Not really fussed myself....that sais there seems to be a lot more going out the exit door thean those entering
As long as we improve with his replacement...maybe Benji wants a sidestepping flick passing front rower

It would be hilarious if he starts scoring on a regular basis after leaving.

I think problem is they play well in a contract year
Contract year is next year.
He has improved his attacking game ( and passing game) so well this past year being allowed to do so.
Plus he hardly misses a tackle and puts the effort in.
The type of player every team needs.

When do you cut a forward?
I mean guys like Russell Packer played their heart out the last year they were at St George, likewise a few others. Tamou clearly has run his course....
Yet there are guys like Gallen and JWH who just keep firing. I mean JWH was up for Renewal and almost being shopped around 4 years ago. No one here (including me) wanted him, yet he would have been an awesome buy in hindsight.
Maybe they are right to look at Twal and go "you have hit your peak", it's not a good idea to renew people at the top of their game... Particularly as they may dip and we have juniors coming through.
That said, with Twal and Joe O we see two players that are "heart of the team" type players. Ofcourse Twal is going to ask for more money and we have locked up our money in Bateman, Klemmer and Paps...
Do we cut Pole? No we cut Twal... just like we cut Joe O...

Maybe its not true. Maybe money doesn't talk. Locked up or not. I.e. Dolphins, Storm, Panthers, and about 12 other teams
I’d say in his managers eyes.
Twal puts in 100% every game regardless of whether it’s a ‘contract’ year.
You either have a spot for him or you don’t.
I will be very very angry if Twal is forced out.

So Keppie has been signed by Southe ?
So he is staying for 2024 ?

So who is staying?
Question?
Statement?
Benji don't want Twal. It seems... But wants Keppie... Who south's also rate
I understand its just about the amount he's being paid. I believe he's been told his next contract won't be as much as he is currently on. Fair enough. I don't think he's being forced out. If he can find better then he's free to go. Sounds very fair. For the record, I hope he stays. Does a job.

Despite all the chat, does any other club really want him ?

Well … it is the Twal thread right… ?
Telegraph saying Keppie signed with Souths …
I thought there were rumours here that Keppie was coming in and Twal on the way out to Manly or Dogs…
I know that most things that get posted on this forum turn out to be true right?

Wouldn’t that depend on whether he wanted to or not ? There’s a lot of assumption in your comment ? ( but you may be right, I don’t know).
