Turbo to Superleague?

[Buddy Love]

Seibold is the issue

sack this clown 🤡

Parramatta forums off-line today?

 

[jbb/james]

So he left at the end of 2022 or mid-season?
End of season departures - Foran, Walker, Taupau or Davey
Mid-season - Taufua or Fainu (Sione)
I am guessing Dylan Walker.

Im guessing Marty off that list
Davey leaving seemed strange at the time too

Watching back some highlights of round one v the Cowboys.

There is eight minutes to go.

We are up 42-0.

What happens next?

Everyone is gassed.

Saab takes the zero tackle. He cramps up and stretches it out.

Tom takes the 1st tackle 20 ish metres from the tryline. DCE was at dummy-half. Garrick is out of play for this with his back turned to the ball.

Bullemor takes the second tackle on the 30 metre line. DCE was dummy half again.

Third tackle. Simpkin at dummy half. Lehi takes a run over the 40 metre line.

Fourth tackle, Simpkin passes right to DCE, he passes left to Brooks who flicks it back on the right to Tom running up and it goes over his left shoulder. Can see what they were trying but didn't come off.

What happens next is the main thing for me here and what I'm going to focus on.

Tom drops it on the halfway line. Then runs another ten metres forward without the ball and his arms behind his back.

We are simple sausage roll eating supporters - what is your point?

Purdue is tackled on 40 metres out from the tryline. Tom is jogging slowly back into position.

Drinkwater breaks through Tevaga and Bullemor.

Jake and DCE are the cover defenders.

Tom is still out of position.

Drinkwater scores under the posts.

The Cowboys score again and the game ends at 42-12.

My point is that rather than just being smart, playing out the set and kicking it long (so everyone gets more recovery time), they tried a fancy play that wasn't on and then let in two very soft tries as a result.

Simple stuff like that is why we are where we are. IMO.

 

[patorick2010]

Hate on DCE, the coach and owners all you want.

The rest of them need to step up and improve as well. Especially in defence.

 

[voicefromthehill]

But the plays he was involved in that got them to the 42 point lead - what were they? Or defensive play with 17 to go where he single handedly shuts down a break to allow cover to come through and make the tackle - what was that.......

 

[BirdMan4ever]

cant say, but he was at souths

Complaining about Tom Trbojevic in a game where we won by 40 six months ago, might just be the most Silvertails thing ever.

 

[patorick2010]

Point taken.

We only won by 30 that night in the end though.

Would have been an extra 12 points for/against.

Small thing but it adds up over the season.

Another 3 yrs at 2.5 .
Here’s to good health buddy , rip in .

 

[StuBoot]

Roosters will be glad they didn’t move on for Tedesco who has reportedly had the game pass him by for the past 2 years and is about to collect the Dally M

This exactly.
I've said it before and l'll say it again - Anthony Miniechiello.
2006-2009 averaged 8 ( yes 8) games per season and was "finished"
2010 (aged 30) - 2014 averaged 24 games per season, played rep footy and captained his club to a premiership.
This is one example l know but Mini was more "washed up" than Turbo supposedly is.

Turbo when fit is the best player in the game and is better than average at 90%.
I seriously can't believe that supporters want him gone.

 

[Coops manly]

Wow so stoked with that tommy turbo is a legend and his best footy is ahead of him . Manly through and through

 

[MW66]

What, where.... I don't understand. I thought he was going to ESL?

 

[MW66]

Does this mean he can stand Siebold?

Tom Trbojevic set to stay at Manly on three-year extension worth $2.5 million

By Michael Chammas
September 19, 2025 — 1.01pm

Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic is set to knock back interest from the Super League to sign a three-year contract extension with the Sea Eagles worth close to $2.5 million.

Trbojevic’s manager Paul Sutton met with Manly general manager Peter Gentle this week to discuss his client’s future following revelations that the NSW and Australian representative had given his agent permission to explore options in England.

The Sea Eagles presented a three-year extension that would keep Trbojevic at the club until the end of 2029, when he will be 32 years old. The deal will be submitted to the board for approval.

The club also has a one-year extension on the table to his brother, Jake, who is leaning towards retiring after his final contracted year in 2027.

Tom’s deal will include a ratchet clause to allow for an increased broadcast deal from 2028 and could see him earn close to $3 million over the same period.

Trbojevic has been mulling his future during the past few months and has told those close to him that he has become frustrated with both his own fitness issues and the direction of the club.

His decision to explore options in England was due to a belief that perhaps Manly did not want him to remain at the club and were only willing to keep him as a gesture of good faith, rather than a desire from them for him to stay.

After the meeting this week, the club made it clear he remains an important part of their plans for the future.

Trbojevic has been told he will start the 2026 season at fullback but would eventually be transitioned into a different position in the backline when Lehi Hopoate is ready to take over his No.1 jersey.

Sources with knowledge of the situation talking on the condition of anonymity due to confidentiality said that Trbojevic has told the club he is comfortable with the club’s plan.
