He's on track to play for another 10yrs as it is, 6 games a year. Hopefully they mean 10 full seasons, damn that'd be sweet.

@Frogz or admin.

can we please change the name of this thread to something without AGAIN in the title. I throw up in my own mouth every time I log on to see that title.

How about tommy T Latest and only add the injury or again when he actually breaks down each time.

I can understand when Peters is coming from but if the surgery fails I see him moving to the centres and his next contract taking up nowhere as much of the salary cap

Manly should make the “business decision” to release Tom Trbojevic if his mercy dash to the US to fix repeated hamstring injuries fails.
That’s the stunning claim from premiership-winning former Sea Eagle Peter Peters after Trbojevic flew out to Philadelphia on Saturday to work with renowned injury rehabilitation specialist Bill Knowles.
Peters fears Trbojevic could be forced into early retirement if he is unable to overcome his injury history, and also believes Manly should hide him in the centres in their NRL season opener against Canterbury to protect the superstar fullback.
Since making his NRL debut in Round 5 in 2015, Trbojevic has played 121 games for the Sea Eagles. However, he’s managed to play 20-plus games in just three of his eight seasons in the top grade.
With Trbojevic, brother Jake and captain Daly Cherry-Evans taking up a quarter of Manly’s total salary cap, Peters said the Sea Eagles potentially had a big decision to make on the 2021 Dally M Medallist.

Asked by Canterbury’s Josh Reynolds on the Big Sports Breakfast Weekend on Sunday whether Manly should consider releasing Trbojevic to a rival club due to his hamstring issues, Peters was unequivocal.
“Yes, if it continues,” Peters said.
“I think it’s a business decision. He may have to take an early retirement if it keeps going.
“He’s played (121) games and he made his debut back in 2015. It’s just not enough games.
“He’s a superstar but it’s like having a Lamborghini full of petrol in the garage, but you can’t drive it because, mechanically, it’s not sound.


“It’s a huge make-or-break for Turbo’s career in the NRL. He’s 26, he’s got so many good years in front of him, if he’s fit.”
Trbojevic will become the third NRL star to seek the help of Knowles, who got South Sydney fullback Latrell Mitchell back on the field last year, and is currently working with the Melbourne Storm’s Ryan Papenhuyzen on his knee as he continues his recovery from a shocking patella fracture.
Trbojevic injured his hamstring in pre-season training prior to Christmas, but is expected to be fit to start the season.
Peters believes playing Trbojevic at fullback and forcing him to cover extra ground to deal with Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton’s kicking game is an unnecessary risk to take for Round 1.

“Certainly for game one in 2023 if he’s right, and all indications are that he will be, against the Bulldogs at 4 Pines Park. The towering bombs from Matt Burton are exactly what they don’t need to be under first-up,” Peters said.
“I would be playing Kaeo Weekes or Reuben Garrick in the fullback spot.
“Turbo doesn’t need the first-up test that Burton would bring.”
“Weekes, in the final game of 2022, in pouring rain against the Bulldogs, fielded every high kick except one from Matt Burton.
“It was a great exhibition of fullback play. I’d play the kid and put Tommy in the centres.”

^ How fitting that the file photo of Zorba they dig out features cans of CoCo Joy. That debacle (and the nephew standing behind him) pretty much sums up his "contributions" to the club.

 

[Frogz]

Why does this muppet talk rubbish at the start of every season? Your Nephew can speak for himself. Talk positive about the club you fool, you've had your snout in the trough for years and the club deserves something back, from what they have wasted on you.

I can understand when Peters is coming from but if the surgery fails I see him moving to the centres and his next contract taking up nowhere as much of the salary cap

Apparently, the shoulder surgery was successful and Turbo returned to full training before the hamstring injury occurred. Seibold has stated, regardless of his trip to the US, that Turbo will be fit for Rd One. Hopefully, the reconditioning training Turbo receives will enable him to have a full and long career.

Some of Zorba's points may be valid, but also may lack diplomacy.

As soon as it said Peter Peters,the credibility of the story ended.Although I should of stopped soon as I read that Adam Mobbs wrote the article

 

[Disco]

I wouldn't be against sitting Turbo against the dogs in round 1.

Considering we have the bye in round 2, play Weekes in the 1 v the Dogs thus giving Turbo a couple of extra weeks to hopefully the launching into 25 plus games

Fitting that Zorba is pictured with cans of coco joy. He has successfully transitioned from a club stalwart to a petty, bitter, 'dial a quote', cheap shot merchant. Tom will never play centre unless we sign Tedesco.

It's a low grade strain and he's probably already good to go. The trip to the US is more about long term prevention than rehab.

 

[Damien2812]

Peter Peters is actually correct on his remarks regarding Turbo. The club's paying him too much money to be warming the side line benches year after year. The club hasn't had any money in the salary cup for years due to exhorbit cash the club's paying DCE, Turbo and Jake.
The club can't afford to be having this every season. 😔

But even if he is, why would you say it now when he's just flown out in an effort to fix the prob? The bloke is already feeling cra^py about the situation, I'm sure. It just seems a bit of self indulgent BS. Let the bloke focus on the positives of wanting to play footy for us and worry about the ifs and maybes if things go belly up later.

 

[Will on the hill]

Tom hasn't torn his hamstring in an actual game since round 6 2020. This talk of a move to centre saving him is just nonsense. The only reason it's considered is because when he plays for nsw at centre he plays like a second fullback. Moving our best fullback away from fullback so he can play like a fullback is just sheer lunacy.
