Here is the lastest now dragging Tom into this rabble as he "loses patience"
Personally a Tom fan but losing patience with his lack of game time !!
Manly superstar Tom Trbojevic is “losing patience” with the club amid a report some officials have questioned the value of his massive contract.
The Sea Eagles are in turmoil with the chatter growing louder that two-time premiership winning coach Des Hasler will be sacked by the end of the week.
The man banished by the Broncos in 2020, Anthony Seibold, has been earmarked by the Manly board as Hasler’s replacement.
But the drama on the northern beaches could be even messier had Manly caved to a request from Trbojevic and his brother Jake in 2019.
The Trbojevic brothers wanted a Hasler clause in their deals which would allow them to leave if the coach was sacked, according to the SMH.
The request was denied and the pair still signed six-year extensions keeping them at the club until the end of 2026 on deals worth more than $1 million per season.
Now some Manly officials are questioning the brothers’ value to the club, according to the SMH report which also said Tom was “losing patience”.
Tom has played just 32 games since re-signing three years ago, but the report claimed club chief executive Tony Mestrov strongly denied plans were underway to move on the brothers.
Hasler is contracted until the end of 2023 and would have earned an extension into 2024 with a top six-finish this year.
But the pride jersey fiasco derailed Manly’s season and they lost their final seven games to finish 11th.
Hasler is now considering taking legal action against the club over its role in allowing the pride jersey saga to happen.
The Sea Eagles believe they can sack Hasler now and only have to pay him a $450,000 termination fee, according to the report.
