The world of Rugby League was rocked by a recent incident involving Manly star Tom Trbojevic and a Channel 9 cameraman, reminiscent of a moment with the late great Shane Warne.

The cameraman, known for his work behind the lens, was not at fault for the devastating hamstring injury that has once again sidelined the fullback.

Turbo, as he is affectionately known, suffered the injury while attempting to tackle Dolphins winger Jack Bostock during a recent NRL clash at Suncorp Stadium.

As Trbojevic slid across the sideline in pursuit of Bostock, he inadvertently took out the cameraman, identified as Matt by the Nine commentary team.

While Matt walked away unscathed, Turbo was not as lucky, limping off the field with his sixth hamstring strain in a career plagued by injuries.

The Sea Eagles fell short in the game, losing by six points, as their star player faced another lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Darren Lockyer, Channel 9's sideline commentator, noted the impact of the collision, stating, "He wipes out the cameraman.

That impact has obviously hurt his lower leg.

I think it's just the contact with the cameraman that's caused the injury." With Turbo now facing up to two months out of action, questions surrounding his long-term future in the game have resurfaced, adding a layer of uncertainty to his already tumultuous career.
