24 isn't peak (you're still an adolescent!) more around 27. The injuries and rehabilitation have clearly held his full potential back.

Anyway back on Transfer news I see Tigers are looking to release Alex Twal

Could be a potentially good signing and it does show that there may be some movement in the NRL market in the off season even if they are contracted


I’m not close to NRL so no idea about this guy.

Just a bit concerned that having a CULT hero called Alex TWAL could be dangerous if I’m typing without glasses on in a bad mood next year.

I agree, I'd be hoping that there's a lot of work done with Harry in the off season, it might be the first full preseason he's had for a while, gives him chance to get his body but more importantly his mindset ready for a big year, it's a difficult one because the energy and passion he has is just being channelled in the wrong way, and the last thing you would want to do is take that out of his game, as I say it needs focussing in a different way.

Personally I think its just a combination of frustrations, A. him having another injury riddles season and B. the team not performing.

Its a big off season and year for Harry, I do hope him not getting selected for England might focus his mind, it could go the other way and him thinking that he deserves to be there but its because he's playing in a bad team, from what Ive seen bits of his family on Facebook, they don't seem to be helping.


Wonder if Newman would benefit from a mentor from outside the club. Maybe be an ex-player like Ablett or Senior, just a thought.

Twal is a good solid pro. I wouldn’t mind him but wouldn’t pay marquee money for him either.

I can’t help but think we could use the quota on more pivotal positions and then find another prop domestically.

If we are looking at filling three marquee positions as GH mentioned last week, you'd have to think prop is one of them. Given that there are virtually no English half backs or centres who justify that kind of spend, I would say prop is the only position where you could source a federation trained player of the requisite quality. Sutton, Burgess and Thompson would be three examples.

Behaving like one, certainly.
Don't think anyone could argue about your last comment. But the point remains: how high should we go in terms of retaining his services?

Talk of Esah going to Saints.
Hope we get him signed and not let him slip through the net.

Quick update with genuine passed info. Been told to watch this space a very big, unexpected name is coming! Nene is gone and Lee has been offered a good deal, KR have been approached about Abdull with a large fee, no bullshit from me, just what I’m told. Another British forward incoming asap aswell. Hope this calms people, Frawley still scares the hell out of me!


Think we could do with an update on this. No sign of any movement so far?
