He is least of our problem atm but this guy has been a massive problem for many years now, he may be a workhorse but the game is way past his type now, I cant believe that this hasn't been addressed yet, so slow has no impact, and constantly gets in the way and kills momentum

I would say he is just playing the way he is told to. It's a no brainer that he should be no where near the ball after tackle 3 but surely it was Hasler and now Pay telling him to do it. I doubt they would ever get rid of him and will probably retire with us.

The club needs a complete fresh slate.
New coach.
New players.
New vision.
2021 cant come around quick enough.

Tolman & Elliott are part of Pay's leadership group

These guys aren't going any where and are guaranteed starters under Pay

I hope he isn't re-signed because I guarantee he's on way too much money

Tolman epitomises Desball. Hopefully he’s keen on moving to England

his defence is fantastic. He just needs to ease up on the hit ups
And stay out of the way late in the attacking sets

Bloke is a small forward without any of the skills of a small forward, I'd cut him loose asap. Wouldn't be as bad if we didn't have the likes of Smith, Elliott, Jackson etc in the side...

Slowest ever prop
No impact no offload no step no bashing in tackles
Falls over as soon as he touches the defesive line - people carry on about his motor and 80 minutes he can play blah blah blah
At that pace you can play 200 minutes if you want to

We need to offer him to Des who thinks he is the best prop ever

I am hopeful for 2021 if we get a new coach.

We only have Napa (below average price for an origin forward) CHN (decent money), Meany (cheap), Odgen (cheap) and Okunbor (cheap) signed.

We will have plenty of $$$ to spend on recruitment.

We just need a good coach ajd a good recruitment team to make those decisions.

Put him in 9 (tongue firmly in cheek).. He can't pass and he can't run like our other hookers, but he can tackle. Plus at dummy half it will ensure he doesn't get the ball on tackle 4 or 5 any more..

Problem is, with us needing so many players to fill the 30, the player managers will see an opportunity to bump up prices. I just cannot see how needing so many new players in one year can work out succcessfully (but hoping).

Tolman and Foran should leave and free up space for game breakers.

Good defensively, but he’s been around for some time, need some fresh people, the club has gone stale, along with some of our players.

Tends to get in the way too much, but that said makes often overlooked invaluable metres.

That said alot of that is due to hooker feeding him the ball due to poor vision.

Give Nu Brown a shot at hooker. At least he has pace.

Tolman, Hopoate, Foran, Jackson, Elliot are all disciples of Hasler. Most have served us well, yet they all must go imo... especially Tolman.

Id like to see a side selected that is completely based on attacking ability - or at least the most attacking potential within the club atm e
meaney
chrichton
smith
Montoya
katoa
foran
cogger
Jackson
chn
rfm
napa
brown
ogden

Probably have points put on them - might drop a lot of ball - and still lose but at least on paper have some speed and attacking options- better to watch than the plod fest of tolman Elliot hoppa jmk etc. Wold at least be a move further away from the hasler no risk desball philosophy
