Tom Trbojevic destined to be one of the greats

[HoldenV8]

Interesting how not one of the news reports I have read about Tom's injury tell that it was the result of a high shot from Sivo.....

Season over imo. I'm also hearing the cheekbone is a club smoother and it is the hammy playing up again.

I guess we will see.

I would like Walker at fullback. Pretty much been playing like a second fullback in attack with this 14 role and has been doing it well. Keep our edge combinations as it is, no need to disrupt for one or two players being out. Just do a tit for tat change.

I agree. He is now in form as is the whole team it’s a totally different scenario than the start of the season.

But funnily enough, that is how NRL.com reported it:

Mystery surrounds Trbojevic's immediate playing future after a high shot from Maika Sivo led to the No.1 gun coming from the field in Saturday's 56-10 thrashing of Parramatta on Saturday night.

Manly prepare for Turbo's time in the garage

A recurrence of a cheekbone injury for Tom Trbojevic is likely to mean the star fullback is not risked in coming weeks, but a previous facial fracture appears to have spared Manly a devastating finals blow.

It was the only thing Sivo did all night.

The only one I had not read lol.

At least someone said it in print.

It was a unnecessary dog shot none the less.

Perspective time.
Sorry to borrow your expression @BOZO
But it seems the right one to use here.
When we win the next three matches without Turbo, how much more self belief will the rest of the team have gained? Personally, I think it will a massive psychological advantage for the team to do that coming into the finals.

They constantly hear that "Manly is a one man team". "Manly cannot win without Tom" "Manly's top four chances are shot without Trbojevic".

That may have been the case, and generally the numbers don't lie. However, Manly is a different team right now. They are playing for each other, for Des, for the club, in a way I haven't seen for a long time. They have belief in each other, and I really think that their self belief will be positively impacted by winning the next three without Turbo. Let's put to bed the thought that Manly is a one man team. We are so much better than that. Go Manly.

Well thats not too bad. If he is rested he is good for the finals and we probably wont be playing storm week 1.

A lot of conflicting (mis)information out there today.

Does anyone actually know if Tommy will actually miss any footy?
It would be devastating if he missed out on a Dally M because of this.

I believe Turbo is having a final fitness test on Thursday night in the corso vs Harry.

Turbo was quoted, " I am going to beat the SOB this time "

 

[Marto1970]

Go Koula!!

Des won't do it thou.

Is our full squad in Qld or did they only take a certain number

 

[Jay Eagle]

Even if Tom is "rested" on precaution for the next 2 or 3 weeks I think we win the next 3... even against a desperate Canberra...And I wouldn't be too worried if we dropped a game at this point.

THE ONLY THING that I'm dissapointed about is this will probably cost Tom the Dally M

Good question.

 

[Woodsie]

Get UP! .. it's only a broken face you wussie wee bairn!

 

[Stewbojevic]

I don’t understand why the club released a statement yesterday at a time that by all accounts seems it was before he had official scans.

They said he would “do everything he can to prove his fitness” for the Raiders game. Why release a statement before all the medical tests have been completed?

 

[Tragic Eagle]

They are giving him until Thursday to prove his fitness so it sounds like he is keen to play.

Sorry to do this to you old mate ... but perspective time also applies to the opposite of your desires .. if we lose all games without him .. what will that do to the collective ...

Just kidding ... we will flog 'em all ... onwards and upwards ... and as the words to that classic song say ... "They'll all be marching behind us this year"

Pss .. Lockdown is fun ..
