DCE sets a very high standard in aerobic fitnessTom needs to follow and do what DCE does.
DCE is a freak and still the fittest in the club at 34.
In fact the whole first grade squad could learn from DCE.
Took the words right out of my mouth Mark. What frustrates me is how quickly we turn on our own and like you said ,he doesn't go out there to deliberately get injured and yes it would be hurting him as well, big-timeThe thing that people forget is a player doesn’t go out with the intention of getting a season injury.
Yeah Tommy is a bit of a tissue , and that in itself is an issue for us , but he’d be just as frustrated as we are.
Now I'm curious, has their ever been in any sport played by 3 siblings when all 3 are out injured at the same time ?What about Jake and Ben?
Just starting this thread without a care in the world to his two brothers shows how heartless you are 🤣
Classic!Lol. Well I only posted this thread as I could feel some members were about to assemble a posse and head out to Ranch Turbo and lynch him for the crime of "tearing a pec in public".
Having an elongated neck probably helps as well, it's like tackling a giraffe. lolDCE sets a very high standard in aerobic fitness
Jason Taylor played about 180 games straight
its about how they play. While DCE has waaay more skills than JT there styles are very similar. Tom takes a lot of body impact. His style is robust while DCE is elusive
tom pushes through the line , taking defenders with him , where DCE tends to collapse at the line. He has shown some desire to improve in this area
not much shoulder in his defence where many halves have a wicked little hit under the belt
not bagging him , just offering reasons as to why he avoids injury. Its his style.
not a guy that gets a lot of strains either, that is hell freakish though
doesnt look to overdo the gym work either.
very durable athlete . Seems to be maturing in qld, and growing into that role. We need some of that now
Not to be contrary but I think Tom’s issue is his physiology. By all accounts he is a very professional trainer and works extremely hard to rehab his injuries. Some people are just born and/or develop in ways that are susceptible to injury. I can think of a few occasions over the years where DCE has been bent out of shape in a tackle that would see most players tear in half and he just gets back up. He’s just so durable.Tom needs to follow and do what DCE does.

The family is cursed, plain and simple.Now I'm curious, has their ever been in any sport played by 3 siblings when all 3 are out injured at the same time ?
May need @HoldenV8 skills on that one.

Late Mail in the Telegraph confirms he's farked:Has there been any official confirmation of the extent of the injury. I’m asking for a friend?
Agreed. Forget the money he's paid for a minute and think about everything Tom has gone through in his career already. Injury after injury, a ****-ton of painful rehab. But he keeps getting through it and putting his hand up for more. That takes a whole lot of courage and mental strength. The easy way out would be to throw his hands up in the air and say, "Bugger it! Maybe I'm not cut out for this." That he hasn't done that is worth our respect.Tommy will be down no doubt about it , he will be hurting more than the fans but one for thing for sure and there’s doubt about it either , Tom will fight back do what he has to and come back again.
30K for two minutes yesterday. Some people work a year for that.Agreed. Forget the money he's paid for a minute and think about everything Tom has gone through in his career already.
