Overview
- Tom Trbojevic left the field after his right hamstring 'pinged' in the 21st minute of Sunday’s match and Manly lost 38-32 to the Gold Coast Titans.
- Initial club hopes described the injury as a low-grade strain but scans reported by media outlets suggest he could miss four to six weeks.
- This is Trbojevic’s ninth recorded hamstring injury since 2018 and follows a two-month absence earlier in the season, raising fresh concerns about his availability.
- The Titans seized momentum after Trbojevic exited, with young hooker Oliver Pascoe scoring two tries and Gold Coast exploiting gaps in Manly’s middle defence.
- Manly sit ninth after losing four of their last five games and already lack several backs including Luke Brooks and Clayton Faulalo, leaving the squad under intense short-term selection pressure with only a handful of regular-season matches remaining.
