Your club's most exciting rookie

Alex Twal (Eels)

While most NYC players catch your eye through their electrifying performances, players like Alex Twal impress the masses with their unwavering professionalism. Having represented the Junior Kangaroos and the Junior Blues, it's clear the young Eels prop is on the right path to a spot in the NRL side. Twal played 22 matches for Parramatta in 2015 and backed it up with a further 13 games last season where he averaged 33 tackles and 178 metres per game. 

Special mention: Honeti Tuha. A hat-trick hero for the Knights in the 2015 NSW Cup grand final, Tuha moved to the Wentworthville Magpies in 2016 where he excelled on the wing and at fullback and crossed for a treble against his former club when they met in Round 19.
