This bloke has been copping it for years because he does not bust tackles like Taumalolo and does not whack in defence like Napa.

Bloke is worth a million bucks to this club. Turns up every week, does the dirty work no other forward does. When it comes to defence, Tolman and Finucane are the best in the league, by a country mile.

A country kid with a country mentality! Play the 80th minute like the 1st. Doesnt have 2 bad games in a season. Mr consistent!

Worth every penny the club is paying him

Love him or hate him, everybody needs a Tolman in their side.

Mbye, Woods and Klemmer are gone. Couple of players left on overs, and Tolman definitely is not one of them

I honestly thought he was garbage too but I think old mate was a victim of Des Ball too. Who would have thought giving grown men freedom to play footy to what’s in front of them could bring out the best in them hey?

I'm not sure if it's just me but does anyone also see that Tolman has a bit more speed and is pushing through with post contact metres?

Yeh ok you want what I'm on lol

You can see the difference when he's not on the field, especially last week when he and Napa were subbed, workhorse.

Hes always had that ability. Hes just very aware of when space opens up in the defensive line

I agree consistent and a much needed member for the younger guys I wouldn’t trade him for anyone really

He's been the teams best defender for years now.

He doesn't break games open but he saves them sometimes. He can get in the way in attack too often but his experience and defensive workrate are extremely valuable, especially to a team that's so young..

Every team needs a tolman.

Our problem is we are probably paying him too much and this causes dissent.

Every squad needs couple of tolmans on 350k a year.

Tolman is usually one of best in the comp when it comes to tackle efficiency. He has a great motor too and never gives up.
My only knock on him is his love for the settler on the 4th tackle. Not sure if that’s a tactic or he really thinks he’s going to barge over!
