OFFICIAL Alex Twal #206

[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.

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

Agreed. I think he will be on the verge of SOO squad next year. Fittler rates him,

 

[hodgo]

Honestly feel like he'd be a great lock appears to have the enigine is a super efficient tackler, decent ball runner

Mbye says hello

 

[WT2K]

Should be starting and one of packer or mats needs to be on the bench.

 

[TIGER]

He won us the game

The Twal/Sue combination was the difference. We looked okay when those two were on. When the other two props were on we went backwards.

 

[BenzaTiger]

IMO Twal has been our best up front all year don’t understand why he hasn’t had regular time

 

[mike]

His line break, run, step, fend and offload leading to the Mbye try was the highlight of the match.

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.

Huth made 57 tackles , says enough imo

Yeah but his carry’s are like what you’d see from an office worker .

Dont understand how excuses are made for players who appear to have questionable work loads and yet the workers get tagged as the plodders. Not sure who was going to make all those tackles if he doesnt play.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Twal and Sue are much, much better value than Packer/Matulino
Hopefully Mikaele and Clark will follow Twal's steps :sign:

 

[kingbrooks]

The problem with the workers is we seem to have too many. Too many guys who aim to do 40+ tackles and not enough who bend the line.

Is it to much to ask for a player who can do both? Like most other clubs…

Yeah the balance of the pack is out. Big backrowers are desperately needed.

He (Huth) should make at least that many tackles when you consider how slow and ineffective he is with the ball. He really needs to work on his speed in the off season.

That's so good isn't it?

 

[beachtiger]

Seemed to have a lot of speed for a big man and nice step at the end to bamboozle Turbo, was great to see.

 

[TCL]

The look on his face, more so his lack of expression when running and stepping was priceless.

He had his poker face on.

Almost left Turbo in his wake.

Missed the game last night, watched the clip on Twal to Mbye try “WOW”.
