The Trbojevic era is over

[Rosko]

It promised so much, but in the end delivered so little.
It breaks my heart, but there it is.
Please do not sign new contracts boys, and condemn yourselves and us to more pain.
Have good lives, you deserve it. But no more of this, please.

 

[The '47ers]

Borderline cringe those 3 masquerading as footballers in 2025 and chasing another contract!
Everyone is focused on DCE and his money, next year he'll be gone but we'll still have this 2 drowning us.

My thoughts also, they seem to have all imploded at the same time.

They are killing this club and I’ve been saying this for some time.
The club now should allow the to talk to other clubs effective immediate. Jake’s brother in-law Waddell can follow them. Seibold is pleasing them to keep his job but the **** will eventually start to smell.
I the 50 years I’ve been following this great club I have never ever seen it so bad from players, coaches and administrators.
The Spoon is coming!!!

What a shame it was to see Turbo show 0 urgency to hold Chris Randall up for their last try. He just watched & put his hands on him to push him toward the ground. Terrible stuff from a guy that appears to have given up on himself as a NRL player. If he wasnt a Trbojevic he’d be in reserve grade along with Jake for his performances this year. I hope they do themselves & the club a favour by asking for a release to go win a Super League title together in 26

I noticed Jake T make 2 tackles in the first minute of the game and he was visibly exhausted after it. Athlete btw.

 

[MadMarcus]

sad but true

I’ve been saying it for years and was chased with pitchforks, especially around here.

They are Finished.

Some hard to decisions to be made in the best interest of making this club be more competitive
Eg: Bennett sacking Wally Lewis and even Arko and Fulton telling Fatty to move on ,and to Beaver letting go , clubs need to make these decisions

 

[Eagle 1]

It really is a sad day.
Sadly, what you saw today will be repeated for the next 10 rds. But they will always be held in high esteem long after there playing days are done.

Agree, but as a small aside… I don’t agree that moving Beaver on when we did worked out as the best move. I think he had much more to give and could have nurtured a new generation (and looking at his longevity elsewhere supports that). Just a small point and opinion.

I love the guys, but enough is enough
Winning is what it’s all about
Putting in and fighting for your brothers
We need a complete clean out, these guys are way past their best
Extremely overrated to be honest

For me the Tom thing is the most concerning

Ok Jake has just slowed down and he is what he is - but at least that is a known commodity

But Tom is not playing at a decent first-grade standard anymore and is prone to breaking down at any minute. To be honest he is a net negative for the team right when on the field.

Hard to disagree, and I've been a supporter of Tommy this season. Could go alright on the wing in a roaming capacity. Saab needs a spell in reserves anyway.

I just don't know how we can build out a top 4 team with a guy who you don't know if he will play, you don't know if he will be injured and you don't know which Tom you will get on the field. Even the Tom from late last year would have scored a couple of tries last night.

Any contract extension needs to reflect this.

 

[Disco]

Im not writing Tom off yet.

In 2023 many had Tedesco on the scrap heap and he has bounced back with two great years.

He is certainly out of form but for mine It looks a mental thing, he seems to have no confidence atm.

Yeah, Tommy's contract $$'s are coming down faster than a bad pokie machine.

I think Tom is just busted and wont come back to anywhere near his glory days, or his contract value. Injury after injury, trips overseas for rehab. One injury away from a medical retirement, Sadly.

It's a sad recognition, I love these blokes....but it's painful to watch and Jake is so gutsy, but so limited in the modern game
Tom looks cooked and not sure what he has in the tank, but just seems to be treading water to stay in the game
Ben has improved, but that's the issue, every time you think "here we go, Ben had come good" misses a few tackles and generally looks average again and its deflating
I seen a dynasty around these boys, but the rot started with constant injuries to Tom and Jake is all heart, but looks worn out and slow
I'll keep supporting them, but I see and feel exactly what this thread is putting out
