Tom Trbojevic has returned from America with a new method to manage his troublesome hamstrings and a career at the crossroads.
With his star fullback fresh off the plane from Philadelphia, where he worked with renowned reconditioning specialist Bill Knowles, coach Anthony Seibold rubbished the idea floated by former club stalwart Peter Peters that Manly would be better off without Trbojevic.
It wouldn't matter if Trbojevic's hamstrings were made out of paper or even if he had no hamstrings at all – just like anybody who has seen Trbojevic at his best, Seibold knows Manly will be far better off doing whatever they can to cure what ails the 2021 Dally M winner rather than doing anything else.
