[Resurrected] Turbo injury, healthy, injury, healthy, and dancer - updates

[Tragic Eagle]

I frankly don't understand the continuing negativity. This young man has the potential to be one of our best fullbacks ever. He is only 24 years of age and has so much potential. He will be back in round 4. I am hoping he does overcome his hamstring issues and I am not writing him off yet. You would think some on this forum are paying his wages.

Nick Kosef had something like four knee reconstructions but still came back every time to play at a high level for quite a few seasons . Even Snake had long periods out and had to be cautiously managed but was still able to contribute in a big way over many seasons It is getting a bit repetitious now with Turbo being out on a regular basis but also look at Morgan at the Cows and the amount of time he has been out in recent seasons . Tom is more valuable then Morgan and in respect to Manly 's fortunes and surely more likely then not that he can come back and be a key player for Manly with a bit more regularity

Technically we all are. Player salaries are covered by the NRL. NRL makes money from TV rights and licensing merch. We consume this stuff.
Yep. We own Tommy ; )

Because if you are a pessimist you can never be disappointed!

Curious.....

If Saturday night / Sunday morning, hadn't happened, but he'd done it during sprint training on Monday morning, would it have made any difference to anyone's opinion? Or would someone have then found a reason to blame the training methods?

The reality is, what's happened has happened. It doesn't really matter if he did it in a race along the Corso, in his bathroom or wherever, the fact is its happened. Lets just adjust and move on. Its not the end of the world.

People want to blame someone. It is easier to take that way then just accepting bad things happen

The Sydney Roosters are expected to dodge a major bullet, with star playmaker Luke Keary likely to suit up in round one despite suffering a hamstring injury.
Keary will miss this Roosters' final trial game this weekend against Canberra but is expected to be available by the start of the season according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
It's understood there were initial fears that Keary would miss a number of weeks, similar to Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic who was yesterday ruled out for the first four rounds after suffering a hamstring injury.
My question is: How come Turbo's bathroom tiles were more slippery than those at Keary's house?

Was thinking of a smokey like Nicho Hynes from the Storm type.

Yeah, but I don't think he would be as cheap as you hope ...

It’s time for us all to move on, accept that for now it is what it is and get behind whoever is going to fill in.

Recriminations about the why’s , how’s , where’s are getting us nowhere.

Bring on round 1, and I’ll be supporting whoever it is in the number 1 jumper.

As I hope we all will be ...

One thing I do know Mark, is if I was one of the Manly squad, and was reading how all the pundits had written us of because ONE player got injured ... I would be really pissed off .. and I can bet that Dessie will be using that as motivation ...

I also know that a player with Foran's pedigree will be taking being written off as a personal insult and will be revving up the boys deluxe ....

This team .. if it is worth two bob will be on a mission with a point to prove ..

I've seen footage of him racing a bloke outside the coogee bay hotel from saturday night.

You are travelling through the 7 stages of grief.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You are travelling through the 7 stages of acceptance.

Nah just being realistic.

Am I disappointed, absolutely.

Am I hopeful, not really.

Am I going to get behind his replacement, of course.

Sorry, I meant grief, the 7 stages of grief.

Good grief is the first one, I'm still in this stage.

Absolutely.
And if the Chooks are not slightly complacent then they aren't human.
(Well, they aren't human, they're Chooks, but anyway)
So, signs are there for an upset already.

They’ll be complacent, we are well under the radar now!!

So, this feels like it's been going on for ages. Is Turbo nearly better yet?

Another 80 pages of this thread and he should be back playing again

It is the end of the world we don’t have rugby league to look forward to this year.
