland selection and because of how much integrity Tommy had his word was taken and his word was gold. You don’t get that from many if any others.

    Tommy and the boys were the players i fashioned my game on as a kid, and he is right it was a different time and a different game in many ways back then, i have to shed a tear for the loss of an era with Tommy's passing and a period in my life that will always have fond memories and of a time that will never exist again, we love you Tom Thank you for the memories they will live on.

    My genuine condolences to his family. My favourite memory was driving along Wynnum Road, Morningside, and Tommy was driving his seafood truck, with a cigarette in the same hand that held his mobile, and he was eating a chicken leg as well. I still laugh every time I remember it.

    As a youngster I used to watch West’s
    At Lidcombe Oval.
    I’d stand by the tunnel so I could pat Tommy, Dallas Donnelly & Les Boyd as they ran onto the field.
    My all-time favourite Rugby League player and sportsman!!

    From all us Battlers out West right through to everyone who follows the greatest game ever played we say "Thankyou, Tommy". In a game that has had it's fair share of changes over the years you alway's remained the same with your straight talking and values and beliefs. Rugby League has lost a true legend and Australia has lost an icon.Rest In Peace, Cattle Dog.

    Great man, tough as nails, heart of gold and straight as an arrow. My grandpa the year he died, didn't have a lot of his memory short or long term. He could still speak about Tommy Raudonikis and Kevin Ryan all day, he was a life member of the Bulldogs, but spoke about Tommy more than any other. RIP

    A true Aussie Icon - sincere condolences to Tommy's family and friends. As a "Queenslander" I hated Tommy on the field but truly admired his skill, tenacity and his obvious love of the the game - and In later years, I always looked forward to Tommy's commentary and on his spots on talk-back radio. He will be sorely missed by all.

    Tommy will live on as a true legend of the game. He said it the best. The reason people loved and trusted him was he was himself. And thats why we love him. The old era of Rugby League ... when players knew that they would have to truly fight for the win has now passed.
    RIP mate. You will be missed.

    I don’t understand why players nowadays lack the same love and intensity to win. One of the things he got spot on was his want to win and seeing the opponents as your biggest enemy. Unlike blokes today who talk to the opponents mid game and give each other pats on the head. Rip legend
