Playing career

Twigg made his debut for Canberra against Cronulla-Sutherland in Round 16 1989 at Seiffert Oval. Twigg only managed one further appearance for Canberra that season and did not play in the club maiden premiership victory against Balmain. The following season, Twigg only made one appearance for the club and did not feature in Canberra's second consecutive premiership victory.

In 1991, Twigg featured in more games and was included on the bench for the 1991 NSWRL grand final against the Penrith Panthers. Canberra lead the match at halftime but Penrith came from behind to win their first premiership 19–12. The grand final defeat would also be Twigg's last appearance for the club.[2][3][4][5]
