Twal is a role model for our young forwards. He has refined his game and is aware of his role in the team. I wish we had a few more of him in our team.

I'm starting to put this under Ellis' 2010/11 performances as a forward.
Not there yet, but if he continues this for the whole year, imo, it could be the best year by a forward in our colours.

Not just the amount of work he gets through, the quality is top tier. He took a number of runs last night which changed the momentum of that set.
And his line speed is what I would expect from an origin player. He is the reason we are making so many more metres than other teams. Any time someone tries to run at or near the markers, he is there to smash them.

Unfortunately a likely out for 4-6 weeks is he has done his medial as Benji feared

It was Seyfarth that fell/tackled into him that caused the injury. Twal gave Seyfarth a gob full when he was down on the ground being attended to as well

He/ Benji have reinvented him into a mini colossus. He took some real punishment on Saturday but never flinched and it was only friendly fire that got him.
He will be sorely missed while he’s out coz his workload and influence will be hard to replicate.
Just when we think things are getting better ie players back from injury, another one goes down.
Next man mentality must be the call v Penrith.

Seen that, thanks Seyfarth. Taking out our gate keeper in the middle who smashes anyone that runs at him. Massive loss

Im of the opinion this next month will be very hard having Sam and Twal out . We need to find a way around this. Just picking someone to play 13 and carrying on as usual isnt an option for me. We need to take an alternate approach. I have 2 options
1. Latu plays lock and we spend a few weeks really focusing on our attack. Play fast, upbeat attacking footy lead by Api, Latu and Jock condensing the opposition middle and moving the ball swiftly to the edges. Run teams around with the ball, blow them away.
2. Pick 2 players to cover Twals loss. Start with someone and tell them just give me 20 minutes of everything you have. Hard line speed and aggression. Then replace him with the 2nd one. It means using an extra interchange or two.
If we pick any sort of middle player and just say go be yourself then we are shot. This is a huge loss and we have to try something to win 2 or 3 games over the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Noticed raiders had Jayden Brailey playing #13 and yesterday it was Daine Laurie.
Twal is an immense loss.
No Sione either.
It's already a hard game, up against the powerhouse that is Penrith.
I'd be selecting:
- Charlie Murray to #13
- Latu on bench
- Ethan Roberts to cover Sione
- Sol Saukura on bench, debut @ backs and backrow coverage.
