Tommy T Injured - usa bound

OK I am going to say it out loud.

Tom sh$ts me more than any other player in our club, maybe ever.I heard the weather played a part in the decision not to play him vs Titans. Surely this can't be true, an absolute joke if it is.

The constant long face after every run, the pained look which is now in its third yea - he gets zero enjoyment from his footy it seems.

An incredible talent, he is more than half our side.

I wish he would sit the year out, next year too, if that's what's needed. Maybe have a talk to Johnny Gibbs.

The team can't function with his constant disruptions and we are wooden spooners without him.


Bob I understand your frustration. We have perhaps four or five players in our side with exceptional talent. Turbo, DCE, Olakau'atu, Schuster, Jake and perhaps Koula. If all were on the field at the same time Manly would potentially be a top 4 side. But I cant recall when this has happened. Only DCE and Jake seems to be always there (and I shouldn't curse the blokes by saying that). We had another called Manase Fainu and look what happened there. Is Manly cursed? Some suggest Samuela Fainu may join the group but I don't want to curse the kid. It is most frustrating to see the cream so often absent. Sometimes I think the Rugby League Gods have it in for us.
 
Tom is barely 50% of what he was b4 he went to the USA.
the Philadelphia witch doctor has killed Tommy.

Go back to the guy from a few years ago who used to do those violent leg bashes on the bench.

BTW - who is the fastest Turbo brother now?
Ben or Jake? 😀
 
Listening to Turbo speak after the match and his words don't match his on-field actions. If, as he says, he is not injured then it is his mental state that is the concern. He looks dejected and defeated.
I hope someone is looking at this aspect not just his physical issues.

This I think he is fukd in the head and needs to see someone about it

Perhaps South’s and Trell played extra for Knowles to screw up any opposition players that followed… :wondering:

Saw that and wondered what the hell was he doing giving the interview. He couldn't wait to get out of there.
 
On form this season Turbo is not up to Origin standards, if he gets picked hopefully this can reignite him back to the player he was in 2021.
 

The good old days
 
The overwhelming impression I get from Toms facial expressions on the field is that he doesn't want to be there.
Yep it is bleeding obvious to us .... the coaching staff is either in denial or they are addressing it and the leaker hasn't got wind of it yet, but if they are aware he should be somewhere else getting it seen to.
 
Turbo can run though obviously he can't or won't run at top pace.

But his passing is way off. Either he is too preoccupied with focussing on how he runs, or something.
Our second set coming off our line, we created space but his pass went behind Parker. At first I assumed Parker fluffed it - Nooo Parker!!! 😡 - but the fault was a bad pass from Tom.

And he did a few more that also cost us. No wonder he's looking depressed on field, he's our best player but it's just not happening for him yet.

It will come, but it's tough to watch just now.
