Turbo and Origin

[wombatgc]

Imo Best just needs to get through the Raiders game unscathed tomorrow to get the gig.

Based on this season so far should be playing for Blacktown

I’m glad everyones using reverse psychology so tom doesn’t get picked for origin.watch him have a blinder for us next week.

Historically he has always aspired to play for NSW, often to the detriment of Manly. Does he need to call Madge first and rule himself out? He's not fit enough for first grade at the moment, let alone Origin.

 

[Jay Eagle]

No chance

Born from an egg on a mountain top,
Turbo is funky and never stops,
He knew every magic trick under the sun,
And then he tore another hammy.

Worst poem ever.

Joseph Sua'ali'i or Bradman Best. Or Burton.
Tom T looked way way below what would be needed for a Origin series decider.

State of Origin: NSW make inquiry over Tom Trbojevic fitness ahead of crucial centres call for game three​

NSW have made contact with Manly over the fitness of superstar Tom Trbojevic ahead of a crucial decision as to who replaces Latrell Mitchell in the centres for game three of the Origin series.

NSW have inquired about the fitness of Manly superstar Tom Trbojevic as they weigh up their options in the absence of injured South Sydney centre Latrell Mitchell.
Trbojevic made his return from a long-term hamstring injury against North Queensland in Townsville last night, his comeback launched only hours after it emerged that Mitchell had been ruled out of the final State of Origin game with a foot injury.
Mitchell will be out for at least a month and a meeting with specialists this week will determine whether he requires surgery, which would likely end his season.
Making his return in the centres, Trbojevic made 13 runs for 70 metres. He also made 23 tackles.
It is understood NSW officials reached out to their Manly counterparts on Sunday morning to see how Trbojevic pulled up after his comeback match.
He was considered one of the contenders to replace Mitchell alongside Newcastle’s Bradman Best, Sydney Roosters’ Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii and the Bulldogs’ Matt Burton.
The Blues have no shortage of options but Trbojevic will come under serious consideration given his standing in the game and the fact he has never let down his state in the past.
Tom’s brother Jake Trbojevic will captain the Blues again in the decider at Suncorp Stadium while Sea Eagles second rower Haumole Olakau’atu will also be part of the Blues squad as they look to secure the series on foreign and hostile territory.

As a Qlder, please pick him 😂
No disrespect to Tom, but geez what sort of moron would even contemplate picking him at the moment?!

 

[Rosko]

He will be picked. It makes zero sense and it screws us and NSW. So that’s what will happen.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Based on his performance tonight vs. the Cows, he shouldn’t be anywhere near discussion for Origin 3. He’s underdone and quite frankly, has been a liability all year.

However, if he does get a call from Mag, I hope he’s smart enough (for his own sake and that of the club who pays his salary) and honest enough to decline any suggestion of him being selected.

He claims to love the club and I’m sure he does. But if he runs out this year for NSW on Wednesday week, it’ll be hard for me to fully back him in the future.

… your first paragraph says he has been a liability all year ….. so why do you want him to reject origin to play for us?

 

[Frogz]

If he gets picked and says no.....misses next weeks game.... I think... But if he makes himself unavailable then its OK.

 

[The '47ers]

Wonder if they're brave/crazy enough to recall Sua'ali'i. Would make some sort of redemption story if they won.

Will be Turbo or Best. Prob Turbo.

 

[The '47ers]

Will be Turbo or Best. Prob Turbo.

Best wouldn't let anyone down that's for sure

Really disappointed in Tom. Simple he should have done what ponga did last season and said thanks but no thanks. If he had stated I'm just back I would prefer to concentrate on Manly at the moment nobody would have blamed him, but what have we got Tom putting his own personal glory above the club who pay him millions.

I hope that madge doesn't select him as on form and fitness others deserve the spot but Tom could have and should have avoided the speculation with a polite not this time thanks but no we now have this circus.

This isn't an anti soo rant it is a rant about a guy who is paid millions and we are his last priority.1 game back after another hamstring injury you should quietly decline any prospect of being selected.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Why are they making inquiries to Tom's fitness? All you have to do is watch the first five minutes of last night's game and you will know everything you need to know. Surely NSW cannot be that stupid.

[Cue NSW being that stupid…]

 

[God]

On a positive note Tom is the only one in the league that could make Garrick look midley competent at centre so Rubin's probably happy about last night's game.
