Tom Trbojevic destined to be one of the greats

[ManEagle]

He is being marked very heavily, as soon as the ball is going his direction a defender is sprinting out of the line to get to him as the ball arrives.
We are just not taking advantage of that attention as yet, hopefully we work it out and use Turbo as a decoy every now and then.

 

[Shoe1]

Despite not looking 100% against the Tigers, he still had:

230 run metres
64 post-contact metres
1 Try assist
1 Line break assist
5 tackle breaks
3 offloads

Exactly, matchwinning stats. 9/10 is good enough, and he’ll build to 10/10 soon enough.

 

[Kalvin]

Clearly he looked injured last week... looks really injured tonight... I don't understand it? Is he going to miraculously heal whilst playing games?!

 

[chuckee]

Garrick has been the better fullback for us this year. Not sure why Tom wasn’t taken off early or shifted to centre.

 

[Ryan]

Honestly, Des is hoping he carries the weight of the team on his back, and covers for his coaching deficiencies. Same as last year. We are a one trick pony. The rest of the cattle we have are slow / immobile / fragile.

As I stated through the week, our roster is completely unbalanced. There is some individual brilliance, but even that;s inconsistent.

We won't be making the 8. Not with Des out of date coaching systems in place.

DES IS A FUUUKWITT

tom is clear injured. STOP PLAYING HIM!!!!!@

Until he is 100% we need him towards the end of season

 

[Rocky]

I asked the same question during the week. Fckn stupid

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Des has lost the plot.

 

[Rocky]

Ok i can sort of understand Tom starting the game. We are desperate.

But to keep him on when down over 20 points is just a terrible decision

 

[court83]

I don’t agree with the des bashing, I still wouldn’t have any other coach for the time being, but Tom needs to go and get better… I don’t want to see Tom being cut down by every 1 on 1 tackle that comes his way, he’s better than that.. if it’s a season, fine.. take the season.. but this is embarrassing.. he is getting manhandled by Adam Reynolds 1 on 1 multiple times… this is the bloke that was breaking 9 tackles to score a try last year.. get him off, get him surgery (or just rehab) and stop destroying the legend he busted his backside to build up last season

 

[JBW]

If he plays Origin it'll be faricial.

 

[Heckenberg]

Is there a chance it’s tom being stubborn. If he can’t run he should ask to come off. There was a good five tries tonight where he didn’t even bother with cover defence coz he couldn’t go past a jog. Put Koula or Garrick back there and at least they put up a last line of defence

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

As well as asking why is Tom playing, I'd also like to know what game he and the team are playing. Because it ain't rugby league.

 

[Kalvin]

Just interviewed by JT and reckons it's not his knee and will be right for next week and origin???

I now believe he must be back on the drink!

It's the system. Everyone hailed him the second coming after Barrett, but quite frankly, he's out-of-touch, and out-of-date - and it appears the players aren't either on board, or his coaching style sucks

I think we need to get him drug tested after that comment..

Tom should NOT be playing Origin. He needs to put his club first this season, sorry. Jamie Lyon was class and did this for us. I hope he doesn't go the selfish play.

 

[mave]

He shouldn't be anywhere near Origin, given form, and injury issues.

Perhaps Turbo should have a sprint against Harry again.
That may tell him to get fit again.

 

[wedgetail eagle]

They should take round the hat & send Turbo to the Hamstring Whisperer in the US, too.
