Turbo out for 2

I was actually surprised the club announced it. Then again it could be deception by Des.

We never knew the truth with him at the helm. Good way to mess with the other team.
 
Tom Trbojevic is pushing for an earlier than expected return from his hamstring injury. When asked about Tom’s potential return in Rd 3, brother Jake said “that is pretty conservative, he will be pushing it” (via @telegraph_sport). Rd 1 might come too soon, keep an eye out Rd 2

Manly forward Jake Trbojevic hopes his brother Tom will return from injury by round three – but that’s being “conservative.” Tom Trbojevic continues to work overtime on a hamstring injury sustained during a Manly trial game against Cronulla at Shark Park.

“If it was his choice, he’d play today,” Jake said.

“But a hammy is one of those things you can’t hide. And you can’t manage it during a game, especially him because he has to move at high speeds. They are thinking round three at the moment – but that is pretty conservative. He will be pushing it.”

Meanwhile, with forwards Kelepi Tanginoa and Taniela Paseka unavailable through injury, Des Hasler will add second-rower Corey Waddell into Manly’s top 17 following his impressive trial form and praise from former Test star Noel Cleal and Manly great Brett Stewart, who likens him to champion big man Ben Kennedy.

Waddell, 22, is a Penrith junior who played in the Panthers’ 2015 premiership-winning under-20s team and the club’s 2017 NSW Cup premiership-winning side.

West Tigers look to have their own issues, Moses Mybe looks like he has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash.
 
Moses and Nofoaluma out is great news for us.Evens up the mismatch out wide.
Mybe was great at 1 last year after he left Dogs.
Lawrence out too. Might have to get the wallet out.
