          Twiddle turns 22 this year. Can play fullback and even 5/8. So his future at the club is blocked. So he would have to go England or another NRL team for a crack IMO.

          I would like to see him developed into a utlity player that can cover fullback, centre, 5/8 and lock.

          • Hector Bob Down > EA February 10, 2026 at 7:57pm

            Thanks for the info EA as you say looks his future here will be blocked hey 

          • LB > EA February 10, 2026 at 8:16pm

            The new 19 man bench could make Twidle valuable.

            • Hector Bob Down > LB February 10, 2026 at 8:23pm

              Would be good food for thought hey

            • EA > LB February 10, 2026 at 8:52pm

              I agree but from my understanding he has only trained at fullback for the past 2 years so not sure if the club are considering to explore his utlity value.

            Twiddle has more upside being able to play wing, FB and 5/8, so I'd have him on the wings in NSW Cup over Tago.

    Seems like a lot more top players named in the first trial of the year than I can remember in a long time. Is this a move to reduce the possibilty of repeating the performance in last years season opener? Plenty on offer in Round 1 for Ryles, this team and the Club. I reckon Jason will be focusing heavily on having everyone turn up and being 100% ready to play. It looks as though he's not messing about. Footy's back. Let's Go!!!!

    When is the game?

    Good to see so many young guys getting a run Teancum Brown seems like he is going to get a start this year  in the top grade

"yeah thanks guys, I was surprised, i just don't see him ball playing like a walker, Hopgood, DeBellin, etc. That surprised me. Mind you none are as good as Walker at it, from lock."
