I get he has a simple role but was prob one of the only players that didn't **** something up

Bloke made 100% of his tackles far beyond the defense of any other Sharks player but was barely given any minutes despite the fact he can handle them easily.

He's not Royce Hunt or Fifita, you leave the Tolman out there to get the most benefit from him otherwise you could consider just playing one of our young forwards instead if it's a limited minutes gig.

I guess Fitz wants impact from his bench forwards but sometimes a reliable mistakes free settling influence can be good for a team as well that was otherwise frantic. Goodness knows we needed help with the defense in that game. We got exposed not just on the flanks but up the middle around the ruck too.

Dale needed less minutes, not more.

Thanks for being a Shark for 2 years Aiden, you let no one down. Sorry it had to end on a sour note like this

Mr Reliable has certainly been under utilised in recent months & had a better season than Dale ..

Thanks for your efforts for the Sharks & hope you can stay involved .

It's been an honour serving with you in the Cult of Tolman sir.
