The turbos

[Dan]

on of the things I really like about Tom turn is the look of total "WTF JUST HAPPENED" on his face as to whether he was the one who scored or not.

It's the look of a naturally good footballer just doing his thing and consistently being surprised at it working

We will see alot more of that dan in years to come . Tom will go down as an all time great .

In his 2 seasons or so in the top grade Tommy has already matched if not passed what Wombat and Snake achieved at this stage of their careers. Tommy T has all the attributes to be one of the greatest to have ever played the game.

I still feel a tad sorry for Gutho, who was a star coming through yet was doomed never to blossom here due to the Brobdingnagian shadow cast by the towering talents of Tom Turbo.

Absolutely agree 100%. The big advantage he has when taken into consideration when comparing him to other fullbacks is his size. It's easy to look over the fact, but the kid is as big as Inglis. He's fast, elusive and is only 20 years old. His defence will improve as will his decision making when it comes to ball playing. He's still in a kids body and will only get stronger. Has the potential to be an absolute superstar, and his brother will be right up there too.

I have never seen a Gullivers Travels reference on a footy website.....as Rob Sitch would say Champagne!

Hopefully Gutho will be back from the slime. Just as Lussick returned. Getting local juniors back that are playing in the top level should be a priority.

Well with Hayne potentially returning to the Slime, maybe it can happen?!

He was certainly shocked when he scored the final try on Friday night...he got up and sort of looked around in disbelief and he missed the opportunity to really celebrate according to the magnitude of what had just happened because he let the moment pass...haha.

The thing that excites me about Tom T more than anything is how confident I am as a supporter that something will happen around him. Even when nothing appears to be on, he will make something happen and come out the other side of the defensive line or charge through the middle off a short ball...what about the ball to Jake T against the Dragons when he picked the ball up out of dummy half? Nothing was on then!

He towered over me when I stood next to him in the player tunnel in Canberra on Friday night and I am 6 foot. He is a massive human being.

Fair enough, but wasn't wombat 18 when we won in 72?

 

[Woodsie]

Tom will be one of the greatest 2nd rowers ever to play for Manly and Australia

 

[Holmsey]

I dont want Gutho back we have no where to play or where he will improve the team and he's got butter fingers.

 

[Ben]

Tom will be in the GI class of player. Big, strong, fast but also has the ball playing skill set of the modern day fullback. IMO Tom can be a touch lazy controlling the ball in a tough situation just sticking the arm out. This is where he can improve along with his defence. This will come with time as he grows with 1st grade.

I know you are serious when you say this; and whilst his build will be perfect for the role, I'm not sure he has the mentality of a forward and the defensive capabilities required - even in time.

 

[The Royal Soup]

The Turbos will go down as the greatest set of brothers to play for Manly IMO

 

[Holmsey]

And why would you waste a player of his abilities anywhere but fullback.

 

[bob dylan]

You know I am still not sold on him. Sure I can see the raw ability but I see that in Pongia and Mitchell and a few others too.

Don't get me wrong I dont want to swap him for anyone else, especially those I mentioned above.

Then again it took me a good while to warm to Brett too.

Legend. Legend.
