Based on his social media postings today, I would hope JAC never pulls on a Tigers jersey ever again.
Can you elaborate on this mate?
he posted a pro Hamas post after the terrorist attacks in Israel and equated it with the plight of indigenous Australians. "Land Back" for Aborigines and Palestinians
EDIT: I do NOT want to start a political discussion, but IMO what happened in Israel is above any argument of "moral equivalence" and again IMO it was disgusting to post something like that regardless of your political stance or opinion on Palestine v Israel.

Yeah, we don’t want people like him at the club.
On a very different note - Alex Twal is staying (yes I know WT have again changed their minds).

To be fair to JAC he's a dope: always was, always will be. I'd be very surprised if he even knew where Gaza was.
And yes, we might be last in the competition, but at least we don't have half wits like him (fingers crossed).

Yes to be fair to JAC,there is a delineation to be made in what he posted.From what I’ve seen he made a reference of support for Palestine and not HAMAS.Major difference.You might accuse him of poor timing but I don’t think he was overtly cheerleading HAMAS for one moment.Truly horrifying what has happened but JAC doesn’t deserve to be crucified for this.

Strongly disagree but will leave it there because otherwise it becomes a political discussion that this place doesnt need.
@helmesy Am I the only one that is totally bewildered by this Alex Twal Saga? I love Twal, because unlike some others in the team (did I accidentally mention Nofoaluma) he tries his guts out each and every time he enters the field. So why has the club caused all this unnecessary drama? I dont get it.

I have good news for you Frog,
Club email just hit Twal extends until 2027.
Clearly he was on too much money. Club told him so and gave him permission to shop around. he realised he is on massive money, wont get it elsewhere and wants to stay so he re-negotiates to make it work for everyone. Good result IMO. Twal can do a job for us on the right money. massive improvement in 23, hopefully continues to improve.
Happy with the Twal news. Makes sense for all parties.
Does anyone have access to the Stef article from the other day on Code Sports?
Smart business from all with the Twal situation. I’m glad he is staying and hopefully on more balanced money.
Club handled this well. Told Twal he was a valued member but on too much. Twal decided to stay on a lesser deal. Good work! Unfortunately it was all across the media, again!

That’s right, looks terrible from the outside that a loyal player is unwanted and then when no one else nabs him you give him a longer deal.

JAC is a Tartak client. Tigers are signing a lot of Tartak players
Noffa is an Ayoub client. Dogs are signing a lot of Ayoub players
I think it would suit both clubs right now to entertain a swap. Not sure what I think about the prospect but I think it might be at least a small chance of it happening?

Might sound ridiculous but I hope not. I think JAC is on the downward slide and is not a positive for team culture. More excited about the prospect of Noffa leaving than JAC coming.
@tiger5150 he’s not the player he was and I agree he’s on the slippery slope. I’d still swap him for Nofa though. Honestly I’d probably swap any player in the NRL for Nofa.
