Tom and Jake

[Ohgeez]

You didn't see the Dolphins game on the weekend, did you?

Everyone seen he played a good game on the weekend. MW66 didn’t say he won’t still have an occasional good game he’s saying Turbo will never do it consistently again because of constant injuries.

Various commentators have said post-match (Matty Johns was one) that it looked like the shackles had been broken & a great weight had been released & we just went out & played footy against the Dolphins.

It could be that Turbo's been stressed about his various injuries for a long time, & worried about further injuries (which is often when you get injured) & maybe it was a combination of DCE leaving, it being only 3 rounds to go, playing at Brookie on a nice sunny day, freed him up mentally & let him play close to his full potential again.

Hopefully that was him giving himself a break from carrying so much angst about everything & we'll see him back to his best next season under a new captain (if not captain himself).

I did but it had a bit of a flat track bully feel about it. I also watched (unfortunately) the losses to Dogs, Roosters, Tigers. Stand by my comment. Name me the teams/fullbacks you would swap out for Tom.

Seibold got hammered but made the right call and played Tom at centre for a couple of weeks, Tom got his game fitness back without running 7km a game at fullback. That would be a good blueprint going forward, if Tom gets injured bring him back a week or two in the centres and then fullback, Kolua and Hoppa always great fill ins.
