Surely his 2 year mission in the prime of his footy life and his stance on Sundays to date proves his commitment to his faith. No one could doubt that.

But business is business now and he knows it so sign him up to play Sundays and get on with it.
he was getting paid by Parra during those 2yrs off

Gee he chimes nicely in the backline. He's playing pretty well tonight for Tonga.

He was signed to a contract but only getting peanuts while he was away. They kept in contact around exercise and diet but that was all.

already thrown a couple of cutout passes and one for a try. Is tackling anything that gets through and running well.
I reckon he is just as good and reliable as any other full back. One weakness is his turning circle/ directional change. If he can play fulltime, he will fit in well.

Tolman gives his heart and soul every week a great club man,and u have to remember parramatta paid half his wages last year because of ongoing court dispute,would b a good buy if he produces more consistent football.

As I said previously keep him on chump change. But if he starts making demands or has any silly ideas of being the million-dollar-morman-part-time-footballer then let him walk.

I'm with you
I am all for signing him

But the no Sunday thing has to end.

What worries me with hoppa is how his form goe from very good, to slowly average without much notice.

I worry he is playing well at the moment to earn a new contract.
And that form will diminish once a contract is obtained.

On current form,
With playing Sunday's
I'd happily offer him a handsom contract.

But

Reality is
That form will drop away,
So based on that risk, as has been proven with hoppa over the years, I'd reduce his contract slightly

And no sundays
Well
That should not be on the table at all

He has a better allround skillset than Dugan , sucks that he feels the need to be this religious crusader..

He signs a contract and play Sundays , he will cost us more which will affect salary cap he will be on full time contract, no Sundays means he will be on less , part time contract sign him on a second tier contract lol , we will have more money in the cap, catch my drift? or do you want to spend a MILLION on another fullback, keep him and spend the money on a half or maybe 2 halves lol

He should be praying for a new job offer that is full time, because you simply cannot be a part time NRL player anymore.
Or go join the queue at Centrelink.

Scroll the draw.
Thanks Hoppa, showed great leadership last night, what do the dogs have to do to get him to change his mind?
Oh well I respect his decision, its his life.
