OFFICIAL Alex Twal #206

[on_the_hill]

lol calm down..there's more than likely a legit reason for him not playing. His absence wasn't the reason we lost today.

 

[Brett Thurbon]

Does anyone know whats going on here. Went from one of our best week in week out, to the bench, to ISP. Is he out of favour with the Coach ?

 

[Spacecub]

Coach probably realized he wouldn't put a dent in a gelly

 

[Brett Thurbon]

If that's the case then he wouldn't pick any of our current lot

 

[tigerbenji]

I felt he should of been in the Team last night, His defence would of been very handy & plugged up a few gaps. Has a lot of ability.

I don't understand what you're on about. Have you not been watching our games at all this season? He's been one of our best forwards this year, with his solid defence and I don't know where your getting "he wouldn't put a dent in a jelly"? He offers so much more in attack then Packerlino.

 

[Demps]

Twal > the others

Have you been watching - that is the question.

Great defender, no dispute - but a better forward than packerlino?

Maybe some time in future - certainly not now.

I really think Twal was a beast tonight and the Tigers' best player. I like the way he runs hard and straight, rarely taking a backward step, while his barnstorming run, that set up the Mybe try, revealed the amount of potential he has. Also, does anyone notice the number of times he snuffs out the opposition's attack with critical tackles? Along with Sue, I think he's our most damaging runner at the moment.

I wish that he would develop an off load.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

I wish that he would develop an off load.

I did read he put that away. Besides, what he does is with much greater urgency than most of our forwards except for Packer and Lawrence.

 

[hobbo]

He was great tonight ..

Not a beast .

Twal is a damn good player. Why Eiso and the likes get picked ahead of him has me stuffed.

Exactly. Beats me why Eiso is even in the team. Zero impact running the ball.

He covered many first up misses by team mates which had the potential to result in tries. Until his team mates learn to make their tackles stick, we need him.

 

[Sabre]

Would have been handy last week

That’s where Cleary fails imo !

Like playing Lawrence off the bench last week .

 

[Coasttiger]

Twal still needs to learn to do it every week.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Twal is a massive player and will get better and better should be one of the first picked each week.

In a couple of years he could be anything, I just hope that we keep him.
