Sure is an upgrade on Tagatese, to the cost of about $250K more.

I agree. I think it's too early to state that Twal is better than Ava. He might be but he might not be.

Ava is bog average and has also shown a lack of football brains this year. There are about 30 better front rowers in the game. I would prefer Latu, Alvaro, Matagai, Lawrence and loads of others over him.
How many 100+ metre games has he punched out?
Is a bench forward at best

I have a good feeling edwards will be dropped to make way for twal 1hr before kickoff

Agree.
He's OK and that's about it - couldn't even connect with the punch thrown on Robbie.
Twal is definitely better.
Twal is not better at this stage. We need to stop being biased about players who leave us. That said the Sharks are paying him 300k more p.a.
I like Twal and believe he is way better as a rookie than Ava was and he looks the better prospect. Twal needs to hit the Gym over the offseason and come back at around 115kgs in the next few seasons. He is a tall lad and too light at 106kgs.

Looks to be a very smart purchase. I wouldn't expect him to bulk up too much over the offseason. He doesn't seem to have that sort of physique where he can just stack muscle on. I think if we can get him playing around the 108kg mark, then that's probably ideal for him. I like the fact both Twal and Eisenhuth have good motors on them, defend well and don't have any trouble making 12 hitups per game.

The guy is a machine. Another 100m+ game off the bench, and something like 130 tackles made in his NRL career for 1 miss. He'd be our rookie of the year if he had debuted earlier in the season.
Laughable to state he should put on 9kgs in the off season. 1-2 more and he'll be sweet. He needs to not be too heavy in order to play big mins and have the agility in defence. He's already replicating Woods in a number of ways and is a superior defender to him.

Every club in the NRL were looking at Alex except Parra.

I can see why because it is the way he goes about his play with the minimum of fuss but maximum effectiveness which is so impressive.
