We usually let him play until it completely tears. I’d say tightness is only a couple of weeks rest. I honestly think Tom should only play for max 50 mins a game. Rest him for the first 15 bring him on and take him back off with 20 to go. Almost like a quarterback plays. Protect him against himself

Interesting. Maybe seibs should get one of his analysts to work out how many of turbo's great moves come in the final 10-15 min of each half?
Don't even need to replace him, just hide him in a less demanding spot when his body starts creaking?

Gotta say its time we came to terms with the reality that Tom's body will not hold up to 80 minutes at fullback week after week. He played well for NSW and Australia in the Centres. We just need him on the field wherever he is and this rigidness about him playing fullback is just reproducing the same outcomes. Hoppa to fullback and when Tommy returns I'd pick him at centre and move Rueben back to the wing. The problem with our Jekyll and Hyde forwards is problematic but last night they were gassed after we kept turning over cheap possession and and started conceding six agains. Our backs were the culprits in the first half turning over cheap possession as our execution was poor.

Back to the thread title, I really felt sorry for Cherry last night. I believe if anyone could've got us a win with 7 mins to go it would be him and he bravely tried to overcome the pain and stay on but it was too much. He looks after himself (he has to at his age) and prides himself on his fitness and to see him grimacing like that was sad. I hope he can get back to Sydney without too much discomfort, get appropriate treatment be back on the field sooner rather than later.

LATEST: DCE should be sweet for next weekend after corked calf left him running differently, which increased load through his hips/back

‘There was no impact injury — and no sniper in crowd’

Tommy Turbo had tightness in lower back/left hammy — going for scans🤞🦅

 

[ALinda]

From the SMH:

"Cherry-Evans, however, told this masthead after he had touched down in Sydney on Saturday that he suffered a cork to his calf, which later caused tightness in his back.

“I picked up a cork in the first five or 10 minutes, I was running a bit differently, and as a result the back and hips were being overloaded,” Cherry-Evans said.

“That’s as simple as it was. There was no impact injury. But I’ll be very surprised if I’m not playing next week.”

Coach Anthony Seibold said on Saturday: “Tommy has a little bit of tightness through his lower back and left hammy, but the medical staff aren’t too concerned. He’ll get a scan on Sunday to be certain with everything.

“And ‘Chez’ pulled up pretty good. Both of them have. There are no real concerns; it’s precautionary with ‘Turbo’ and we want to make sure we know what we’re dealing with.”

Phew...

Looks like he did his back. He'll be ok in a few days, always happens to me 😔

I should of scrolled down haha

That's great news but I'm still not sure about Tommy. I think hoppa will be playing FB next weekend.

Dce and Turbo should definitely have the week off. Or two weeks.
We do not need either of these two injured for weeks on end if they try and play next weekend and properly hurt themselves
Dce is 36. Back spasms means he needs to get back and let the area settle down and then rehab do core etc and get this right.
Turbo has serious history. Tightness is one step from a tear. Get back, settle it down as well then strength and rehab, core etc and come back 100 percent

Honest question: Is Turbo ever 100% these days? Will he ever be 100% again?

Don't get me wrong - 85% of Turbo is probably good enough. But he will always be one step from a tear (hammy or pec) or some other injury.

There's never a wrong time to rest him, but there's never a right time to rest him either. In a sport where nobody knows who Kafka is, it's still a Kafkaesque nightmare.
