[Resurrected] Ben Trbojevic hoping to follow in footsteps of big brothers at Manly Sea Eagles

[XV-1]

Good luck on Saturday Ben.

You, Tommy and Jake should feel so proud, as all of us Manly supporters are so excited for the 3 of you.

Tackle hard and have fun playing with Josh again.

I am looking forward to cheering on Saturday.

So many junior highlights of Schu getting Ben in for tries and seemed to have a great understanding, Ben will be outside Schu on Saturday....let's add to the highlight reel boys

 

[Snake]

I’m glad Des picked Ben over Harper...he’s sat on the pine for weeks and although he got a few minutes last week, it’s great to see him get an opportunity in the starting side. I think he’ll have a big game.

 

[double hoops]

Let's remember he's still a bit green in the scheme of things. Got a great feeling about 3 T's starting. Just another example of why a season is so much bigger than Ur best 17.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes he’s a bit green and we as fans will need a bit of patience , he’ll make a few mistakes that’s the learning process.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I hope it’s not a smokescreen for Harper playing. Des may not have selected Harper in the starting team to take the heat off him. Even Ben in his interview said that you never know with Des. I hope I’m wrong.

Haven't read this whole thread but I assume the Turbos are the first ever set of 3 brothers to play together for Manly. Pretty amazing achievement when you think how hard it is to make NRL.
Should be great to see!

Just thought that Ben came off the bench last season against the Dogs [ i st game ] and had a try disallowed with Turbo and Jake still on the field but maybe Jake was off . Would have to be the i st time for three brothers to start a Manly game however .

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Imagine if Luke had stuck with league?

Turbo, Jurbo, Burbo and Lurbo.

 

[stoodamire]

Great to see all the Urbo’s named in the starting line up.

Looks like Des has finally completed the Infinity gauntlet. We are now inevitable.

 

[Ryan]

Perfect world - these players being selected due to injury steal their position, and make it theirs. I honestly think Tuipulotu and Koula will have made it VERY hard for Des to drop them. If Des dropped Koula now in favour of Harper, I'd think there was something, very, VERY wrong.

Also think @Woodsie (and I agree) likes this weekends bench MUCH more. One utility - three forwards - and I agree.

What a wonderful game by Ben today.

He proved he is a first grader and image the partnership he will be able to continue with Schuster over the next 10 years.

With 2 tries and an assist i think center is his spot. Perfect build for a center, probably similar speed to tom or at least a bit faster than parker.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Question are Ben and Luke twins? They are so alike.

 

[Nordburg]

With 2 tries and an assist i think center is his spot. Perfect build for a center, probably similar speed to tom or at least a bit faster than parker.

He played second row yesterday

 

[IQofalimabean]

He played second row yesterday

I knew i shouldn't have deleted that part comparing him to steve menzies lol

 

[manly al]

Burbo has good speed as well, not much opportunity to show it in the open yesterday but sure that it will be an asset going forward and especially in the back row . jet Ski had good speed , especially for the i st 30 or so and versatile but Burbo and Bulemor seem to offer more at this stage [ and of course Bulemor ;s ability to play in the middle as well . Had to be impressed with Burbo 's "s ruck defence yesterday , not as comfortable out wider , better 2 nd rower any day of the week for mine and sure that he can be accommodated long term in the Manly top squad along with his siblings .May be a case of Josh [ Schuster ] to 6 next season unless he is also considered as the 13 and with a bit of quality depth in the backrow now and going forward .

 

[Pepi]

Ben cut a few big boys in half yesterday. I thought it was Jake for a second and was pleasantly surprised.
Not sure if he is in our first 17 this year, but could develop into a good player.

 

[robbiea]

He killed it ,congrats young man.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Great game Ben he has stepped up and his confidence will be high. His defence in the middle was strong.
