Turbo to Superleague?

Typical media.
Never said he is leaving but says sound out possible move to superleague.
They nearly always word it to cover all their bases.
On the chance Tom leaves he can say see I was right and if he stays he will report that and if the superleague move gets brought up he will say there was enquires made.
 
Wonder if the prospect of Manly pushing or that much closer to a premiership tilt would come into the equation for his planning for the next 3 or so years
Maybe not as far fetched as now might seem the case and with a decent run with injuries and key player availability and performance levels working in Manly 's favor for a change
Fogarty to steady the ship more effectively and consistently , the flair and ability of Walsh and Large ideally coming to the fore soon
Rest of the current backline and even possibly including Garrick[ or maybe not required ] but especially Koula to be at their best
Ola and Tent in particular and whatever capable combo of either present or up and coming forwards to get to a sufficient competitive level
Just as an example with Manly getting the better of the Dogs in the play offs last season and Dogs with only probably moderate improvement , not that far off top billing now
Anyway , may not influence Turbo "s future decisions much at all and this scenario would still obviously require him to be again be close to his best ongoing but a Manly premiership window all going well in that 27 - 28 time sequence for instance , maybe not out of the question by any means

The sadest thing will be if Turbo / Jurbo never get to taste Premiership glory at the club they’ve loved since they were little kids.

It’s highly unlikely to happen in the next 2-3 years but you should never say never .
 
Tom and Jake are as true blue as any players I can remember. This is all media speculation. I'm not worried @ all. Super League may be an option for both further down the track but another 3 years for Tommy @ least from 2026. He'll be 33 and still be able to run them ragged in Super League.
 
I can understand a recently-married player, without children, wanting to base themselves in England for a year or two in order to explore the UK and Europe before returning to Australia to settle down and start a family.
Makes sense to me.
