Twiddle does not have the speed, acceleration or footwork like Papalii and Iongi. However, he has a very strong footy IQ in attack. Arguably better than both Papalii and Iongi in that department. In NSW Cup he is very good sweeping out the back and chosing his moments when to raid short sides as we saw today.
Unfortunately us keeping him may not be our choice. There is no path to the NRL as a fullback at the club. With his lack of speed and acceleration I also wonder if any NRL club would want him as their first choice. Hence I why I believe he needs to be developed into a utlity that can play Fullback/centre/5-8/lock.
I really hope we find a way to keep him. The only spine member remaining from our 2023 SG ball winning team. Obviously Pryke, Tuivita, Alamadine and Spence still wth the club as well.
Super impressive defence. Still errors and way to many penalty's and six agains. Really interested to know how many of those infringements were warranted or was the ref just over the top
Combinations of both I feel EA, the new rules will make 6 agains look to be much higher than last year.....I don't like it but dont have the answer's either. Yes it makes the game faster and 6 agains will (i believe) make them more seemless and actually just something we become acustomed to.......maybe?

Utility or leave for better opportunities
EA, Twidle is a keeper for me; he seems to have a bit of that class and reads the play

Twiddle has been super impressive in this half
Very professional and productive trial, next week v chooks should be a fun one
Twidle is too good for NSW Cup.

Gone are the days when Jack Cini and Werimu greg were our most hopeful.
Great to see the development players carry it through to the second half
Teancum Brown
Joash
Talititiana
Richard Penasini
Apa Twidle
The list can go on
Teancum Brown my pick of the bunch. He'll get his debut jersey very soon
Twidle could get a run aswell very impressive.
