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!

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.

Merci Beaucoup, much appreciated mate.

(maybe I should watch at least 1 non manly game per season...) lol

Bulldogs tragic living in heart of Manly-Warringah
I posted late last week Billy Slaters concerns about that particular injury and his experiences with it even with needles, it isn’t great at all. I would take Seibolds words with a grain of salt he is going to say that everyone is all good regardless because he wouldn’t want to give the opposition any ammunition. Someone like Slaters opinion is much more credit than Seibold in my opinion, and I am not being biased

Regardless of what people think about him I think he knows a thing or two about footy and his opinion should be respected

Regardless of Billy's opinion (and I agree that he does know what he's talking about), or anybody else's opinion, Turbo did play against the Dogs and he will play against the Chooks.

Say what you like about Seibold (and plenty of us here frequently do), but he doesn't play ducks and drakes with the press or the fans. He's almost too honest for his own good. If he says Tom will play - and Tom says Tom will play - then Tom will play.

Rugby league is supposed to be a game where we celebrate toughness in the face of adversity - Sattler's famously broken jaw, Cronk's bung shoulder, Cameron Smith continuing to play long after it was clear that everybody in the world couldn't stand looking at his face, etc. So we should be celebrating Turbo's toughness and willingness to do what needs to be done for his team.

He's added a gold star to his status as a Manly legend. So get on board and support your new favourite team:)

Hard not to admire courage and it is infectious on all the players around him. However we really need to fix our right hand side defence. 3 of the 4 tries down that side.

They gave him a second shot at the break, it was shown on TV with the medico ready to administer it.
Why TF would you allow TV coverage of that? Anyhow, glad it worked better than the first 'Changa' attempt, doctor.

It definitely needs fixing, and Garrick definitely should be a winger. But it was 2 tries each side yesterday. And 2 came from kicks, where Koula and Talau were the guys targeted.

NRL 2024: Tom Trbojevic pushes through immense pain to get Manly deeper into the finals​

Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic’s shoulder injury means agonising pain when he drives, sleeps, or even reaches for his cereal in the morning. He reveals what it takes to get him through each game.

Unable to sleep, enduring searing pain simply turning the steering wheel of his car, and immersing his body into -162 degree temperatures.

Influential Sea Eagles star Tom Trbojevic has revealed the excruciating commitment he has made to push through agony and overcome the Roosters in a must-win semi final on Saturday night at Allianz Stadium.

The champion fullback has captivated the rugby league audience with his extraordinary mental and physical resolve to play with an agonising grade three AC-joint injury and MCL knee injury.

Requiring multiple painkilling injections to end the Bulldogs season last Sunday afternoon, Trbojevic says he’s ready to put his body on the line again against the Roosters.

“It’s feeling better this week,’’ Trbojevic said.

“It’s just a pain (tolerance) thing. The first game is going to be sore and then it gets better.”

Tom Trbojevic is overcoming huge physical pain to finish off the season for Manly.

LIVING IN PAIN

Outside of footy, Trbojevic gave an insight into how his shoulder injury has impacted the rest of his life. Something as simple as writing his name, opening the fridge or reaching for the cereal tests his threshold for pain.

“Obviously shoulder injuries, when you initially get them they are quite sore. So it makes it difficult to sleep,’’ Trbojevic said.

“Driving is also different, trying to turn a wheel. It gets sore after games but that’s no different to any shoulder injury.

“Initially you are in a sling so you can’t do too much. But it is just sore.’’

NRL Physio Brien Seeney said he was in awe of Trbojevic’s modesty and bravery.

“Along with rib injuries, I’d say AC joint injuries are the two most painful injuries in footy,’’ Seeney said.

“It hurts with every move that you make in that shoulder.

“It doesn’t pose a lot of long-term issues, but in the short-term it does cause a lot of pain.

“You’re literally playing with an unstable shoulder joint.’’

NFL TREATMENT

Trbojevic has been undertaking cryotherapy and a red light therapy – used by NFL heavyweights San Francisco 49ers – to help with his recovery.

He was there as recently as Thursday and uses the treatment up to three times a week.

Health practitioner and co-owner of CRYO Northern Beaches in Freshwater Dimple Naik said Trbojevic had been a regular in recent months.

“Tom has been using cryotherapy to aid in his recovery and enhance his physical and mental performance,” Naik said.

“Cryotherapy exposes the body or parts of the body to subzero temperatures reaching -140°C. “The fully immersive whole Body cryotherapy chamber at CRYO Northern Beaches is the only TGA approved chamber that reaches temperatures of -140°C and the treatment time is only three minutes.

Trbojevic has been using cryotherapy to help recover.

Trbojevic has been using cryotherapy to help recover.
“When you step in the chamber, the body goes through a ‘fight or flight’ response activating the nervous system, and all the blood rushes to the core to protect the heart and vital organs.

“When you step out of the chamber, fresh blood circulates the system to instantly reduce pain, muscle soreness and inflammation.

“In addition, as the head and neck are also exposed to those temperatures, it ignites the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress, anxiety and provide mental clarity and focus.

“Tom has also been incorporating red light therapy and localised cryotherapy, for his shoulder treatment when he visits the centre.

“For the shoulder injury specifically, we have been administering localised cryotherapy, where focused application of -162°C cryogenically cooled air is treated to the affected areas, penetrating in deeper layers of muscle tissue and joints.’’

A TOUGH CHARACTER​


Sea Eagles chairman Scott Penn has been around the club long enough to witness true courage and player bravery during a serious injury.

He has seen up close and personal how tough Trbojevic is, having spent time with him in America when the champion fullback visited training guru Bill Knowles to help with his hamstring problems.

He was also in the stands on Sunday at Accor Stadium as Trbojevic, having struggled through the pain barrier, popped up with eight minutes remaining to provide the inspiration for Tolu Koula’s matchwinning try.

“He is an absolutely tough character. He keeps a lot of it to himself, he doesn’t really talk about it,’’ Penn said.

“He has definitely been through some dark times and tough times.

“We have always known the character and leader he is both on and off the field. He is a special human, he loves the club and he loves playing – he is a fierce competitor.

“You could see on Sunday he was hurting. It is super painful playing through it.

“He has not only shown his mental toughness, but it is inspiring to the playing group.’’

TWO MORE WEEKS

Of course, the end-goal for Trbojevic and the Sea Eagles is to win the premiership on that first Sunday in October.

The question is, will Trbojevic be able to continue to push through his shoulder pain and knee complaint for a further two weeks?

“Yes, he will get there,’’ Seeney said.

“It’s about luck as well. It’s about avoiding obvious hits to that shoulder.

“He’ll be trying to find that balance between protecting it, and also getting the most out of it, so Manly can win.’’

Jake Trbojevic is also in no doubt about his brother’s fortitude to keep going.

They don’t live under the same roof any more, but Jake has spent enough time with Tom to understand that when he puts his mind to something, he generally gets it done.

“The thing about Tom is he works so hard so you just want the best for him,’’ Jake said.

“He is so professional, works extremely hard. He does everything right.

“Whenever he goes down – touch wood it never happens again – you know he will come out the other side because he is very resilient.’’

He is obviously remunerated very well however you can never question his toughness, will to win and love of the club. Next captain.

Hmm… is he good to go to another team… or medically retire… or move to another non-critical team position on less money?

Tom better not put his hand up for the Pasific championship comp. It's strictly for the up and comers coming through, nothing to prove playing in the heat in mid October.
