Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic showed again on Saturday why he's a superstar in the making.

Despite being on the wrong side of a 38-18 loss to South Sydney, Trbojevic excelled for the Sea Eagles, scoring one try, setting up another and running a colossal 267 metres.

"He's a great young player," Manly coach Trent Barrett said.

"He tries his butt off every week."

That doesn't do his performance justice.

A week after he lacked impact in the Sea Eagles' attack against Parramatta, Trbojevic looked dangerous every time he touched the ball on Saturday evening at Lottoland.

Young Tom is the shining light along with his brother that tells me if we get it right, they will be at the heart of it. So sad that these 2 bust their asses each week and and are carrying this team.

Our great team from 2005 - 2014 became great after the ashes of the northern eagles and Manly being back together. I remember them being whacked most weeks and it was hard to watch.

I remember a young Whatmough Matai and the Stewart brothers learning their trade during serious adversity.

The team right now needs a true leader who can help the younger guys form their own dynasty.
