Turbo to Superleague?

[Heckenberg]

The numbers floated regarding to re-signing is closer to 1.3mil

Per year? That’s ****ed

 

[damiennp90]

He bleeds for our club. If it’s true he’s willing to sign for 700-800 he’s a must sign.

He’s never going to be 2021 turbo again. But this year showed. At 80% and low confidence he’s still better than anyone else we have.

PLUS he’s had a knee complaint. Which we all knew he was injured.

Make him co captain with Jake. Sigh them up long term at lower money. And then use them as a base to get better forwards

The numbers floated regarding to re-signing is closer to 1.3mil

Surely not

 

[Nordburg]

Per year? That’s ****ed

For the pair of them

Tom Trbojevic instructs agent to sound out Super League options
Intrigue is growing around the future of Tom Trbojevic amid revelations the Manly superstar has tasked his agent with exploring options overseas.

Manly superstar Tom Trbojevic has instructed his agent to put out the feelers in Super League as intrigue grows around his long-term future.
It comes as Trbojevic is the latest big-name player to withdraw from the Ashes as he battles a knee complaint.

It is understood that Trbojevic was keen to push his case for the Kangaroos but has been hampered by a knee issue for a large chunk of this season.

While the knee complaint does not require surgery it needs significant rest to repair itself. Trbojevic reached out to Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters to let him know he was unavailable.


Tom Trbojevic has tasked his agent with exploring options overseas.
Trbojevic also feels that he needs a good pre-season to hit the ground running to push Manly’s premiership claims for next season after they missed out on the top eight.

More intriguing though is his long-term future. Trbojevic has been locked in talks with extending his deal at Manly which expires at the end of next year.

While he has made it clear he won’t play against Manly he has tasked agent Paul Sutton with exploring options overseas. That includes speaking with Super League clubs about the prospect of Trbojevic becoming a marquee signing in England for 2027.

Trbojevic has no interest in quitting the club before his contract expires. However, he instructed Sutton to look at potential Super League clubs feeling he may need to move on when his deal ends.

Manly are keen to keep Trbojevic on a multi-year deal.

Lets see - Seibold or Turbo. I know which way I'd be going.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

At least he’s ruled himself out of the Ashes tour

Has he , well that’s a start, let’s hope that’s true.

28 is too young for Tommy to be running around in a 2nd rate comp.

He still has plenty to offer the NRL.

 

[The '47ers]

Make him co captain with Jake. Sigh them up long term at lower money.

We'll all be sighing if they sign them past their current deals. Get them off the field and into the club.

 

[XV-1]

Lets see - Seibold or Turbo. I know which way I'd be going.

Well DCE lost the battle and left, so Seibold must hold weight somehow.

It will be interesting who Mestrov and Penn back in this round.

 

[mickqld]

Oh so we are assuming wierdface is correct then. So Tom will reef $1.3mil from the place next year even though he hates the coach. Fu*k me, slow news week for weenler is it.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Maybe Tom has it in the back of his mind after the last few years his body isn't up to playing NRL at the intensity he wants and playing Superleague may be easier on his body and extending his playing career.

 

[mave]

I reckon it's probably more likely that he wants to re-sign with Manly, but does not want to take overs again, but is also constrained by what the NRL will allow the minimum $$$ to actually be.

Ennis lost the same battle.

Seibold snd Mestrov are running this show. But then again they are paid to be in charge,

 

[bob dylan]

Make Tommy the captain coach.

Would we be any worse off?

 

[The '47ers]

Make Tommy the captain coach.

Would we be any worse off?

Well he's used to half the season in the coaches box and half the year on the field, so it could work.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Make Tommy the captain coach.

Would we be any worse off?

Probably not.

Agreed but by 2027 he will be 30 with another season under his belt. Given the way the last 6 years have gone there is every chance he picks up an injury or two next year and loses yet another step.

If the club wants to offer him a reduced deal and he is happy to take a paycut, it's hard to see exactly what has happened here but if I had to guess the paycut offered was more than Tom expected (similar to $CE) and/or he is just that off Seibold and Mestrov. I wouldn't blame him for that but for mine it's far more important we retain the likes of Koula and Lehi long term, especially when we are talking about 2027, not right now. Would be a disaster IMO trying to make another year of Turbo in his 30s work and ending up losing someone like Koula who also has a player option coming up.

Not sure how well his hammy’s will last playing in sub-zero temperatures over in the UK

 

[damiennp90]

I knew he was injured. Just knew it. And we find out he had a knee injury which was hampering him.
