Twal looks like he been in the gym, his arms are massive.

As long as he's not 'built like Tarzan: plays like Jane'.
He needs to produce this year, last season was very disappointing after a great 2019 from him.

Serious? He was injured a fair bit of the season.

Apart from his injuries, when he was on the park he didn't seem a shadow of the 2019 version.
Hopefully he has a huge year this year.

He started 2020 on fire, they were talking about him being a smokey for the Blues 13. He injured his sternum and really struggled to reclaim that form, didn't help that they rushed him back and he reinjured it in the first game plus had knee issues. He will be back to his best this year. Our forwards are going to belt people.

Can confirm, sternum injuries are something else...I’m not surprised he had a below par 2020

Classic Lebanese gym workout, all arms and chest ? he’s in for a big year. He killed it start off last season before his injuries

The lighting doesn’t do his legs any justice lol

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Wasn't aware of the extent or nature of his injury.
Not bagging the bloke. Hope he runs amok this season.

We should target Scott drinkwater to fill
I’m at fullback this year

Check out last pre-season. That was exactly the same comment made about Twal. Was a bit disappointing throughout last season.

Nick Politis came out today saying rumours of Marshall signing with them were unfounded. Said they were happy with their halves options.

One of the most painful injuries you can have alongside rib injuries, as I’m sure you know. You can’t move or breathe when you crack your sternum

Interest Was reported on Clarkey's League muck-rake-a-thon so not surprised..

I’d do some bad things for a signing rumour right now. Someone make something up so I can run with it for the next week 😂

We are looking at Luai to come in and partner Doueihi in the Halves
Brooks will move to cover hooker until Simpkin is 100% ready
Liddle will likely go to dogs as a trade for Hopoate who will move to fullback for us

Is that a good Rumour

I had a pretty bad ankle injury back in the day, tore all my ligaments and broken in 2 places however with proper rest and physio i knew it’d be sweet in 3-4 months...

However the sternum injuries feel like a constant niggle, you’d think it would be ok, then you’d do contact / weights and it would all come back again. Took probably 6 months of proper rest before it felt good again. I assume it’s similar for Twal

Drinkwater has been through two clubs already I don't think he is looking to join another to be a backup fullback from 22 onwards when he has a starting spot already.

I’m glad. Would have been wrong seeing him play in that ugly strip.

I wonder if Benjis super league deal was a setup as well./.he knows how to work the media.

Another player who copped an unfair bagging.

Yes agree was fairly average last season.
There was also lots of hype how fit he was.
Still had to do the nudity run at the end of the season.
