News Tom Trbojevic is the 2021 Dally M Medalist

All that attacking genius got them to a position 10 points behind the minor premiers. If the season had started the game Tom came back from injury Manly would have finished exactly where they are now, 4th place. So for all his wizardry, he has made them the 4th best side since he's been there.

It's too easy to get overly excited about Turbo. He runs roughshod over tired defences of 15th and 16th placed sides, but he couldn't do it without DCE, Garrick, Foran, Saab, Schuster, and so on, all who have had outstanding seasons. The true test lies ahead.

Is that the test that Nathan Cleary failed last year? No pressure Nathan.

It's a trap. Put the cleaners through the cellar dwellers at the death and take the mug punters money.

LOL "why isn't anyone talking about the Panthers??"

Basically everything he writes is either directly related to a discussion about Penrith or is an attempt to get people talking about Penrith

Who actually gives a shit how many games Nathan Cleary played with a busted shoulder? do they tally that?

 

[Jim Rockford]

Best thing about Turbo is not just what he does on the field but that he seems like a champion bloke off it as well. You definitely can't say the same for Nathan Clearasil.

He kinda is though. He's saying that his team are in the Finals while yours isn't.

Penrith was implied as in your team is finished for the year and his, isn’t.

I guess you guys are right, I wasn't looking that far into it, I revoke the credit I gave to him

All while trying to derail the thread.

Tom Trbojevic would ass-blast the frog in shitposting too.

Best form from an individual player since Hayne 2009.

2009: Hayne and the Eels knocked off the Dragons (1st) week 1, Titans (3rd) week 2, the Dogs (2nd) week 3 and made the Grand Final against a bunch of cheaters.

Keen to watch his performances in the finals and disappointed he doesn't get the chance to showcase his skills at fullback for the Kangaroos in the 2021 WC. Maybe next year.

 

[Munky]

All this PENRITH talk and not a single mention how average Turbo really is when compared to a generational talent in Dylan Edwards.

Seriously, I wish my club had a fullback with 10% of Turbo's footy instincts with ball in hand.

 

[GongPanther]

PENRITH PANTHERS!!

Who would you be prepared to lose to get under the salary cap? We're looking at about $600k here.

That display of Turbo Tom in Townsville was one of the best if not the best, i have seen being part of League for over 50 years of watching....

Against a side which was to say the least, looking forward to Mad Monday.

True in one way- But you can only play who is in front of you. I thought NQ was giving a red hot go- till Turbo blew them away. The last try after to hooter really showed commitment, Instead of taking the ball dead or even getting tackled they ,Manly let rip and only fitting that Turbo Tom finished it off. As was the run when Tom beat about six players that had a straight line chance to tackle him, that was special.

Very much this. To try and downplay what he did because it was only the Cowboys is pretty pathetic. If it was Nathan Clearasil and opposition fans were saying "Yeah it was only the Cowboys" the Penriff fans would lose their shit.
