[I]Tom's manager Sam Ayoub:[/I] [INDENT]“When the Titans and Roosters came after Tom, Wayne Bennett was a massive factor in keeping Tommy at the Broncos. I remember the Titans tried to move heaven-and-earth to get Tom. He was on a basic Broncos scholarship in 2018 and the Titans‘ recruitment people saw Tom playing in the local area for Tweed and wanted to sign him."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“In one game for Tweed, they scored 70 points and Tom scored five tries and had six try assists, everyone in the Gold Coast region knew he was something special. He attracted interest from the Roosters as well. It was around the time of the Queensland under-18s game and we set up a meeting with Tom‘s parents and the Roosters and they sent Andrew Johns along to talk to them."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“Unfortunately, the Titans were struggling at the time and they weren‘t the club they are today. It was a few months before Mal Meninga came on board and Justin Holbrook hadn’t been signed as Titans coach. But Tom is a loyal kid and he really looked up to Wayne Bennett. His parents were inspired by what Wayne told them and he has a knack of being influential in keeping players at a club, so it was a coup for the Broncos.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
