OFFICIAL Alex Twal #206

[Kelce68]

In 2027, the projected salary cap is $11.7 million.

On average, that equates to $390,000 per player.

Twal has just resigned for an estimated $400,000 per year.

So this new contract will be a smidge above an average value contract across the Top 30.

This is unequivocally a 'Rowdy-type' deal and will spread next year's salary out a little too. This will bring his value back in line with a consistent, number 3 or 4, bench prop.

It’s just another example of piss poor planning and execution.

We need to entice Twal into the ring with Pengai Jnr over the off-season so we can throw him in the back of an Ambo and medically retire him.

Come end of 2025 …people will he crying that he has another 2 years left… like Nofo now

 

[BAGNF05]

Every club needs A Twal, not 26 of them.

Time to sign some attacking ability.

 

[jadtiger]

Being reported that his salary will go from $525,000 to $400,000 in new deal.

Good value for him, in my opinion.

At 400k i have no problems with it

Fulton is a myth.

So is Morris.

Fulton is a myth.

really? he just got a front rower coming into his best years to take a $125k a year paycut. nothing mythical about that.

Reads to me like Twal tested the market, got no interest, and the club was in a position to low ball him.

Every club has context around their roster. We're no different and there's a novel to explain the past and present situation.

Fulton is simply working within the contextual constraints on this club as of this moment. The fact that his moves are all generally low-key and underwhelming thus far for the most part (bar the Fainu's and the extensions of Bula and Api) is a good thing in my opinion.

He is doing the opposite of Ivan, who let the funds burn a hole in his pocket and felt he needed to buy the club out of strife.

I'm all in on the opposite approach this time around.

 

[Oldman]

I am glad we have held onto Twal,
A good bench middle replacement who does his job, He is not in the 17 to be an impact player.
Twal & Klemmer are our stat,s forwards doing the hard yards with not much recognition.

TWAL TOP TRY SCORER 2024!

If he is it will be the most boring football we have ever played including Taylorball

 

[Muffstar]

Just another plodder signed way too long. Twal and Noffo laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Twal has got to find the fire in the belly switch

 

[Vicious]

Twal is much quicker than many think and has a big engine.
Could a transition to an edge back rower suit him ?
