Tolman is a very underrated player.
Just don't think him, Napa and Elliot should be the starting middle. Finishing halves of footy with 3 defensive middles makes sense, but not starting IMHO.

Club legend ?
Please.
If hasler and his stats book weren’t here for 5 years, he wouldn’t have played 100 games for us.

He is a good club man who has played 200 games and captained his club. What more can he do.

He isn't a legend, but is a very solid nrl player playing the majority of his time with us. I think he will be remembered as the 4th tackle destroyer more that any thing else with the wider Kennel community.

He has done well in my eyes and should be respected for what he done. 200 games at a club is a great achievement .

Depends on how you define the term 'Legend'.

Tolmans a Great Club man
Always follows the game plan.
You never question his effort after a game, always puts in a 100%
Never been suspended
Never done anything negative to tarnish the dogs name.

Is the term Legend only reserved for flashy players?

Compare him to players who shat on the club like Mason,SBW and Barba who would've certainly gone down as legends had they stuck around.

Tolmans a legend in my eyes.

A prerequisite of legend status is a premiership

I would say yes, although it may not appear so.

He’s in the Darren Britt, Jason Hetherington category.

A club legend? For being at the club so long? Come on now! Great that he's stuck with us but the work legend goes with players like Mortimer, Lamb etc. Tolman? FFS

Nope he’s not a club legend. Congrats Aiden, good guy and a fine achievement but let’s not get carried away. He’s a no frills work horse, probably as much value to the club off field as he is on it. I never saw Eddie Burns play but of all the other 200 gamers I’d only give Lamb and Mortimer legend status. Folkes and Anderson get it when you combine their coaching careers with playing.

Tolman only ranks above Corey Hughes, the rest have him covered

Aiden Tolman is more highly regarded by his team mates than some of the kennel commentators here.
I think that probably speaks volumes of his input and somewhat tarnishes the views of some of the experts
filling in their time expressing their mumbo jumbo on this site.

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.
And 4000 fourth tackle hit ups

Just cause he doesn't stand out every week to your average rugby league fan just watch a bit more closely next time & you will be surprised how good he is

It’s just a milestone that’s all it is, how can you even say Tolman and lamb in the same sentence.

Not saying tolamn a club legend, but ...
So Hindmarsh at eels
Or Gavin Miller, ET, Steve Rogers at sharks
Or Stacey Jones at warriors
Benny Elias, Paul sironen, Wayne Pearce at tigers
Wally Lewis....

None of these must be club legends according to you
Bahahhahah pull ya head in
You don’t have to win a premeiership to be a club legend
