At the start of last season prior to his injury, Twal produced an excellent step to beat a defender and got into space. I recall him doing this a few times, after his injury he did not try to step - not sure why! Like all good players he is still developing his game and could do well at 13 with a good injury free season

I'm looking for a bit more in a lock than he has shown thus far.

I guess the Tuki offload to Simpkin, without an "s", that led to his try in the Manly trial, was just a throwback to his Rugby days when you HAVE to release the ball when tackled? :+1:

From what it sounds like, Twal's role in defence will be a lot different to last year. In years gone by, lock cleans up the ruck, makes and helps avoid the half- breaks.
This year the hooker and lock will work very close together with back-to- back efforts. Every tackler will have to work very hard to get to marker. It will be a failure for Twal whenever he isn't able to get to marker (same with Liddle). Don't think we will see many big tackles this year.

In the only charge from Sunday's matches, Wests Tigers forward Alex Twal is facing a fine after being issued a contrary conduct charge.
The incident in question took place in the first minute of Wests Tigers win over the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Can only assume Twal accused him off a Grade 1 crap haircut..

All I could see was that he may have tried to straighten Young's dreds - or maybe trying to remove a bindie or two?

Geez i just went back and watched that - i doubt young even felt his hand on his hair. Game is so soft these days.
Pull someones hair, How stupid can some people be??
There's 24 odd cameras at every game and nothing gets missed.

Forgot all about that.
Said to the young bloke at the time, "Did he just get his dreads pulled?"
Bit of a non event really unless Bellyache can turn it into some sort of career ending wrestling move.
