OFFICIAL Alex Twal #206

[Chunk]

Noticed raiders had Jayden Brailey playing #13 and yesterday it was Daine Laurie.

Twal is an immense loss.
No Sione either.

It's already a hard game, up against the powerhouse that is Penrith.

I'd be selecting:
- Charlie Murray to #13
- Latu on bench
- Ethan Roberts to cover Sione
- Sol Saukura on bench, debut @ backs and backrow coverage.

Yeah, we're no hope this weak so give Murray a chance to shine.

Next week, I think Sione at 13 could work, just focus on tackiling hard and take a few strong hit ups through the middle. Give Roberts a go in the backrow.

Sione is a plodder ,Seyfarth will probably be there ,plodder.The ginger on the bench for reggies is worth a shot

 

[upthetigers]

I think we should give twal a bag of concrete, and sent him out , come to think of it , give all the injured players a bag of concrete.
This has to be our worst season for injuries, we would have been in the top 3 , if all had stayed fit

More fatigue in the game, more likelihood of injuries.

My bad , your right was going if our tipping comp ,

Charlie Murray chance to shine along with Latu. Both can cover hooker as well. IMO Latu should get his chance to start. If they want a bigger body to start I’d assume Seyfarth. Really depends on who they run out against

Please, PLEASE, not Seyfarth Benji!

 

[stevied]

I'd be tempted to go with Latu at 13 and tell him to run, as well as being the link between forwards and backs in the backline sweeps. I'd also have Roberts play an edge with Murray on the bench to cover lock and hooker. I really hope Seyfarth is left out of the 19 altogether with Sakauru taking his place.

 

[Odessa]

Im of the opinion this next month will be very hard having Sam and Twal out . We need to find a way around this. Just picking someone to play 13 and carrying on as usual isnt an option for me. We need to take an alternate approach. I have 2 options

1. Latu plays lock and we spend a few weeks really focusing on our attack. Play fast, upbeat attacking footy lead by Api, Latu and Jock condensing the opposition middle and moving the ball swiftly to the edges. Run teams around with the ball, blow them away.

2. Pick 2 players to cover Twals loss. Start with someone and tell them just give me 20 minutes of everything you have. Hard line speed and aggression. Then replace him with the 2nd one. It means using an extra interchange or two.

If we pick any sort of middle player and just say go be yourself then we are shot. This is a huge loss and we have to try something to win 2 or 3 games over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Who would have imagined this thread at the beginning of the year no one


Good on Twal Superstar and under paid on this year's form

 

[Dr_Ice]

SOO 2 not until June 17

My bad sorry

 

[bbobb]

If we are going to replace Twally with a like for like, we will need some size. Twal always leads the tackle count and takes the fourth hit up for a fast play the ball. I don’t see Latu doing that. I’d start with Charlie Murray who has been playing well in Cup at lock and Latu at 14. I’d probably go with Tony Sukkar as he is being playing longer minutes in cup in the backrow and let Ethan Roberts develop although he had an impressive debut.

 

[tig_prmz]

I think the reason Benji might lean towards Seyfatth is that his weaknesses are known.. not an unknown that you can get the team to make up for it

Roberts or Geyer on the other side, their mistakes are unknown.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

I have a feeling Benji will give the #13 to Seyfarth & make his plan simple ... line speed, contact, line speed, contact ... lead it ... this is your chance! Charlie Murray to come on for him at about 30 mins to do the same plus look for offloads.

Left backrow I anticipate will be Tony Sukkar, purely for his greater NRL experience than Roberts & arguably a little bit safer bet in defence & effort.

Mav Geyer to rotate with Fonua Pole & Royce Hunt with Terrell May.

 

[Blooey]

Considering he's the only person we have listed as a Lock,
What about Kit Laulilii?
Is he still injured? does anyone know what he's been doing?

He hasn't played this year since having concussion.

When things go your way they really go your way.
Panthers looking forward to Cleary Yeoh and To'o back after beating 2nd best....while we are struggling to put a team together

Would make an upset win against the odds oh so much sweeter if we managed to get the two 🫰

If I was standing next to you inns, would have to give you a shake to make sure you're awake, spoiling the in paradise dream.

What a fresh breath of air.

Been our best player all season. Unlucky to sustain injuries when he did, would be in the frame for origin IMO. Same with Doueihi.
