Jake Trbojevic believes that teen Joey Walsh could be ready for NRL this year after a training shell Manly gave a glimpse into the future with their promising young halfback.
A hip flexor problem, Luke Brooks halfway through the Luke Brooks session, but Manly is convinced that their five-night Will is in line against Canterbury for an intriguing collision on Sunday.
“He played great Footy, so it’s great to have him there,” said Trbojevic.
The advantage of Brooks that was the session was the chance for Manly to train for a longer period of time with the 19-year-old Walsh in the halves next to the outgoing no. 7 Daly Cherry evans.
Walsh is considered one of the smartest young half prospects of his generation and is assessed as a long -term starting playmaker at Manly.
But since he completed the NRL previous season, he has only had the opportunity to enter the halves in the halves with the first degree team during the training.
He was considered not yet ready for the hardships of week-in-week from the first grade when Manly Jamal Fogarty signed to replace Cherry-Vans, whose approaching exit was one of the stories of the season.
But Walsh excels in reserve quality, with the last chance to train with the big weapons that the team give a glimpse into the future.
“He’s going well,” said Veteraan Vooruit Trbojevic.
“He has a lot of skill, but I think he is quite difficult, he tackles very hard. He is only 18, 19, so he is clearly fairly young, he has learned to do a little.
“He jumps in it, holds his own. If he gets a chance, whether it is this year or next year, he will certainly do a good job.”
The Manly season has undergone a makeover over the past six weeks.
The club appeared on Rock Bottom when they lost Gun Forward Haumole Olakau’atu to a shoulder problem during a loss of 20 points for wooden spoon fancions Gold Coast.
The mood was considerably different on Saturday, when the Sea Eagles confirmed a three-game winning streak with their first road over Melbourne since 2019.
“They are absolutely polar contradictions,” said Trbojevic.
Temporary employment cameras caught Trbojevic, one of the friendliest characters in Rugby League, who kicked a group of water bottles about the victory over the storm.
“I was just overjoyed and then felt like an idiot and the fact that it was caught on the camera, that was not ideal,” he said.
The return from Olakau’atu to the second placed Canterbury is another boost for Manly, but Trbojevic is on their care to be taken away, with one slip-up enough to push one side to the back of the peloton in the highest-like yacht.
“It was a nice little turn, but it was only three weeks ago,” he said.
