Could hit the 300 club next season.

Well deserved

We have a good record of turning plod to gold - Snowden, Prior, Feefs. Still working on Woods though

Good luck with woods, but Prior was a a great prop, straight hard, by far the least plodder on your list, Fafita has other issues, not footy related also valuable, but tolmen?
Plod, Plod, Plod, Plod....

Sharks missed 743 tackles in 2020, 95 more than next worst (Bulldogs). Tolman made 95%+ of his tackles. I think it's pretty clear what Tolman has been signed for and its not his devastating offensive prowess.

Agreed, probably the best option they had for pittance, since recovering from cap dramas

Yeah cash would've been an issue also not much else around. Got a prop out injured for a while next year too, Fifita who knows how healthy the knee is. Then a lotta young forwards that could learn a thing or 2 about tackling their ring off. Glad it's only a 1 year deal though.

Don't get me wrong, i rate the guy, but he is a plodder, and i rated Tamou too

Oh I agree completely mate. If that plodder sures up our middle a bit for a year I'll be happy with picking up some plod.

If you have Woods and Tolman on the field at the same time your defensive efficiency in the middle will be a 9 and the plodness will be 11

haha it'll be a balance. Rest of the pack better bring some oompf.

James Roberts -> Wests Tigers officially.

Odd career move. I don't know what there is for him to learn/grow out of all this when second, third, fourth chances come readily, but good luck to him.
