[Resurrected] Turbo injury,healt..wait..injury - updates

[BOZO]

What are the odds of a medical retirement if he keeps it up?

Turbo is too resilient for medical retirement
He will be back in time To Do Your Dogs

You could be right Bozo
At the going rate it will be two derailed clubs battling it out
I am a fan of Tom but he is looking more banged up than previous years I do wish him well though and deserves to win a premierships whilst at Manly

Yes Tom Does Deserve to Win a Manly Premiership
He also Deserves some luck with Injuries
He does not Deserve early retirement

Turbo needs to fight his way through the next 18 months and then give it away. Bitterly disappointing for all Manly fans but it is what it is. As a last effort, I hope they put him in the centers and give Koula a shot at 1 (far more dynamic then Hoppa). It would be a real issue if the club extend him and Jake. Both have been great servants and hopefully get on the coaching side of things for us but their playing days need to end in 2026

Controversial opinion.

The NRL was right the deny us medical retirements for Matai and Stewart.

They are not the issue. The corruption is obvious in the fact Burgess, Choc and co were not denied a medical retirement.

 

[jbb/james]

I have nothing concrete but i do recall the NRL releasing a statement or maybe an email reply from possibly @Ryan or another poster that may even be contained within the ST archives. At times he was super Pro Active and went looking for answers

Manly never applied for cap dispensation for stewie an d skivvy

At the time also from memory the club was making losses. Any new money spent by paying them out and replacing them would have made the losses significant and made up by the owners

This has been my memory , not saying im correct but i wouldnt make this **** up and if its true we need to stop carrying around this victim card. I was also very pissed about this at the time but this seemed believable

The Koula/Hoppa to 1 debate is interesting. Koula is more explosive and can create numbers with his speed but is less silky with his passing game. Hoppa is a great last line in defence and has a stronger yardage carry to allow for a quick play-the-ball. It really is splitting hairs.

Except to add Koula is very much wasted at centre, his best games in a Manly jersey were at FB, love to see him given a fair go at 1. Hoppa is very silky which makes me think he could have at least been tried at 6 over the origin period, would be a better choice than JA. I’d like to see Hoppa given a go to play what he sees, also think he would link in to our backline plays without missing a beat, nothing seems to phase him, has football talent, ball playing might just be his thing.

 

[ManlyTragic]

I reckon he only came back from injury last time so that he could try and get him self another Blues jersey.....

…. I though that he came back because he ran out of sick leave!

Just sayin’

Writing this from the lovely country of cheese and onion pizza. I may have mentioned 4-5 years ago that manly will never win a comp with the turbo jurbo $ce combo. All the last 5 years of false hope are now laid bare and it will become a fact.

I wish the club well, and just hope we do not get the spoon while they are all here. Game changed, manly did not. Maybe we are a hope in 2027. We will not win until all 3 are gone and that is sad

But…good to see you still here mark. Shame about that soup offal it reminds me of Kevin ward.

Eagles may fly but soaring to glory will take more than a turbo boost.

Thanks for reading cya next year, or not.

I just don’t get the argument abot having 3 players on $1m wrecking the roster. Tell me a successful club that doesn’t have $1m players on their books. Melbourne have done it year after year and seem to do pretty well.

I see your point. Koula gassed quicker than Hoppa though…the conundrum continues 😂

Trbojevic's cork turns into rare 'skin of the sausage' injury

The fullback won't play this week against the Brisbane Broncos.

A ....myofascial complication?!?!?!?!

More like a myo - 'farcical' complication.





He got a bruised sausage....!

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Somehow unsurprised that Turbo's Cork should develop into some kind of rare injury.........

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Also, 'spine' players need a voice. For instance at fullback these days they are supposed to direct the troops in defence. Both youngsters Hoppa and Koula seem pretty quiet so far. Especially Tolu, he rarely even cracks a grin!

Anyone thinking a 28 year old Tom Trbojevic will be retiring at the end of next season is living in dreamland

Only Turbo could find an injury that nobody has even ever heard of… 🤣

Ironically, I posted somewhere (here, I think) years ago, that he should go and see somebody who works with myofascial trains. With that many injuries, somebody should be looking at the mechanics of tension and compression through his movements. I guess it’s still a relatively unknown area, and on the outer of mainstream physio work within clubs.

DIdnt he do some fancy rehab in the USA???

Yes, he did… but I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the type of myofascial work I was referring to. That said, it was out of the box, and seemed to fail. When a club tries something left field and it doesn’t work out, they will often go back to what they know

We should play both at fullback! 🤪
