'It may be the best move': Gallen backs in Manly's new Turbo ploy
01:33 Share

News coming through from the Manly Seagulls. Tom Trebojevic has completed his reconditioning work from a hamstring injury. Anthony Seabold will name Trebojevic at centre on Tuesday for Manly's match against North Queensland in Townsville on Saturday July 6th. So Tom Trebojevic will be back on the field next week for the Manly Seagulls. Geez his body's caused him some grief over the years hasn't it Daryl but

it'll be good to see Tommy Turbo back for Manly. I guess the question is, does he go straight into fullback? Do they play him in the centres? What's the coach going to do with it? I read a story about how they're going to try and manage him better than what they have managed him in the past. So I get the vibe he might be going to play in the centres. I think he's an outstanding fullback. That's his position. But unfortunately, he keeps breaking down. And whether, I don't know, playing in the centres...

He may improve his situation with his hamstring. I don't know. There'll be smarter people than me know that. It's probably less running, Big Mark. I mean, you've got to remember the fullbacks probably run more Ks than anyone on the field along with the halfbacks. And they've got to do that not just game day. They've got to do it at least probably twice a week. Particularly if he stays on the same side of the field.

Which he would. As a centre? Yeah, as a centre. That's right, that's right. So he's definitely going to run a hole less metres. So look, maybe for the longevity of Turbo, it may be the best move because we want to see him in the game. It doesn't sound silly, does it? No, we want to see him in the game. He's such a star and he's so good. We hate seeing him injured. I just hope he's able to stay on the field. And his centre is...

where he's got to go to do that. Maybe it's the best thing for him. He played centre for New South Wales. Yeah, yeah, he did. But he did do a hamstring, remember, playing centre for New South Wales, I think. Yes, he did. In Adelaide, I think it was, wasn't it? Hopefully. That was before he went overseas and everything, hopefully. But let's hope he's got it right and he can stay on the field.
