Alex Twal #206

[Needaname]

Yes agree, it is a good headache to have. I might be rushing him into my starting side. In the interim maybe TG should be there to help with the transition.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Yes this guy is a beauty! We'd better figure out a plan now to keep him out of reach of the serial talent poachers.

How good has Twal been for the Tigers. I think he has been one of our best forwards this year.

He was good last year but I think since the World Cup he has gone to another level.

I still claim him as the plodder leader but I am fearful I cant claim him as a good quality plodder going forward… :frowning:

 

[hobbo]

I like him … goes alright , but does he have beast mode ?

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

When he develops an offload or is allowed by IC to start popping balls his game will go to another level. Already has big metres in him strong D possibly could bend the line a bit more but you need to have those types of workers in your team. Definitely not a plodder he has something about him and still very raw for a prop.

 

[balmain boy]

The most underrated forward in the NRL.

Any other bench prop that averaged 100m+ 25+tackles and tackled with 99% efficiency would be in rep calculations.

 

[The-moP]

When he was in the Under20 program with Parra, he was told to lose the off loads and concentrate on make yards .. apparently he had too many loss the ball whilst being tackled issues. Bugger me if I have a strong forward who inclined to offload too much in the tackle and lose it .. I'd be concentrate on getting to keep it up, but choose wisely when you offload the ball.

Just love his hit and stick rate in defence .. keep it up Alex you're doing just fine big fella .. !!

been a pleasure to see him develop this year
no fuss tradesman

 

[hobbo]

One positive from the game

Packer and Matalino were puss again

 

[The_Old_Fox]

I can't work out why they took him off, he was killing them

 

[WT2K]

He needs to start games. Very impressive young forward

[jadtiger]

Never lets the team down i wish he had a few friends in the team who do the same

 

[momo_amp_medo]

On this years form he will be the 1st prop picked next year.
Not quite sure what is happening with our front row ….. seems from the results I read over last few weeks ..... we are (once again) getting dominated up front.
Dissapoining but predict better results for next year. This year for me is “early work in progress” ONLY!

 

[innsaneink]

Some great surges yet again… Reminds me of a good Dave Taylor (meant to be complimentary)

 

[quintus]

He's a goodie and continues to get better each game…. :sign:

 

[AL The Tiger]

One positive from the game

Packer and Matalino were puss again

In fairness, though, both played better than the beast. In fact, Matulino played pretty well in my opinion.

 

[TIGER]

Imo he's been better than Matulino and Packer all season.
Haven't been impressed with Matulino at all even though he was slightly better today.
I'm starting to feel the same about Packer, just not dominating in defense or attack.
