I don't hate Twal. Dots his i's and crosses his t's. Just saying with a couple of mill up your sleeve, him and Bird are the obvious upgrades in the squad.

How many does Seyfarth let in ?

They probably should be , but instead get a pub when they retire ..
He’s on the bench for 40-50mins each week, so not many.
With the rising salary cap, paying someone such as Herbie 1.1 or even 1.2 million per season from 2027 onwards is in line with the 800k the Bulldogs spent on Crichton 2 years ago.

Why wouldn’t it ?
Since about 2 weeks ago…he started all year previously

The salary cap hasn’t gone up anything like that in the last 2 years
Not quite.. Crighton would be my choice.

I’d take Bunty Afoa, Douhei, Bullemore/Hassett
Twal does his job and holds his own at a much higher level than Starford IMO. He's bang ordinary and lacks in defence and goes missing far too often in attack

Daniel Suluka-Fifita
Josh Papalii
Felise Kaufusi
Also Farnworth, Nathan Cleary, Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs, Isaiah Yeo, Payne Haas, Liam Martin, Hudson Young and Harry Grant for the hooker bench spot to rotate with Api.

He's been playing fullback in attack the last few weeks and he's also been clearly injured.
Not saying he's the best centre in the comp, but it's strange to pick him out as a root problem when him and Turuva on that edge have been dangerous.
Be nice if you pulled some stats to illustrate your point. He averages over 100m a game. 90% tackle efficiency. 9 tries. 7 try assists. 8 line breaks. 49 tackle breaks from 15 games.
His last 4 weeks running metres are well under his average which is where the perception might come from.

Let's be honest- how much can you rely on a winger to bring the shift in momentum?

Kaufusi I can get on board with for sure.
I doubt he will relocate from Qld at 33, but he provides the ability to shift momentum more than most players off contract.

Hate to say it, but I don't think KPP will be that dynamic backrower we all want.
He's scored 2 tries in the NRL in 38 games and scored 7 in 60 odd games with Wigan.
He's going to disappoint a few.

Yeah I agree with you there. It's always difficult getting QLD players to come to NSW in any volume.
Unless the Cowboys or Broncos pick him up, he may not have much choice though.
He'd do a job for a couple of years for us.

None of that proves he's not slow, lazy and inconsistent....
Having a centre who plays one good game a month is just not good enough

When was the last time he was in the clear and didn't get run down? And I'm not talking about from 10m out
