Tom Trbojevic destined to be one of the greats

[Fluffy]

Not sure how he was so far away he couldn't get to it on the full, a lot of air time near the middle of the park.

It's not an acl. Those injuries are a lot less noticeable. Most acl injury look like a simple knee bending the wrong way. That injury looked like his leg was going to have to be amputated.

I hope it's not an ACL, but an ankle or lower leg buckling in is a classic mechanism for an ACL injury.

Trent "Tom could be gone for the year. The ankle is the main concern"

I thought Baz did well.

Started poorly in the second half.

So threw in Taupau early. Then Brown and Hastings to up enthusiasm.

What else can he do.

We needed another forward on the bench

Not brown and Hastings together

Even an idiot can see that

But not twent

Wonder if it's the ankle that he had operated on in the off season

I'm not sure, but if this is the case a season that was looking to show loads of promise could quickly go the other way. He's that important for us

Ankle was the thing I was concerned about, from the way he was limping off the field. Was giving me flashbacks to when I broke mine ...something about the way he was hobbling just reminded me of that

We have Hastings for fullback and he can kick.

Nope, other side I heard.

Maybe log off until you've sobered up a bit.

The good thing is that he is still developing so heals much faster than us old jointed ones

Hope it forces the NRL to tighten the 'tackled in the air' rule

My 7yr old was in tears at the stadium tonite when it happened. He was blowing up actually giving the broncos supporters around us the biggest spray around how it should have been a no try. I actually had to calm him down he was so angry and in tears. Just kept saying he was taken in mid air. Never have I been so embarrassed and proud at the same time. I'm working hard with him to not be so competitive. I really hope Turbo is ok because if he's not I'm worried for the rest of the year.

 

[eaglebuzz]

If he is gone for the season we're not going to win the comp this year. But to be honest I never thought we would.

It will be a massive shame for the NSW side too.

 

[Class of 96]

Shame the clowns did not sort it ages ago. Tackled in the air is just that and just as dangerous either way. Imbeciles!!!

 

[eaglebuzz]

Very sober, are you the little bitch that runs in from the side for a cheap shot or the voice of reason?

I don't care which you think I am, your combative posts are just really boring to read.

Ease up ffs

But let's not forget the rule says fair game when the player in the air is an attacking player. Ambiguity reins with this rule.

Correct, but there is a bit of a difference between the two. Nine times out of ten, the attacking players chasing the ball have significant forward momentum, which gives them greater control over where/how they land.

The defender is basically a sitting duck, with very little control over the direction he has to move in order to take the ball (he has to make sideways, backwards or forwards movements in reaction to what the ball is doing in flight, where the attackers run generally forward onto it).

Tommy looked to be in plenty of discomfort limping off. I'm no Dr but surprisingly it looked like his ankle was giving him more grief than the knee.

Ok we'll I'm an idiot then.

I agree brown isn't the best player in the world. Surly lussick takes his place.

But in my View AFB has to go back to reserve grade to learn some discipline ( he'll probably be out for a few weeks suspended anyway )

So who replaces brown. Perrit, Bainbridge maybe ? Maybe chuck a bit of youth in there but think we need his experience
