What a performance from him against the Knights.

Last try for Tols was 3rd of September 2017 - Round 26 vs Dragons.

Todays stats were vintage Tolman though:

65 minutes
1 try
25 runs for 201m
1 line break / 1 line break assist
1 tackle break
24 hitups
48 tackles (3 missed)

He has had a few good outings this year.. it's a shame that a lot of people don't like him mostly based on his hit ups in the opposition 20, when it must be something they practice at training.. He and Napa just went and went all game

Best stat was 1 line break since 2015

Yeah Napa and even RFM punched in some solid stats today. RFM played the full 80 too!

yeah RFM has been strong this year and probably had two of his best games this week and last.. just hope he keeps it up now that he has re-signed

Yeah but it's not really funny tho

Shocking for a frontrower. I bet they re-sign him for 3 years like JJ.

I'm not impressed with guys who have great seasons when its contract renewal time.

It’s funny cause his meant to be the best forward in the game according to des, that’s why des resigned him for 3 more years.

You must have LOVED Anasta. He was the king of being a world beater the year before coming off contract.

The forwards seem to be having more impact with Stevie G's bench rotations.

The main problem is the halves decision making in the last 20mins of the game.

 

[boxer]

I think we have lost the last 20 minutes 2 weeks in a row cause we have been trapped in our own half and can’t make meters.
Now is that cause the halves are making bad decisions?

Or forwards are tiered to make meters which falls on coach as bench rotation,

Or is it the fact that we keep playing the same plays making it easy for other teams to read and they get the upper hand and swing momentum pinning us in our own half and they start there set of their 40.

I reckon last week was a combination of Lewis' poor kicking game and our back line did not make enough metres. Once teams pin us back we can't change the momentum because we don't have strong ball carriers in the backline apart from DWZ.

This will happen again against Parra we need to learn how to swim momentum cause we sure can’t defend the last 20 minutes against Parra.

Have lasting impressions of that hooker that left us last year / Was a dud here since he joined us from the Sharks compliments of Desball and the only time he actually played good was a few weeks before his contract was up.
So I entirely agree with you Sirius. It's the ones that improve every game from the start of the season that we need to consider for contract renewal not that I can recall too many like this in the club this season.

Tolman is a worker and cleans up well but he is generally ineffective with the ball and doesnt dominate enough in defence. Its unliklely he will get better
