Tom Trbojevic is a Legend

[Eagles4Life]

He wasn’t running freely. Last year, he seemed to have recaptured his speed and his performances for Australia indicated as much. However, I noticed when he went through against the Cowboys in rd.1 and put Bullemor over, his running gait looked restricted again. Tom’s career is one of the great shames in Manly’s history because I honestly believe he could have been an immortal, if not for the injuries. 2021 is how Tom could be on a regular basis, if fit.

I think he came back a week too early. I agree he wasn't running freely, and never strided out at any stage. However, I also believe that Manly's season was on the line, and he did what was needed to get us over that line. He will come back much fresher after the bye round.

I still thought he looked a bit busted last night. Hope it was just him lacking match fitness. Thank god for the bye.

Said, he picked up a cork. The bye should have him sweet for the Sharkies game in 2 weeks.

Yep Tom is a champ the other Manly player I believe was going to be better than the great Beaver before injuries destroyed his career was Nik Kosef what a gun he was but he could have been so much more.

The game is so cruel sometimes that's why players should grab every dollar they can.

Kosef's ceiling was sky high.

Such a shame.

The strange thing is his running style didnt seem to change over the whole game. No way he was 100% fit.

I never want to see him in another jersey. The main disappointment in his career that we never got to see him in 2021 form for a longer duration, the sort of form that would have potentially made him our greatest ever ( he still may be). His influence when on the park is unmatched in this comp. He'll never run like a "Turbo" again, but just having him there makes defensive lines second guess their target. Lehi, as good as he is, doesn't create those chances

In my unbiased opinion, that 2021 season was the greatest single season by a player in the time I have been watching the game. I won’t say how long that is, but all teams played in black and white jerseys back then.

Manly were like this with Snake at fullback. If Snake didn't play the game was usually 50/50.
