Background

Tolar was born in Newcastle, New South Wales.

Playing career

Tolar made his first grade debut in round 12 of the 2004 NRL season against Melbourne.

In 2005, Tolar made 20 appearances as Newcastle suffered a horrid season on the field finishing last with the wooden spoon.[2]

In 2010, in reward for his long service at the club, he was awarded the captaincy of the Newcastle Knights in the Round 14 game against the New Zealand Warriors due to the absence of regular captain Kurt Gidley and vice-captain Steve Simpson.[3]

On 26 September 2011, Tolar announced his retirement from the game after ongoing knee and Achilles tendon injuries. [4]
