[Resurrected] 6 wks for Turbo and Walker (old news)

[The better Robbo]

I would be very surprised if either are back in 6 weeks. Seems very optimistic as both are reocurring injuries I'd be thinking 8 weeks is more likely

Agree. 6 weeks is Manly speak for 10. Always has been , always will.

Agree. 6 weeks is Manly speak for 10. Always has been , always will.

Which means our season hinges on the next 6 to 10 weeks. We need to win more than we lose in this time or it makes top 4 extremely hard which in turn makes winning the comp extremely hard

 

[susan]

Especially with a competition with eight really good sides this year then rabble. Top 4 a lottery and missing it is a death blow. We have the toughness .. do we have the luck.

 

[QueefRichards]

I think we can grind out wins against all of those teams in the next six weeks if our forwards fire and our halves click

 

[ricardo]

I did a hammy twice in the same spot. Both were 6 weeks on the sidelines. Sucked balls ...

 

[Luke_m]

Damn sucks for Tom he would have won the dally m !! This is the 3rd time now I really hope tom explores other treatment options for his hammy because I don’t think the physio at the club is going to help him prevent this occurring again !!

I hope people at the club look into this further because Tom is a great player but he will never Reach his full potential when his hamstrings let him down

We can still win the Comp this year if we can win 3/6 ! I’m just worried Tom will do his hammy again if we go down the same treatment path of last year we need to try something different

was that prescribed or just an urge

 

[Waz13]

Maybe we should look at Jamayne issako, good back up, great goal kicker too. Apparently on the outer at Brisbane

And can cover a number of positions.

 

[ricardo]

Isaako is a good outside back, poorly handled by Seibold. Would welcome him to the team for sure.

Hi.

If any posters have an ear to Turbo's physios/trainers, it could be worthwhile asking whether they use the Glute-Ham Raise as a strengthening exercise. This exercise is supposed to "bullet-proof" the hamstrings, and is recommended by Joe DeFranco who trains NFL& NBA players.

 

[Mitch]

Up to 8 weeks according to the SMH now, with some direct quotes from Tommy.

'It's bloody frustrating': Trbojevic faces eight weeks on sidelines

Tom Trbojevic hoped his hamstring injury would keep him out for only a month. But scans reveal it will be longer.

New filth are reporting that Tom is more likely to be out for 8 weeks and as a consequence have written our club off for this season. The way they deathride our club suggests the fear they have about our team being successful. They harp on about our winning percentage without Tom. Yeah he is a vital player and our best one but there where they underestimate us is the team spirit we have and depth and experience we have in playing without him which we did last season and won big games without him including a final. Manly will modify their game it will be a less expansive game and the game right now is about fast play the balls and kick chase and doing the basics right, without him we will need more line drop outs and make the most of chances we create. This is another opportunity for our depth to shine. One thing this side has right now is belief and that will take us forward and if we can have a fit and healthy Tom back for a run at the finals we are going to be a team that teams will want to avoid!

 

[MightyEagles]

Didn’t they provide some new treatment that was to solve his constant hammy issue?

Insoles in 1 shoe wasn't it???? They said one leg was longer than the other

That's a strange way to keep yourself occupied whilst you were out injured mate. I guess it's whatever keeps you motivated.

 

[Scorpio]

Would rather he take a few extra weeks off now and figure out what is going on, and how to mitigate these issues.

We don't want him to end up like Foran who isn't even 30 years old but has been playing busted for years.

Probably explains why he just lays down now and doesn't try and run it back. It's bizarre

Snake was the same... kick returns were the weakest part of his game.

Round 7: Bauerfeind Injury Update

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have today received the results of scans on injured players Tom Trbojevic and Dylan Walker.

www.seaeagles.com.au

6-8 for Turbo (positive - no tendon involvement, different site to last injury, same leg)
6 for Walks (positive- no surgery required)

 

[Highflier]

Didn’t they provide some new treatment that was to solve his constant hammy issue?

yes he has one leg longer than the other from memory and so they gave him some sort of orthotic to even him up .Not sure how you would judge the success or not of that

 

[Mitch]

Michael Chammas from the SMH today:


Manly's Trbo boost
After knocking off competition frontrunners Parramatta on Saturday night, Manly's week could get even better with superstar fullback Tom Trbojevic eyeing to return in the next fortnight. Trbojevic has circled the round 12 clash with Penrith as his return date.

The club could be tempted to lean on the side of caution given his history of hamstring problems and hold him back for round 13 against the Warriors.

Great news if he’s back next weekend
