Best post of 2022 ?
I'm curious..What is the go with him..
Was our Mr reliable big minute middle .that allowed the more impact forwards to rotate...in all 3 games he has been used for minimal minutes and 2 stints
Hasn't really provided any impact off the bench.. defence while solid hasn't had any sting at all allowing both PCM and opposition to offload..
Is he carrying injury..?

Or from reports here, tired of carrying the thing between his legs.

Twal is a one long stint player either from the start for all or most of the game or he comes on after 20 and stays on. If he’s injured and can’t do that there is no point to him playing.

Very surprised. I wanted him to be our skipper this year.
He had 2 kick returns off dropouts and I've never in my life seen someone run with less intent. It was embarrassing.

Not even prop can be Payne Haas.
He's important to our squad, no nonsense worker front rower.
Barely noticed him on the field last night.
Madge has misused his for too long, playing him at lock and what not.
He's a solid front rower with super strong defence. Him and Stef are our starting front rower for the next few years for mine.
Tamou was great last night but he's done after this year. Madge needs to balance the forwards and most definitely the Bench better.

Terrible performances week in and week out this season. A worker type forward who at best allows the other forwards to play shorter minutes, plays decent defense and offers very little with the ball in hand. He is far from his best.
He doesn't make many mistakes or give away penalties. That is the only reason he keeps his spot.
Seyfarth is already heaps better than him.

He's just average. That's it. He's solid but can only be on the field when we have impact forwards as he's one dimensional in every facet of the game
He’s going to disappoint you mate - if he’s ever starting front row… we’re not going anywhere.
No nonsense toiler, should never be starting anything..,
He might make a few tackles - but he’s never hurt anyone.
Madge is not the only one used him at lock… he works / trains hard and is a good bloke so they all found a spot for him every week….
Sometimes - you have to actually be good a football as well.
See this is our problem. He is solid for us, he isn’t a standout for us on any side of the fence and he wouldn’t make it in the top 17 for a serious team.
I have never seen a prop his size and body shape get pushed backwards more than Twal does. Sure his defence is solid but thats it. The rest of his game isn’t good.
His style of play is more suited to a lock but he isn’t built to be a lock atm. His style of play just isn’t cutting it as a prop & hasn’t for a while.

Outside that, he’s ressies captain
Bench prop at best - even then, that’s only if we’re stacked full of impact off the bench, then he can be carried…

No idea @Geo , but there is no point playing him for 20 minute cameos.
His strength is his consistency in output over a long stint and the fact that he sticks, even if he doesn't sting. Honestly I can't drop any reasonable defenders given our recent history, but if he is playing minutes 60-80 we are better off trying someone else.
