We all wish him a speedy recovery, but it's frustrating to all of us (tom included).

It's like looking at your Lamborghini in the shop all year - then just when you're ready to take it out, your big brother steals it (state of origin) and stuffs it again.

Every year it seems like:

Tom: I've had a great off season, never felt better, can't wait, legs are great.
Jake: Tom trains so hard to get his body right, people just don't see it. I'm really proud.

Week two footy gods: We'll tighten that hammy thanks. Maybe next year. mwah ha haaaaaaar.

........

So his right knee was strapped after a training collision with Ben, he missed round 3 due to Hammy tightness (at the end of the rd 2 game), and last night did a mcl in his left knee.

fmd - can we get in that witch doctor that removed the curse from the Aussie soccer team?
Get John Saffron on the case.
He got the Socceroos to the world cup.
 
For those asking why Turbo didn't come off until halftime - he refused. Manly tried to get him off after he hurt his knee early - he said 'I want to last til halftime'. One tough kid.
This was from Facebook the mole

I believe he said, I want to see if I can run this out till half time.
That is what Seibold said in the pressr.

I think that unless Tom is 110% he should be rested.

You just know they’ll bring him back too early , and bingo , he’s gone for the year.

Mind you , the teams probably gone too so maybe it doesn’t matter when he comes back.
Why risk him in a game that we aren't going to win. Just really light on in forwards, have him come back after the bye. Still think we can make a run at the 8, with the comp being really tight right now.
 
If he goes down again it's time to look at other options with him.
It’s a quandary isn’t it , you just know it’s going to happen again , and next time it’ll be the season.

And then it’s the 26 season , we have hopes it’ll be the year , and bingo he goes down in game 2.

Very sadly this is leading in one direction.

This may be my exasperation and/or desperation speaking, but I don't think there's any point to resting him. Nothing seems to mitigate his knack for picking up an injury, so I'll go the opposite way: if he's available, play him. If he gets hurt (again), he gets hurt (again). If he doesn't, great. I don't think there's any science to it: more rest, less rest - nothing seems to make a difference. So we may as well roll the dice when we can.

Good point
