I'm curious..What is the go with him..

Was our Mr reliable big minute middle .that allowed the more impact forwards to rotate...in all 3 games he has been used for minimal minutes and 2 stints

Hasn't really provided any impact off the bench.. defence while solid hasn't had any sting at all allowing both PCM and opposition to offload..

Is he carrying injury..?

I was thinking the same watching last night. He’s really regressed from last year.

Good post, he’s really been off the radar so far this year. 

Must be injured, cause at the moment he’s dangerously close to plodder status.

Sorry to say I thought him a plodder all along

Fair call, but he’s plodding more severely this year.

Yeah he’s probably a starter and not a bench player. Cause we all know his try scoring prowess.

Alex is a bench player at best. Really hasn’t kicked on over the past couple of years. Great physique but limited ability.

In fairness to him how many players have kicked on or will kick on under Maguire

At our club? Maybe (to a degree) Liddle, Garner, Luciano and Utoikamanu

Essentially if you join Madge’s Tigers there’s a 90% chance you’ll become a worse player

Question - If Twal was contracted to any other NRL club would he be playing first grade?

Put aside whether he is in form or not.

For me the answer is no.

When Eisenhuth was here I thought Twal was a better player than him. Now Eisenhuth is starting for the premiership leaders and holding his own.

Yeah ...if you class the WT's as an injury ...he has tried to carry us for three seasons
