Has Twal made it through the banner yet..?

Twal still trying to score in his 1000th game 🤣

I was worried with him out. He is the only player on our team who creates dominant tackles consistently. The only one. Play the ball speed by Souths was out of control throughout this match after 20.

Watch how we get three men in a tackle, decent line speed and good contact only for our players to be pushed back 5metres and attacking player falls on their stomach with tacklers scrambling and then repeated the next tackle so that by the third tackle we're not pushing forward and vulnerable.

I don't understand why they don't have more strength, size isn't the problem. It was surprising how much twal was missed. I go on about him, but I also thought the forward pack was decent. Nope. Need help desperately.

Good news is both papalii and blore are excellent defenders, while Kelman, Luciano and garner are not. We still need more forwards who tackle well.

Looks.like.we missed his defence tonight.

Wasnt just his defence we missed his size and stregth with the ball. He makes meters and gets forward. Musgrove Stefano and Seyfarth combined for 92 meters. Twally should be in Sheensys office asking for a contract upgrade this morning because our pack fell apart without him coming off the bench.

Due to the Joffa HIA Tamou was off for the last 20 when he usally comes back on. Without him or Twal we fell apart in the middle. It was 22-18 after 59 minutes and we lost 44-18.

The other 3 props plus Tuilagi just wernt up to it. Musgrove just isnt a starting NRL prop more a number 5 prop in a squad who plays some weeks off bench . Stef is great but has struggled coming back from injjry this yr and the other 2 are NSW cup backrowers

Scary to see him go down like that, hope you are ok Alex.

 

[Demps]

Thoughts with Twalzy.

Hopefully he's OK.

Horrifying seeing him knocked out during the early stages of game.

Glad he's ok 👍

 

[Speed2burn]

Just badly concussed apparently.

Glad he’s okay

 

[tony soprano]

Nah, hit Burton late and fell awkwardly. Never seen anything like it tbh.

 

[Speed2burn]

missed it was there any foul play ?

Burton dropped a palm on him before Alex smacked his head on the ground

Looked all in one motion and accidental though. Just bad luck

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

missed twal badly
we need him back next game

 

[Lankanflyer10.98]

Apprently letting go Thomas Mikaelle was the right move, without a ready made replacement. Made for good debate at the time mika was let go, wonder how we are going to fare now.

 

[TieDye]

Twal is a massive out for probably the remainder…

 

[momo_amp_medo]

We are clearing the decks ….. should get used to it as rest of this season is done and dusted.
Start getting through Netflix library and catch up on your weekend arvo naps.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Twal sounds like he is gone for the season. Burton should be banned for the same time. Disgusting head knock by Burton.

 

[Telltails]

Extreme decision. Hope Alex is okay.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Twal sounds like he is gone for the season. Burton should be banned for the same time. Disgusting head knock by Burton.

As soon as you put your forearm on a player's head in defence you are attacking the head of a player. What Burton did was disgusting. Kaufusi got away with it as well.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Hope Twal is okay but disagree with it being a deliberate act by Burton. Looked awkward but was just one of those things.
