Tom Trbojevic has openly addressed his recent transition from fullback to centre at Manly, acknowledging his disappointment while also recognizing the necessity of the decision as the Sea Eagles aim to improve their current performance.
Injuries have affected Trbojevic's career, and with young talent Lehi Hopoate excelling in the fullback position, Trbojevic has accepted the change for the team's benefit.
He stated, "I'd be lying to say it wasn't disappointing to hear that.
I've played fullback for a long time at this club and I love playing that position but for now I've come to terms with it."
Trbojevic expressed his support for Hopoate's impressive form and endorsed the coaching staff's decision, emphasizing that it aligns with the team's needs: "that's what they feel is best for the team and I'm happy to do what's best for the team." His candid comments reflect both his dedication to the team and his understanding of the circumstances surrounding the decision.
