Manly's No.1 gun tops Turbo charged season with Dally M honour

Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic played just 15 games in the regular season but was so dominant he polled enough votes to win the Dally Medal

Even more so if he wins it, he has only played 15 games.

That would surely be a record.

His biggest threat has played 16 games including 3 with a busted shoulder. But Tom will win it, probably by some way.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

So he should he's the best of his generation

As good as Tommy is it's important to remember that our lord protects, guides and carries him

Amen

 

[Mr Angry]

Will Kennedy will be the best shark.

 

[Johns Magic]

15 games
25 tries
27 try assists

Would be 42 tries and 45 try assists at that rate if he played the full season.

Just mind blowing numbers right now. I’m not sure any player in my time has peaked quite this high, dude is head and shoulders above the rest.

When you count what he did in Origin it's just ridiculous how good he's been.

Barba’s 2012 Dally M season was 27 games, 22 tries, 22 try assists as a comparison

Hayne 2009 was 26 games, 14 tries, 19 try assists

PVL ball granted but the numbers are remarkable.

Manly play the Storm - what's the bet Turbo gets injured during the game - prob by Kafusi

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.

Probably whack him over the back of the head with a steel bar.

** Cummins yelling** "milking"
**Perenara in the bunker** "confirm Tom loses possession, Melbourne ball"
**MRC** "no charges"

This is what happens when smugness and bitterness blend

 

[yobbo84]

According to Fox Sports Lab:

Cody Walker
22 games
37 try assists
12 tries
54 linebreak assists

Pretty astounding stats for someone likely to still finish 3rd behind Tom and Nathan. Symptomatic of our season - incredible, record breaking, still not as good as a couple of others.

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

You forgot Brad Parker. How could you forget Brad Parker? Don’t f**king forget Brad Parker!

I think I may have finally seen a better play than Andrew Johns.

I know it's hard to get a gauge on season 2021 because there's 8-9 disgraceful teams who have brought shame to their ancestral lineage and it's also now touchy footy under Darth V'landys.

BUT...

Tommy is clearly a marvel. Yes he's bigger, faster and stronger but he also has THE GIFT. The magic touch and natural instinct that separates the geniuses from the rest.

I hope to one day tie Tom's shoelaces or take out his trash. We're not worthy.
