Rumours and Stuff

[I'm a loser baby...]

He needs some size I think is the main problem. 103kg is a little light on and he definitely seems to tire when he's throwing himself at bigger bodies, especially in defence. But he's only 20 as well. He's made the NSW Cup team of the week 5 times this season, he's hardly plodding it up.

Not saying he'll be a superstar and I can certainly understand why the club let him go but he's definitely got quality about him. Just needs some work.

I'd put him at 104kg. Maybe even 104.5

The issue is that despite being put on a weight gain diet, Twal has only put on 2kg since he was 18. Great work rate but is not dominant in any other aspect , thinking is that it would take at least 2/3 years to get him in shape and the Tigpies offered him NRL money now.

We have better prospects coming through in NYC and SG Ball who have to be looked after, there are 3 front rowers that play Matts this year who are all mobile and are all over 6'2" with enormous potential. they are the starting front rowers for U16 origin , the other only came back 2 games before the end of the season. It's a numbers game that is looking good for the future.

I didn't say that.

I said that there is no way that whatever someone has been caught on camera snorting that well and truly after the event that substance to be proven was anything illegal.

But you do agree that given the right circumstances that snorting the coke would be a crime?

Yeah I'm not spewing that we let him go or anything, as I said he's not ready for FG and he will take a bit of work as many people don't really put on a lot of weight at that age, and he's clearly one of those types.

Of course, the flipside potentially is that a few athletes like that do suddenly bulk up in their early 20s as though someone flipped a switch. Might be that the Tiges have gambled on that.

Sounds like Twai needed to go to the Sharks instead.

Like Gallen?

Or Manly. That calves blood works miracles, mate!

 

[Jake the snake]

As many have said already, Twal is no big loss. The Big loss was Junior Paulo. Very hard to get good props these days!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'll believe it when Chiefy confirms.

 

[Delboy]

Not sure the Junior that is playing at the Raiders is what we need, the one that played at the Eels would be very handy given the difference in performance we have seen.

Either way we miss his size and mobility for a big boy. Alavaro and Mannah don't cut it. Not big enough not strong enough. I'd have Junior back in a heart beat.

Willis Meehan Anyone? Any news? We need a prop with a bit of merkin about him STAT!

I'm excited for our prop stocks, especially once Dresler and Stefano Utoikamanu are back.

 

[Stagger eel]

Meehan isn't an option this year mate... nor is Vaughan... ( just getting in before someone else does)

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Willis Meehan Anyone? Any news? We need a prop with a bit of merkin about him STAT!

Surely he's gone to the Broncs?

 

[Stagger eel]

Surely he's gone to the Broncs?

Nah that's the other merkin.... anyway let's not go there again you deadshits!

 

[84 Baby]

Meehan isn't an option this year mate... nor is Vaughan... ( just getting in before someone else does)

So you're saying Vaughany isn't an option for this year? But next year...

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

So we have an Italo-Tongan front rower. I like that.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Or caster sugar. Impossible to prove it was even that with no substance.

Yeah people snort castor sugar all the time.

 

[Chipmunk]

You'd have to be extremely unlucky and involved in an agent provacotuer situation to be done for a criminal offence for just snorting some coke.
