SOO INJURY CURSE STRIKES. Tom probably out for season. Is Manly’s NRL season toast?

[Peter C]

I

His to lose? If Parker is right, I’d imagine it’s Reubs straight back to fb and Parker to Centre. Weekes confidence is totally shot. How is he suppose to direct our defensive line around?

I would rather Harper comeback and Reubs to fullback, Weekes just doesn't have it frankly.

Does Garrick want to be a loser centre or a winning FB?

 

[Peter C]

How do you know that? Fainu and Vaega played great games and have spent the majority of their time in BWSE.

Fainu OK, but Vaega ?, come on, all he can do is the occasional Jorge Tafua hit

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

He wasn't wincing in pain when taking a seat on the bench....I'm sayin 4-6 wks.

He's just has 72 needles in it back in the sheds. Even his hammy feel loose right now.

 

[JenEagle]

Or we need to be on the phone to Blake Taffe’s manager now

Vaega has had 1 good game, How many good games has Tui had?
You can't be serious about thinking all those players in our 1sts are genuine first graders.
(Aloai / Woods / Parker / Croker / Tui / Keppe / Tuilagi)
Ask yourself the question , would any of the players above get a run at any other club.

Sorry,I’m back for one more comment.How are those intelligent folk on ST’s that suggested TomT should move to the centres to avoid injuries,feeling right now?Quite stupid I’d suspect

Think it had more to do with his hammies.. but sure why not lol

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Yeh but Latrells shot for the season....or do you mean 2024 ?

2024

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Don't worry, I reckon Seibs is on the phone right now trying to get Daine Lawrie for an immediate release lol

 

[KNUCKLES]

Don't worry, Turbo will be fit for Origin One next year

They never should of picked him this year in the first place. Freddy keeps fingering him by picking him. Let the kid get a season under his belt injury free ffs

 

[NREagle]

Forget origin.

And Forget Manly for just a minute.

Think of how Turbo is feeling right now.

He's worked his guts out to get back on the paddock.

He would be shattered.

Thank Freddy.

Traumatic/explosive pec injury mechanisms like Tom Trbojevic’s unfortunately rarely result in a minor tear - & the use of a sling further increases concern for a complete rupture. Have to hope somehow it isn’t as bad as it looks, but not optimistic

 

[KNUCKLES]

You’d have to assume if it was something minor, he’d have stayed on the field and would potentially miss a few weeks post tonight’s game. The fact he came straight off without attempting to stick it out, tells me it’s serious.

Or he is soft

Why? He’s had a good 5 consecutive seasons to adjust. I’m sure the ongoing full pay check helps ease the pain.

We're all shattered. Difference is he gets to be shattered with a million dollars a year lol

I think the win and losses this year are academic. The question is building for the bigger picture over seasons… not just looking at this season, IMO.

 

[davohan123]

This is so devastating. I don't give a crap if NSW win or lose either. Turbo should have playing at full back in any case. Teddy offers nothing.

Turbo was getting back to peak fitness, would of been good to get a full strength side on the park consistently and finish the season strong.

How bad has teddy been
All series NSW offered nothing in attack.
Pretty undesirable and ugly watching this year.

There’s a real farrrkkking truth

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

It's now crunch time for Seibold. Turbo is gone for the season. No 'holding on' till the golden goose returns. This is where the coach earns his money. Who does he play and where?
I will beat my drum again and bring up Des. In 2019 without turbo he got the 'supporting' cast to a semi final with players like Brendan Elliott, Parker, suli, Corey wadell and Jack go jetski. Hardly an A list cast.
Last year before rainbow gate we were winning matches without Tom and were on the up.

What does Seibold do now? Prove his worth or prove his critics right.
