NRL Casualty Ward: Double ACL blows stun Cowboys

A horror week for the Cowboys with back-rower Heilum Luki and outside back Tom Chester both set to miss the 2025 season after training mishaps.

www.nrl.com

Superstar fullback Tom Trbojevic will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season in a massive blow to the Sea Eagles, Blues and Kangaroos.

Manly coach Des Hasler said that scans on the shoulder Trbojevic dislocated in last weekend's 22-20 loss to Parramatta injury confirmed the club's worst fears and he would require season ending surgery.

"He will have the operation. He won't play again this year," Hasler said after the team's captain's run on Wednesday ahead of Thursday night's trip to Melbourne.

The diagnosis rules Trbojevic out of the upcoming Origin series and the end-of-season World Cup in England.

"He would be an integral part of any footy team, not just the Manly Sea Eagles but the NSW Blues, which is just around the corner," Hasler said.

"At the same time we realise it is part and parcel of what we do. Tom is so focused and obviously he is extremely disappointed but we know that he will make a great comeback."

[Jethro]

It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[The '47ers]

1:25am hmmmm I'm a little early,but ready!!

(I hate NShift)

 

[globaleagle]

I slept in!

GO MANLY


woohoo


Game day with Jorge!

Though my excitement is tempered with the game actually being on here at 2.50am tomorrow. sheesh

 

[Go manly]

Go manly says
Go manly

 

[mickqld]

Working tonight so that should save me from the aggravation of watching live ref/bunker clownery shafting us again.

 

[The Wheel]

Not sure what to expect tonight - keeping fingers crossed

 

[Disco]

Is Olam up against Harper?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Not sure what to expect tonight - keeping fingers crossed

Expect the worst, Wheel. Then anything better than that will be a pleasant surprise.

 

[aidan]

Is Olam up against Harper?

He should be up against Koula tonight as Olam plays on the left.

 

[Brookie Bob]

I hope we throw the kitchen sink at Hughes tonight, and see how match fit he really is.

Wouldn't do our chances of stifling the Storm attack any harm either.

Shut down Hughes, Munster & Smith, work hard, and we're a chance.

 

[Woodsie]

Tonight's result is in our heads .. we play with the will of last week .. and we win .

Drop our heads and play like loser's and we will be flogged.

RIP in manly .. and welcome back horhay .. play every game like its your last old mate.

 

[ALinda]

Welcome back Jorge!

Hope Foz's 250th is a happy as well as memorable one.

Shut down Hughes, Munster, Smith and Olam and just do your best. Go Manly!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

This game is tailor-made for a big statement by our players and a win will put our entire season in a different light.

Will Weekes and/or the other Tui be snuck in at the last minute? How great would that be!
Or if not we can get the job done with unfashiponables such as Jorge and DeLuis. No doubt Sipley will play his usual 15 minutes (!) so Barney Rubble will be a key man.

And as we all know, the 50/50 calls will even themselves out - obviously! - so no reason we won't be in this match up to our eyeballs.

Go Manly!

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Hope Foz's 250th is a happy as well as memorable one.

Yes indeed. Kieran Foran is a genuine Manly warrior even though his career hasn't played out in the fairytale fashion.

Tonight is exactly the kind of scenario where Foz's best qualities will be most needed (ie, a backs-to-the-wall rugby league game against a formidable and strongly favoured foe).

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Post-match headline: Manly by Kaeo!
(Well if it doesn't happen tonight it's just a matter of time) 🙂

 

[Harmless27]

Living in Melbourne, but bummed that I can't get to the game tonight. I have attended a number of these fixtures in recent years, and we have managed to nick a few close wins
I am not optimistic by any sense, but so long as we don't disgrace oursleves, I will be happy.
It won't be overly wet or cold tonight, but there has bene a fair bit of dew these last couple of weeks..... so i expect a little bit of a slick surface

 

[BOZO]

This game is tailor-made for a big statement by our players and a win will put our entire season in a different light.

Tonight We are looking for a Big Statement and expect nothing else !

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Storm and Dragons are now the teams I’d want to see us beat the most this season. Broncos too if it is somehow possible for us to match up against them in the finals.

Expecting a loss tonight but would be elated with a win.

 

[mickqld]

This game is tailor-made for a big statement by our players ......
......And as we all know, the 50/50 calls will even themselves out - obviously! - so no reason we won't be in this match up to our eyeballs.

Go Manly!

I'm still waiting for the 15% Manly, 85% everyone else we play, calls to even up. Let me know when the nrl/ref/bunker clown agenda against us has been dissolved.
