I would love Welch to come down to replace Tolman. We should offer him to super league or the bench. Pretty sure Oates has signed an extension and Turpin wants to stay and is playing in the halves.
Nasheed here (again),
I see this all the time, just casual mentions of 'offer this or that player to Super League' like we are swapping Scanlen footy cards.
Look Roth, England is one of the greatest countries in the world but for alot of players it isnt that easy to just be traded to the ESL.
Visas and whatnot are a thing, while that probably isnt an issue for Tolman, is for alot of players.
Also Tolman has a family with kids. I saw them on the paddock in his tribute game. He would need to uproot htem and the wife and move to a foreign country on likely equal or lesser pay. Or he will need to leave them behind for a year or two whilst his career peters out since players are largely forgotten when shipped to England. Look at Warburton!
Not that easy to do
Like in my previous post, we should look to do a trade off with someone like Russell Packer. We offer Packer the 450 we give Tolman and let Tigers pay the surcharge. They get a warrior like Tolman to supplement their big bodies and we get a bit of punch up frnt to a player who has a similar style to Tolman otherwise.
Ans the beauty? neither players need to move home, the clubs are NEIGHBOURS!
