Quicker than expected return for Tom?

Agree bro and just because the boot is off doesn't guarantee a faster return .

Its great to have a backup like him isn't it, shannon nevin ...

Are you serious Snake? Surely the head coach, trainers and medical staff take notice of the esteemed Silvertails.
How else would you explain the massive improvement in 2017?

God love Chip n Putt. Where my then 10 year old son flogs me, and tells me to lift.

Not being much of a golfer only having played a few rounds but I do seem to recall a reasonable amount of twist on the ankle when you t off.
This certainly looks good for a return sooner rather than later

I can't help thinking it is best to rest for this game, then the bye, and then come back if all is well.

Yep, playing the bottom placed team and recovering from a relatively serious injury. Give him the extra 2 weeks off and give Parker a run instead.
Won't be surprised to see him named in 21 or something
Wow, looking at that photo, didn't realise the size of Sironen and Tom if that's AFB they are next too

If he's ready...he's ready.
I don't want to take the Knights lightly and we all hope that Manly won't just 'turn up and expect to win.'
So if he can go....time to earn yer dollarydoos!

Rest him. Doubtful Tom will get origin call up this year either after teddy's blinder, he deserves to be picked again. Tom's time will come soon enough. And as much as I want him to be selected, I also don't for selfish club reasons. GO MANLY. We're going to give things a real shake this year 🙂

Taking the Knights lightly or going in expecting to win would be a mistake we've made plenty of times before. Of course don't rush Tommy back but if he's ready, let him play. We must get the win before the bye.

I hope not. We should win that one in a canter...unless we have one of those off games. But let Tom recover a couple of weeks more to be sure he's ready. Dont want to see him come out slightly lame and finish on a stretcher.

On the other hand, needle him up, strap him and get him out on the field. Get a splint and boot on Jorge too. While we are at it matai and Brett could easily play with needles, tape, skateboard knee pads and possibly a neck brace.
Brent Tate played for years with no functioning joints and a neck brace.
