Plural is fine given the structure of the sentence, even if he only had the one. Didn't think I'd have to get into this on a Sunday morning!

For the record I think Tolman has been great for us. Hard not to notice the missed tackles (missed tackle?) creeping into his game though.

The main point I was making is that, in my opinion, one incorrect play the ball is not evidence that a player is past their use by date or shouldn't be re-signed.
You've now added missed tackles. If that's correct, then I agree, it could be a sign that he's passed it.

I should add that I think he's still one of our better defenders though.

Fair enough. Like I said, I like him and think he offers value, particularly on the contract he's on. Just don't think we need both him and Fifita moving forward. If we don't play our young blokes someone else will.

Ready for the glue factory.

3 missed tackles, 2 ineffective and 2 handling errors…..
No line breaks, line break assists, tries or try assists

Cool mate. That's a reasonable argument.

I'd say keep Tolman and give Fifita a non-playing job in the club so he is still involved the players.

He is the spiritual leader of the team and it very evident in the shed videos after the games.

Our pack is definitely short a raging bull, particularly when Royce is injured and BHU is on the path back from injury.

Be nice to sign one for next season.

And make Hunt watch so he understands he can't be making those rookie errors in the first 15 mins like forcing the offload or holding on too long in a tackle

This. I hate starting the games on the back foot because of those errors.

At least he didn't get charged and suspended for an accidental head clash.
