10 to 12 weeks, bugger, that's just about the rest of the season.

Such a shame,. Not just for the team, but for him personally. He’s just starting to turn heads, and I’d even go as far as saying he’s got the attention of the Origin selectors. The injury could have been worse, but it’s a momentum killer.

I am a massive fan of Alex. 100% type player who has a huge motor but I am not sure he would necessarily be on Origin radars as I think his attack is a work in progress. He takes his hit ups but being tall doesn’t really bend the line and doesn’t offload much. Actually, the offload is a bit of a weird one as I he looks to have an opportunity but chooses not to? I thought I read here when he signed that he had an awesome offload as a junior. For mine, he is a bit one dimensional in attack but defensively superb. Is that enough to get an origin jumper?

Depends on the coach. Freddy seems to like impact players on the bench. Passed up Matterson for Sims last year

Maybe Freddy thinks Mattersons a tool and a selfish terd. He seems to rate M Moses so I guess that throws that theory out. Haha.

I just don't get the lack of info from the club .....if it's bad it won't change the time frame

Its sort of shows the different mindsets ...Manly came out on the front foot ...we seem to be being coy about it


Maybe he needs more tests? Maybe it needs time to diagnose? Who knows, what difference will it make? None

They can get the results of a scan in 24 hours

Even if a scan is inconclusive and another 24 hours , worst case Tuesday

Why not come out and say if it was inconclusive ...be honest with your fans

Gotta say mate, you find some weird ways to find reasons to hate on the club.

I dont have a medical degree and i'd guess at best your in your 4th maybe 5th year of yours, my point being we really dont have any idea on the procedures and treatments Twal may or may not have done. I dont think its a conspiracy by the club to withhold info.

Unfortunately I know knees

Pity you didn't know much about BRAINS....common sense would tell you the club want to have a definite diagnosis of all injuries before informing the general public and the members of the results...patience my boy...

Well if they stopped using Dr Dolittle maybe we'd be right

Good on you Freddy. Puts this imbecile back in his place. Hopefully he learns a valuable lesson from this and remembers that we allowed him to excel in our colours and hed be still cutting oranges at the Rorters.

will this be the year he crosses the line....i think it will

will this be the year he crosses the line....i think it will

Just looked up his stats:
0 tries in 66 games - is a lot of nudie runs.
I felt Twal has been around longer than that 66.
Only played 16 more games than Doueihi. Don’t remember that many injuries from Twal.

Wow this thread is from the past but did anyone else read the 1st post again and started to get palpitations...

I'd never cheered so hard for him to score a try, than in that Manly game at Campbelltown(I think). Think he got the ball from Robbie before halfway and passed to Mbye to score.

Every game I scream for them to give it to Twal so he can score ? surely this is the year

Hell yeah. Trying to look up injury reports, and couldn’t find anything. Then I see the date and think wtf. Who bumped this up. Start a new thread.

Twal obviously feels comfortable in his own skin

Standout first half...where the hell did that extra leg drive come from, it was like he stepped up a gear..nearly scored as well

1 of the few highlights in the crapshow

It was noticeable that he was taking a really long run up on his hit-ups. That isn't typical for him. I get the impression he was told to mimic Nathan Brown a bit after watching the way he impacted the game last week.

It was a great run where he hit that hole off (dare I say it) a great ball from Brooks.

The old school way....stand deep and run onto the ball with momentum and speed...or ..stand flatfooted and hope you can get a pass thats not forward before you get creamed by the opposition...simple really...
