Here’s the latest I can share based on recent widely reported updates.
Tom Trbojevic suffered a hamstring injury in late April 2026, with scans indicating a significant strain and a likely 6–8 week absence. This keeps his State of Origin prospects in doubt for that series. [Sources note: multiple outlets reported six to eight weeks out and characterized it as a hamstring issue across the first half of Manly’s game in Townsville.]
The injury marks his eighth hamstring issue in eight seasons, underscoring a lengthy pattern of hamstring problems for the fullback. The club and pundits expressed concern about recovery timelines and his ability to return to peak form this season.
As of the latest reports, Manly’s medical staff were optimistic about a careful rehab, but the exact return date would depend on ongoing recovery progress and reconditioning, with a target to reintegrate him as soon as he’s cleared.
Illustration (example of impact): With Trbojevic out, Manly faced a tougher path in the short term and NSW Origin plans would hinge on his rehab progress and playing readiness in the subsequent rounds.
If you’d like, I can pull the most current single-source update and format a concise status snapshot (injury grade, expected return window, and Origin eligibility) with links. Would you prefer that?
