I heard this powderpuff is staying put
There is still a chance before June 30 if there are countless season ending injuries in the forwards somewhere out there.No one wants him.
Telling...
We need him to play the same way he played against Canberra last yr... The same game Hoppa ran close to 300m and Tolman was basically the only forward we had. He was an animal in that game and that's what we need every week.He’s on Deanos bench. That’s telling enough. Hopefully he’ll be in reggies soon if he doesn’t lift his attacking game.
Bro it's ridiculous seriouslyThe relentless hate for tolman is fucking rediculous!!! Its not his fault he was offered a contract. It was not his idea to be tackled on the 4th every time. And it was not so long ago he was mentioned as a possible SOO player.
Him and graham had a lot to do with us being a solid defensive team. Sure we need to improve our attack from last year, and we have. But i think that without tolman and graham in the middle we are defensively weaker.
I posted in another thread that i think it would be good to have tolman at lock to soak up the initial onslaught and then bring fualalo to replace him after 15-20 mins, and play out the half. He can then enjoy the half time spell and come back on for the second half with tolman closing out the last 15 mins.
Not so long ago since he was mentioned as a possible SOO player? Wtf are you talking about. He was mentioned by some people years ago. Anything over a year ago is IRRELEVANT.The relentless hate for tolman is fucking rediculous!!! Its not his fault he was offered a contract. It was not his idea to be tackled on the 4th every time.

Come on mate, your a smart guy. I know your not a tolman fan, but he does add something to our team. When was the last time you saw a prop forward take a hit up from dummy half on the second tackle?? Our last game. Tolman. He is not as useles as you all suggest. He just doesnt add the razzle dazzle that everyone expects.Bro it's ridiculous seriously
Until tolman proves the nay sayers wrong he's always going to cop shit.
The fact remains that no one has seen tolman consistently dominating in a tackle or a hit up
He gets monstered by the new style of forwards today, ie big, strong and mobile
It's all in tolmans hands to shut us up and he hasn't for over 4 seasons.
How old are you mate? Is 3 years really such a long time??? Im not suggesting he is an origin player, especially now. But he seems to be the major scapegoat for desball. He cops it more then anyone.Not so long ago since he was mentioned as a possible SOO player? Wtf are you talking about. He was mentioned by some people years ago.

Yes 3 years is a long time. Who was Taumalolo 3 years ago? Not much... He cops it because he is a 1 dimensional players that isn’t valuable or suitable to the game today.How old are you mate?

Not an ideal situation but seeing that no one will take Tolman off our hands the only place he has in the team is an 80 minute 13.Bro it's ridiculous seriously

I agree. Some people on here think the NRL is like fantasy Coach. Tolmans not doing it for them so lets trade him. He has a contract and I would rather keep him than pay someone else to have him. He doesn't dominate hit ups but is tidy in defence and can play 80mins. I'm not sure about him on the bench as to me they are meant to be impact players where Tolman is more of a safe solid play all day forward you can depend on when our flashy tough guys get gassed. I know that will not win you any man of the match award but I am guessing his team mates like him around.The relentless hate for tolman is fucking rediculous!!!
