Here is Zero Tackle's NRL Rookie Team of the Year for the 2018 season.

Players who played more than ten first grade games prior to this season were not eligible for this list.

6. Prop: Alex Twal

The argument could be made that Alex Twal is Wests best prop. Averaging 10 run metres for 92 metres per contest, Twal provides the Tigers better than the clubs respective starters – Russell Packer (8.1 runs per game for 67 metres) and Ben Matulino (10.1 runs per game for 89 metres).

Twal has already represented Lebanon but if he continues on this current path, bigger and better things are on the horizon for him.
