Official Aiden Tolman Announces Retirement

[foREVerA7X]

King Plodder himself has announced his retirement at seasons end after 314 (as of last weekend) games for Storm, Dogs and Sharkies.

Still an achievement playing 300 plus games in the NRL but has been well and truely past it for a few years now.

 

[Shanked]

him and woods were outdated about 150 games earlier (maybe 100)

Playing his last game against his beloved Dogs, he probably wont be just making up the numbers but nor will Canterbury be.
Part of our defensive brick wall over the years, had a long innings, all the best Aiden.

Was a great clubman for the Dogs and a good servant of the game.

Did his job well, then various coaches either changed his role, or were coaches who didn't get the Tolman on the 4th outa him.

Did his job with Fitzy so it's on our poor coaching the way his last years with us went.

All the best in retirement Tols.

 

[CroydonDog]

All the best in retirement. Think he was a more a victim of Desball than anything else.

 

[Disposable Hero]

Hope he scores a try in his last game!

 

[silva]

Heavily underrated player and needs to be considered in any future immortal considerations

 

[Heckler]

Quick tap Tolman. All the best in retirement. I'm sorry you you were Haslerized as I always thought you were a real scrapper for us.

 

[Dogsville]

on the 5th he will take the ball, dummy, and score under the posts!

all the best Aiden and thanks for the memories

 

[fiordog]

Didn't realise he played 300+ games, great achievement. Got through a heap of defensive work when he played for us.

That said, he'll always be remembered for his offensive prowess. No one ran it on the 4th like you did Tols

 

[Como Dog]

Thanks Aidan for all the years of hard work and non stop effort. All the best in retirement.

 

[senshidog]

222 games for Bulldogs, and retiring in 2022.

Very underrated with his defence and metres made. You always knew what you were getting with him.

Dependency, reliability, and a 4th tackle hitup.

Wishing him all the best in his future endeavours!

 

[Moedogg]

300+ games and 3 GFs. What an achievement, that comes from pure hard work. Some of the most talented players in the game will be lucky to experience finals football or play 200 games.

 

[craigo]

He was a great player for the bulldogs for a long time. Also a very nice bloke. Met him few times

 

[Baby Blues]

Tolman comes across as a guy who will remain in footy when he retires. Could be a future coach for us one day

Definitely a great defender! Always busted his ass every game

Tolman copped way too much flak in his last season's here. Might not be a flashy player, but his effort levels were always among the top few on field.

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

People bagging Tolman have never played a game of league in their lives. Good player that always gave 100% in just about every game
