Cronulla Sharks set to throw veteran Bulldog NRL lifeline

By The Mole
an hour ago

CRONULLA are thinking of throwing veteran former Storm and Bulldogs forward Aiden Tolman a lifeline in 2021.

The 31-year-old was expected to retire when Canterbury told him there was no room for him at Belmore next season but still has the hunger to play on.
His manager has been holding secret talks with the Sharks are there is a real possibility he will sign a one-year deal in coming weeks.

The Sharks have question marks over the fitness of props Andrew Fifita and Royce Hunt, who both suffered serious injuries last season.
"We are a bit skinny for depth in the front row and that's where Aiden could come in handy," a Sharks source told Wide World of Sports.

"He is highly respected and has the experience that would help our young blokes."

The Sharks have two spots left on their roster for next season and are currently examining their options.

I'm glad he can get another year or two out of the game. He clearly loves playing.

Glad we didn't sign him though

 

[Dogsville]

Guess he will play half while Johnson is out injured

Happy for him to get another deal I'm just glad it's not with us.

He deserves at least a bit of respect. Love him or hate him he's done more for the club than any of the warriors sitting on their couches giving him shit.

All the best to him in his hopes to extend his career by a few more years. He'll provide some value for whoever picks him up.

 

[Tassie Devil]

Good luck to Tolman. Gave his all for the club and hope he gets a deal there

well said, he never ever took a backward step at the dogs and played his heart every game unlike other players who turned it up

Well said to those who gave him some credit for never turning it up EVER was dependable and a great clubman.If he gets another year good luck to him.
Social media the "home" for cheap shots and backstabbing with anonymity as a bonus feature

Napa can follow him next year

 

[Brizdog]

Rashays will be stoked to get another superstar wearing their jerseys
