Tommy T Injured - usa bound

[Budgie]

I feel hugely sorry for him. I think his head is in all sorts trying to go from what's come naturally his whole life to seemingly the opposite.

And, even if he can stay away from all media (mainstream and social), he'd still be very aware that his nickname is 'Turbo' and he no longer has that which gave him his moniker.

Incidentally ... any codebreakers here?

Injury news: Tom Trbojevic

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today received some positive news on full-back Tom Trbojevic following yesterday’s win over the Wests Tigers.

I think any team in the current competition will struggle when a high percentage of their salary cap is sitting on the bench. If this groin is another long term injury a discussion needs to be had surrounding his contract situation or even potentially stepping away (only if he decides it’s what’s best for his body) but either way we can’t talk premierships until we are at least in a position where we can rely on our top #17 taking the field weekly and lasting 80 minutes.

He's on a long term contract, so, not much to discuss.

I wonder if there's any chance it was a bit of a wake up, as in he's so afraid of injury that he wants to come off at the first sign of a twinge only to discover its nothing?

One of the highlights of the 90s was getting regular updates on Ian Roberts' groin, he had a chronic issue, but still played at a very high standard.

Jeez. Updates on Ian's Groin back in the day. Now they would be some interesting statistics.

That is huge news for Manly fans to hear. Nobody gets shifted around. Just need to get Tommy back to his Turbo self again.

In the famous words of one Braith Anasta,I’m no doctor but,I suspect his hesitance at the moment to go full throttle,a new running style and protect his hamstrings is causing issues elsewhere.

Surely it's time for Turbo to move to the centres and turn a big weakness of ours into a strength. Let him roam etc like he did in origin. Give Weekes a proper chance at 1.

I think it was more a case of slippery conditions and quite easy for your foot to slide along the wet grass, causing you to stretch out. Similar to Regan against the broncos last Friday night.

Does anyone else get a sinking feeling when they see a notification titled: ‘Injury News: Tom Trbojevic’
Thank fuk it was a false alarm. Gave me a heart attack!

Yes that probably was a big factor to it too,as DCE said at yesterday’s press conference.

 

[Eager Beaver]

Great news! I think we need to have a bit of patience with turbo. He has played such little footy over the last couple of years that even if his body was 100% it’s going to take the better part of this season to get his confidence and game back. Adding onto that he is learning new mechanics with his running style and seems to be thinking before doing. Hopefully with enough reps he can move it from left brain to right brain. I’m regards to moving him to centre Siebs made a good point in the presser that what’s not seen is how well he is organising our defensive line. Although we have had a few leaky games imagine how bad it could be with a rookie back there!

 

[Bearfax]

He's a top tier player and its always frustrating having such players out of the game. What will be will be as they say, but I expect all of us are hopeful that he gets through these issues not too far in the future and return to the field to become the amazing player, we know he is.

Rain forecast all weekend so I wonder if that'll factor into whether he plays or not.

My wife works for a surgeon who operates on hernias (amongst other things), she said they have a lot of patients who have this injury but think it's a hernia.

She sends them to a physio in North Sydney who specializes in this injury and has developed specific exercises to fix this.

I'm trying Yoda, I'm trying.
Recover well Tom.

Wasn't it at Campbelltown during Covid we (and other teams) had multiple leg injuries (from memory, Turbo, Walker), and some discussions over the playing surface? I saw a lot of slipped footings yesterday, and maybe this played on our players' minds a little?

 

[XV-1]

I believe there is going to be another corso race between Turbo, Harry, the Tigers prop forward and Aaron Woods.

Tommy is currently 3rd in the betting line

 

[Remy]

Great news obviously but bring Tommy in fresh for magic round, Weekes will have a blinder at fullback.
