Haha I think you've heard the cheer for Fifita coming off - Tolman came on for him and I think did take very next hitupTolman was good against the Dogs but I thought he was fantastic against the Storm
His defense was incredible, he was everywhere and he made good tackles that slowed the ruck - only had 1 ineffective tackle
I think he was played both sides of half time which worked great for him and us
Other players will get the wraps for that win but Tolman made a massive contribution to keep things tight and consistent in the middle
I would say he stepped up with some players out but he didn't have to step up he plays like this every week but even so he seemed extra good. One of his best games for us
Seemed to be some big cheers when he carted the ball up but probs just a coincidence with something else going on at the ground / on the field![]()
I know someone has probs posted the reason in the Cowboys game thread but I haven't been through the whole thing yet
Why was Tolman not in the squad of 19, wouldn't think Jesse C is ahead of him all of a sudden. Covid? Injury?
Our bench was very good on the night and made their tackles but not having Tolman hurt us a bit in the ruck as he's brilliant at slowing down the PTB and not getting pinged for it and brings that steady influence. That was a pretty frantic game
Even when he doesn't play we can count on a Gards' post haha.I know someone has probs posted the reason in the Cowboys game thread but I haven't been through the whole thing yet

Good to see Fitz resting our best player and saving him for games that actually matter
Need our big name star players rested up, fit and firing for the finals
Let the peasants take the hits and make the tackles today
we felt his absenceThis guy should be playing today. Would of had him starting the game with a direct swap for Hunt.
I'm Tolman's biggest fan
