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

We should play both at fullback! 🤪

Let’s revolutionise the game and play 2 fullbacks at once. We’ve refused to get a proper dummy half for years, so let’s just literally not play one at all. 🤪

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

He did, however it’s becoming a bit like a lipstick on a pig situation

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.

How about Koula to FB & Lehi partners Garrick in the Centres! Lehi makes plenty of yardage playing wing & his defense is sound so Centre wouldn't be a problem for him. Koula at the back, TT2 on the wing.

Yeah so we have 2 fullbacks, 2 wingers, 2 Centres, 2 halves, 2 props, 2 back rowers, 1 lock….
Res: 2….1 forward, 1 back

Ok so I see you have recruited Conner Tracey as a utility, interesting and maybe not the worst call. Hoppa could play centre no doubt, but his just not physically ready IMO and would be wasted similar to Tolu, Talau is a better option, bigger body, he also lacks the speed to be a genuinely good winger, Lehi for me is best sticking on the wing for a season or 2, or give him a shot in the halves over origin while Daly’s on duty, nothing to loose, everything to gain. Seibs will no doubt take the JA route, its safety first, but very uninspiring.

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

Maybe Uncle Gus could do us a favour and buy him off us.

Time for medical retirement Tom. This is just flogging a dead horse.

Crichton cops a cork, plays origin.

Tom cops a cork, misses one, probably two club games.

Tom cops a cork and it turns into a rare sausage skin ailment.

If Tom gets medically retired we wowuld still have to carry his contract in our salary cap whatever his contract length is.
The only way we could get an exemption from this is if Tom had a major catastrophic injury that prevents him from playing again, whereas Tom has had a multitude of niggling injuries which prevent him from playing at his optimum, this does not get salary cap exemption.

That's our battle hardened boys. Paseka, Aloiai, Saab, Turbo, Jurbo, Croker, Brown, Taulau, Lodge,( Sipley suspensions and injury). Too many games missing due to injury over last couple years.. TKO now missed a few.

At least DCE is never injured. 😀

Wonder what the dollars per minute are between DCE and Tommy

 

[Kalvin]

I was just listening to the "levels" podcast earlier. Funnily enough they were discussing how underrated a cork is (in relation to Crighton/origin - not Tom), but to me maybe Tom keeps copping a whack to that same spot which makes more sense to me after hearing mason describe it

More like $$/productivity. Bet that's well below the national average.

We look more like a 1970s Vietnamese sweat shop, but paying Australian level wages.
