Turbo good to go

[Nordburg]

While we won today, surely Tommy can't play next week, let alone the next 3 matches if we make the GF.

BTW, what was wrong with his knee?

Got a cork in the Dogs game.If he got through today,he’ll be “right” to go next week

He needs to be better next week. I reckon he will be.

. . . . to another club ?

Dylan Edwards won the 2021 premiership with a fractured foot and the Panthers kept playing him... because the team was still better with him playing injured rather than playing with a replacement.

Same applies to Tom who was still good today although far from 100%.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Not sure if playing today would have set his recovery back or not. Maybe the extra week (almost) will help. I'll leave that up to Tommy and the medical staff.

Before the game I said I was proud of him for wanting to play, and I'm even more proud of him after that effort. All heart and guts: surely that's "The Manly Way".

He wasn't perfect, he wasn't 100%, but we wouldn't have won the game without him out there

We were pretty bad today. But we got it done. On wards and upwards.

If Turbo does not play I am not sure the scrum move works like it did

You have to understand how much he adds to our attack without the ball let alone with it

 

[davohan123]

Even on one arm his presence was there today
Courageous and gutsy
He will play on Saturday

Not having a go but … shoulder v Foot is easy.

Long story but had a broken pinky toe once. Pain is pain. Shoulder is way worse.

In saying that pinky ( which you might not need) is worst than you know,

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Turbo, what a player.
Clearly played in pain, yet came up with the winning play.
Sorry Nathan, turbo is No 1 (when he can get on the field, lol!)

The issue with Tom is everyman and his dog and Rooster, knows he’s busted now if they didn’t already know before. It’s like no one knew that Gutho was playing with three broken ribs until after the game and Barrett mentioned it. And there’d be plenty more in the remaining teams that are keeping it on the down low that certain players (especially the guns) are playing injured.

I’d love Turbo to play next week. But at what risk to himself, as the Roosters will surely batter him.
At what stage do the medical staff take the decision out of Seibolds hands by putting Toms longevity in the game first and foremost?

 

[Cochrane]

Im going to guess his first needle didnt work, he was carrying that shoulder from the first minute and it was obvious. Did he get a second needle or did it just take time to take effect?

You’re kiddin’ right?

 

[skull61]

If Turbo doesn’t play today we don’t win simple as that set up 1st try crucial role in Koulas try and ran for most meters always willing to take the hit up

 

[ManlyTragic]

Great players play injured … John satler, cooper Cronk…..

 

[Dion Johnson]

He is tough Turbo, could have folded and went off after that first needle didn’t do the job, huge effort to get himself on the paddock and play.

Need him next week and the following two weeks!!

Fox said he got another needle at halftime 😣

 

[globaleagle]

Apologies if this has been asked / answered elsewhere.....

Does anyone know why he takes, a lot, that 4th tackle hit up?

It would seem to be a tad predictable but also it stops him doing those amazing kick chases where he jumps up, grabs the ball and gets a trrrrrry!!! (ala s.o.o.)

This 4th tackle option must be a strategy, but I can't work out why it's a good one.

So.. um..

Go Manly!

They gave him a second shot at the break, it was shown on TV with the medico ready to administer it.

Generally its when we are kicking for distance.

You'll notice nearly all fullbacks do it, they take the hit up because they arent in the chasing line. They essentially play the ball then stay in position as fullback in defence whilst the rest of the team chase in a line.
