They got beat, I think, the week before the grand final after winning the minor premiership.

I know that.

Or 78.

Anyway, but the other part to it is...

Tommy got Newtown to a grand final.

So he's a club legend for that because they hadn't won a grand final since 44, 45 with Frank Hyde.

So how did he go from West to Newtown?

Singo got him over.

John Singleton got him over because he needed someone to change things at West.

Newtown.

The guru.

And he had an ownership in Newtown.

And he was bankrolling, and Newtown were on their knees.

They were struggling to stay alive.

And Singo went and got Tommy and spoke to Tommy about getting him over.

And this is when Wes lost all those players.

So Tommy and Graham O'Grady went to Newtown, and Ray Brown, John Dorrie, and Les Boyd all went to Manly.

So Wes got decimated in one year.

But the great story about Tommy was in 1980 when he got there, they were, and they were, UTM were the lovable losers.

They were like the, you know, them and the Bears were always competing for last spot, so to speak.
