Sustaining numerous hamstring and shoulder injuries throughout his career, it has been six years since Tom Trbojevic remained healthy for an entire season.
One of the best players when healthy, a fit 'Turbo' would see Manly contend for a top-four spot while an unfit Trbojevic could bring misery to the club and see them miss out on reaching the NRL Finals series.
Luckily for the Sea Eagles, if Trbojevic does go down, they have Lehi Hopoate, Reuben Garrick and Tolutau Koula on their books, all of whom can play in the No.1 jumper.
It would seem that the board and coach of Newcastle Knights don’t believe in Santa.
