That's cool, we can agree to disagree.
I don't think Pole's gone backwards. He had a great season last year before the injury and has been perfectly fine this year.

Yep..agree to agree to disagree…
I’m hoping Sione gets the nod start ahead of Pole ….Sione is killing it….

Firstly, Twal is playing out of his mind this year - the best form of his career. He is literally charging the ball up, offloading effectively and often providing a link between the forwards and backs, ala Isaah Yeo. Secondly, I think Pole is actually playing better than at the end of last year. He is running harder and straighter and playing the ball faster. It's a relief to see that he's abandoned the ridiculous hop and incessant stepping before the line in favour of simply belting it up. I was worried about his arm grabbing defense in our first game but he seemed to eradicate it yesterday and tackled well.

What about Sione ? Is he better than Pole now ?

Of course he is! I didn't say Pole was our best forward, far from it. That title, along with Twal, probably belongs to Sione. Tireless in attack and defense and deserves to start.

Interesting to read everyone's praise for Twally now, wasn't that long ago there were calls for his head.
Always had it in him, when he first came across from Parra I thought he was good, his dips in form mainly happened because of injuries/niggles.

Yes Steve …it’s amazing how people’s opinions change when you go from plodding to one of the best players on the team 😂
