He's only the 12th player in club history to play 200 games for us. He joins these players:

Hazem El-Masri
Steve Mortimer
Terry Lamb
Steve Folkes
Chris Anderson
Luke Patten
Steve Price
Andrew Ryan
Josh Morris
Corey Hughes
Eddie Burns

Credit to him he's done well. However he isn't anywhere near the people on that list

Absolutely.

And just the 3rd prop forward in our history to crack 200+ games for us.

Proper warhorse. I think only his team mates will truly understand the extent of his value to a team.

Nope. He's just not good enough to be considered a legend.

He's a toiler. No legend in my eyes.

Good luck to him getting to 200 but absolutely no chance would I consider him on the level of those others mentioned.

Mortimer, Lamb, Folkes and Tolman lol.

It truly is the coaches plan . I looked at the riff and saw one of their forwards constantly run decoys but was never given the ball on the line and the riff basically had one or two forwards also taking the 4th

Off course he is. He’s a great clubman and busts his arse week in and week out for the blue and whites

He must be congratulated for reaching 200 games for the club although everyone in that list as either played for Australia, or won a premiership and I feel maybe Tolman may not achieve that. I will give him that he puts in 100% effort every game and does a lot of ‘1%’ that his teammates could follow

The legend was the ex skipper handing him his game jersey and delivering an impromptu pre game speech to the team

On ya Bobcat!!

It’s a great milestone he achieved and credit to him. I think he’ll be remembered as a work horse surrounded by better forwards but not a club legend, maybe if we won premierships in 2012 - 2014.
But even then just compare him to the Dogs of War forward Pack from 2002-07 I doubt he would have made spot those teams.
