In a recent admission by Brad Fittler, he expressed his disappointment over leaving the Blues and leaving behind a player like Tom Trbojevic.
The Manly star has not let the outside pressure get to him as he prepares for the upcoming 2024 NRL season.
Despite suffering injuries in the past, particularly a pectoral muscle injury in the State of Origin, some have suggested that Trbojevic consider switching to centre to avoid further muscle issues.
However, Trbojevic has firmly denied this theory as he prepares to prove his worth in his preferred position.
With a hint of Australian slang, Trbojevic humorously pointed out that he injured himself while playing in the centres, making the proposed switch questionable.
He acknowledges that everyone is entitled to their opinions but chooses not to comment on them.
In an effort to avoid future injuries, the 2021 Dally M winner has worked hard in the offseason, bulking up and ensuring his body is in optimal condition for the grueling NRL campaign.
Trbojevic was a key player under former coach Fittler, but unfortunately, the team experienced two consecutive series losses, leading to Fittler's departure.
Trbojevic has revealed that he had discussions with Fittler regarding his decision to step down, emphasizing the disappointment shared by both player and coach.
