OFFICIAL Alex Twal #206

[Nelson]

@PabloX I think we need to think seriously about momo. I thought he finished last season strongly, considering his age and minimal NRL experience. I think he has it in him to be a very strong NRL centre. If his first half of the season is solid, I say definitely re-sign him.

I think we can do better than Momirovski personally..

Really? He strikes me as a very smart footballer, scored eight tries in 11 games, to parallel that Thompson and Marsters only scored 1 try more than him and played 22 & 24 games respectively.

He's only young and is just starting out. I agree that if he starts the year well I'd certainly look into extending him.

Yeah he's first centre picked at the moment for mine. He's not particularly big and he's not particularly fast but at the end of the day he's been very effective. Regularly breaks tackles, makes big metres, scores tries and is generally a decent defender...plus he's coming along as a goal kicker. He's a cut price Lomax but slower.

I could well be wrong (I often am) but that's the way I see it. He doesn't have much size and he's not particularly fast. But I thought his goalkicking late in the season was excellent and he did find the line as you say. Anyway, let's see how he goes. I hope he proves me wrong.

Yeah fair enough Avo, we all have our opinions. Not necessarily saying you're wrong, there's certainly better centres out there at the moment than Momo. However he's only young, still inexperienced and while not being the flashy type he does the little things right and quite well, adding to that he can score tries and kicks well. I think he's shown enough to persist with.

I'd be waiting to see how he goes next year before extending aswell.

I agree. But if kicks on early and it's apparent they will need to lock him down.

Trent Robinson didn't care about losing Matterson, but he said that he didn't want to loose Momirovski.

Momo has shown a freakish ability to score tries in heavy traffic. That's not as easy to put a value on compared to size and speed but as he is young, one of our best goal kickers and does everything expected of a centre, I think he is a big asset to the team.

I also like how he came back from some mistakes last year, seems to be mentally tough.

Yeah his first game back after spending a number of weeks in state cup was bloody poor, Madge persisted and he had a garbage first 40 in the second game and then a switch flicked and he never looked back. Was very impressed with his resilience.

i love his left foot, really dangerous

he has progressed to be able to read the game really well, this was shown in the game against the saints when he got the intercept and nearly another (if it went thru the hands instead of rolling along the ground, thanks to a bit of luck)

I did congratulate Al already .....

No Parra lover just able to distinguish between hate and reality ....Parra will go close ....I don't like it ..but it's probably going to be a reality ...same way us making the 8 with no major forward addition will be damn near impossible

They were the social media images that caused quite a stir as Wests Tigers players returned to training on Wednesday this week.

First day back looking like... 😳💪 pic.twitter.com/xkgRSj5Cua

Wests Tigers prop Alex Twal — who was already one of the fittest big men in the competition — returned looking as shredded as ever and seemingly primed to deliver his best season since debuting for the club back in 2017.

Living at home with his family throughout the game-wide isolation period, the Lebanon international took full advantage of a quality home gym set up and a protein-packed diet provided by his mother's home-cooking skills to return to the club's new elite training facility in prime physical condition.

“The boys are really excited to be back and there's definitely a real thrill around the place," Twal said. "It's definitely good to be back.

“It’s a little different coming back in as it’s something we’re not used to but hopefully it’s not too long before we can get back into our normal training routine so we’re working on our craft and skills.

“We’re making sure we know all our plays and our movements are right and ready to go for our first game — whenever that is."


Twal said the buzz of returning from break, coupled with the side's arrival in a brand new training facility as Concord Oval undergoes a much-needed redevelopment, was noticeable throughout the squad.

“A few of the senior players and Madge said a lot when we returned just get everyone back on track,” said Twal. "But you can just tell that every single one of the boys have been eager to get back in to it.

“With our new training facility here there’s an extra bit of buzz around the place and I don’t think any of the boys are short of motivation.”
