The stats read 5 missed tackles which is quite surprising, doesn't take away from a good game, he was everywhere. bloke is a warrior , closest thing we have had to a Gallen
the try saving tackle on holmes was a great effort and copping that HIA at the end prob saved our game haha

I think he actually enjoyed getting his head busted last night. Happiness turned to disappointment when it meant he had to leave the field.

Had another big game on the weekend against the broncs. Solid centre depth as well
Should be made full time captain, not just fill in for when Woods is having a breather.
Maybe even take the C off Wade when he is back in the team, take some pressure and responsibilities off his shoulders, let Wade get his body and game sorted even just for rest of the season or a few games or something. Let Tolman take the media duties, rev the boys up behind the posts, manage the refs ect.
Hope we give Tolman another 12 months contract - bloke is an asset to our organisation. Whatever vision Fitz has for this team I think Tolman can add some value even if it's just for keeping some experience around in the pack - hope that isn't overlooked
Alot of respect for Aiden

Are you Tolmans manager?

I don’t mind keeping Tolman but as depth.

I have always liked him as a player. People want to blame him for the Bulldogs being ****...well they still suck.
He is a good honest hard working prop. Would be happy to take him for another year.

no just his lover
he was the only good thing about the dogs for years - he had to do the Gallen and take every hitup and over play his hand as prop halfback only cause the rest of his team was that useless - this brought some errors and questionable decisions into his game. But like Woods who also came from the dogs, in the Sharks pack these players have been able to simplify their game and just knuckle down and do their own job and leave the ball playing to others
I reckon Tolman wouldn't give us more than 1 error every 2 games. he doesn't miss many tackles and when he does they are rarely a critical one that leads to a try against us. yes his hitups dont bring that much impact but the important thing is he takes plenty of them conserving other players energy and freeing them up. every teams needs a workhorse like him, he has done some way to filling the gallen void. He might be a discount Finucane or whatever but that isn't necessarily a bad thing
there's nothing controversial about him either which does not hurt
I'm sure that a lot of his weird crouching hitups in some games are intended to bring a fast play the ball too.
I can't think of any other reason for them apart from him maybe suffering from some neurological disease.

I really want us to keep this guy next year. The leadership he is offering our young pack at the moment has been essential. He’s playing his arse off at the moment.
43 tackles for 1 miss. 1 linebreak. 20 runs for 146 metres. Busy fella.
