Thomas Waldrom Full interview | Josh Kronfeld hunts down rugby cult...

Josh Kronfeld hunts down rugby cult hero Thomas Waldrom

[Bones]

@mikedogz still remember heading down to preseason at Avalon as I knew Scott was going down. Thomas came along and played in the trials, think it was against Upper Hutt, he was 15 and sitting down fully grown men.

We know where he is, but I thought this was an excellent interview:

Sad to hear.

Kelleher was a bloody exciting player and always came across ok to me in interviews albeit definitely dumb as a sack of hammers.

Sounds like he’s a fucken arsehole on the piss as many people are sadly. Not good for someone of any age but even worse as he’s approaching his late 40s.

Kelleher is one step removed from Zac Guildford.

[Tim]

@Frank More violent offences, so arguably worse. This is his third trial, IIRC. A real piece of shit.

I knew his brother who, from what he used to say about Byron, would think you are being very generous.

Fucken hell, he looks even more terrifying than in his top level playing days.

Still amazed he never got capped, he was a monster
