Tolman has to be signed up for 4 more years NOW. The guy just continues to impress.

His contract extension needs to be our number one priority.

Hate saying this, but this lad impressed me right from his 1st game.
Big, strong lump of a lad with a heart the size of a basketball.
2012 premiers. Legit.

Ide say he's fairly small for a front rower, more of a Robbie Kearns type. But in terms of the work he does, if he continues to rack up the numbers like he did last Sunday than he'll be our best front rower yet.(In a few years)
Most front rowers aren't this good this young.

Agree - i've been saying he's a virtual clone of Kearns for ages.  He is one of those props, who will have 15-20 hit ups, 30+tackles, and you won't even notice.  It's when he's not there people will say we missed Tolman
Storming our way to glory!

I also agree with SS...reminded me of Kearnsy....hasn't put a foot wrong while at the club works hard and does the small things right. Hopefully he gets a crack at origin, a pay rise and a longer future with us.

For a front rower he's playing years ahead of his age when you consider most front rowers don't manage his work rate until they are 25-28 years old he is doing damn well.

I want to see this kid in a Storm Jersey for a long time to come.

I thought he was one of the most consistently impressive players in our finals campaign last year.

I hope we can get him wrapped up early. He is somebody we should be looking at making a long term addition to the team

Id like him to re-sign but bad time to be playing hard-to-get when Kenny Bromwich done a beautiful impersonation of Aiden in his NYC debut on Saturday.

The issue as always is that he will have to stay for less coin than he can earn elsewhere.  Guys like Smith, Slater, Inglis, Cronk, Blair, Lima have all done this so hopefully Tolman is happy to also do this and play in a consistently successful side.  What the Storm is able to offer and what he is happy to accept are hopefully going to be around the mark. 
Ahhh McGahan; you've done it agahan....
