The Sea Eagles can breathe a sigh of relief as Tom Trbojevic, the superstar fullback, has announced that he won't need off-season surgery.
Sea Eagles fans must be over the moon to hear this news, as they would have been thrilled to see Trbojevic flying high for the Kangaroos.
Trbojevic, who made a stunning return to the national side after six years, showcased his brilliance playing at right centre in the Pacific Championships.
Despite battling through shoulder pain during the finals, he managed to score three tries, including the first one for Australia in the tournament.
His performance on the field didn't come as a surprise to anyone, but it was a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
Trbojevic had previously expressed doubts about his chances of representing Australia in the tournament, but he defied the odds and excelled.
Despite dealing with a grade 3 AC joint tear and a sprained MCL, Trbojevic pushed through the pain to help lead Manly into the second week of the finals.
Although their season ended with a loss to the Roosters, Trbojevic's determination did not go unnoticed.
After joking about his potential to score even more tries in the final, Trbojevic reassured fans that he won't need surgery and will be ready to join his teammates for pre-season training after a well-deserved break.
In his own words, "It's all sweet now," and he will focus on resting up for a strong comeback.
