We were just so soft in the middle early they were rolling up field. We bought him for middle defence and that is where we were exposed
Official Aiden Tolman
- Thread starter Sir Chadley
- Start date
Tolman probably wouldn't have started though, the damage was done by the time he'd have been on. From there it was just sideways and errors. Dogs were good for like first 20 but we lost because we were **** for 80

I didn’t see all the game but I did see a large chunk of Aiden’s first stint. Switching him and Uele around seems like a master stroke. Tolman looked a lot better starting and Uele had good impact from the bench before his injury.

just wished it had an impact on the result.
but unfortunately didn't
we were overpowered

Tolman was a rock

One year contract wasn't It?
Can we afford not to give him another given Fifita seems finished, and Woods ineffective?

Regardless of what props we bring in and let go I’ve alway been keen to give him another cheap one year deal. Does his job and good depth.
Liking what the big fella is doing. Has not had a terrible game that i can remember.
Tonight's stats
73 minutes
49 tackles 2 missed 92.9% efficiency (teams highest, second highest efficiency if you don't count kennedy who was 2 from 2)
13 hitups 125 run metres
51 post contact metres
0 errors / penalties
Dude's just a warhorse with a no nonsense attitude. no faffing around trying to milk **** just runs hard and doesn't diffuse our backline plays like some of our props do.
Absolute bargain IMO, happy to be proven wrong

Yeah but him and woods rarely get over the advantage line and get dominated in tackles 99% of the time which results in show play the balls and the opposition ready for the next hit up. Those stats really don't show how ineffective he is.
If you want big plays and big impact from your prop you don’t sign the old workhorse on near minimum wage. He’s effective at what he does, he’s just nowhere near a top prop.
Some media pre season predictions didn’t even have him in our 17

Id suggest watching Woods run last night, the Dragons couldnt handle him for some reason

Not many would with the way he played. That's why he so frustrating... The big lug has these game in him every week, he just chooses to coast until the coach is basically saying "show me why you should stay". It's enough to keep someone else out of the team but not enough to give us the impact we need every week. Bet he kicks kittens when no-ones watching, too

Yeah I don't like Woods and want him gone, but he was very good last night.

Tolman generally has one of the faster play the balls for the team, according to the nrl.com stats.
