Tom
Raudonikis was a great player and as tough as they
come. The person got it wrong regarding Tommy in the 2nd test
in 78 at Bradford. Jim
Mills nutted Rod pReddy
and accused him of biting. I don't think Jim could reach down
that far.
What I do remember is the blue that Tommy and Steve Nash had at a scrum
in the same series. If my memory serves me they both got sent off.
The only time I can remember Roger
Millward getting sent off was when playing against
Australia; not a test match. Again, I think it was the same
year. However, Roger was really pee'd off because he said Tommy
laid in to him and he was just trying to get away from all the
blows raining down on him.
Heard another good story about the 78 Tour, don't know if it's
true. Apparently the Oz tourists had some wrestling matches
as part of training, and that they sometimes got out of hand
with a bit of claret showing. The two strongest in these comps
were Tommy T and Bob
Fulton; the two halfbacks.
What I'm certain of is that the Australians wouldn't have won that
series without Fulton and Raudonikis. They were absolutely terrific and led
from the front. The rest of the players were very inexperienced and had
few caps between them.
Finally, I'm sure I saw in Rugby League Week that we used to get from
Oz, that TR did indeed say he was looking forward to playing a hard game
after the tests in '79.
