Tom Trbojevic’s 2025 Season: A Tale of Brilliance and Setbacks at Manly Sea Eagles

Current Status and Recent Challenges

Tom Trbojevic is currently sidelined due to a corked thigh injury that he aggravated in a recent match against the Eels, with the club taking a conservative approach to his recovery.

The 28-year-old started the 2025 season with high expectations, particularly after an impressive post-season run where he starred for the Kangaroos playing at centre.

Impact on Team Performance

The importance of Trbojevic to the Sea Eagles cannot be understated – statistics reveal that Manly’s winning rate with him in the team soars to 60% (36 from 60 matches), while without him, it drops to just 38% (18 from 48 matches).

2025 Season Overview

Earlier this season, Trbojevic experienced hamstring tightness during a match against the Warriors, which led to a modified training program. He later suffered minor damage to his medial collateral ligament in his left knee, which resulted in a four-week absence from the game.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, there are interesting developments in Trbojevic’s career trajectory, with discussions about potentially shifting him to five-eighth position, similar to Broncos legend Darren Lockyer’s career evolution.

His value to the team remains significant, with teammate Siua Taukeiaho highlighting Trbojevic’s speed, presence, and ability to organise the defensive line as crucial assets to the team.

Season Outlook

Manly fans remain hopeful that a fully fit Trbojevic can provide the boost needed for their talented backline as they aim to climb higher on the ladder in the 2025 season.
