Trbojevic Injury Shock as Sea Eagles Crush Cowboys 38-6
A dominant victory has been overshadowed by a familiar and worrying sight, with Tom Trbojevic once again leaving the field injured as Manly delivered a crushing 38-6 win over North Queensland.
The Sea Eagles were in full control of this match from early on, playing with confidence, precision and intensity. But everything changed in the 13th minute. Trbojevic, one of the most electrifying players in the NRL, went down clutching his hamstring after a routine attacking play. And in that moment, the energy inside the stadium shifted instantly. There was silence, concern and a sense that this could be serious.
This is not new territory for Trbojevic. In fact, this marks yet another chapter in a long history of hamstring injuries that have repeatedly disrupted his career. For a player widely regarded as a once-in-a-generation talent, these setbacks continue to raise difficult questions about durability and long-term impact.

Despite losing their captain early, Manly didn’t lose focus. They adapted quickly, reshuffled their lineup and continued to dominate. Young winger Lehi Hopoate stepped up with two tries, while Luke Brooks controlled the game with composure and creativity. The Sea Eagles built a strong lead by halftime and never looked back.
On the other side, the Cowboys struggled badly. This was a team that had been building momentum with four straight wins, but they looked flat, error-prone and disconnected. A poor completion rate and repeated mistakes handed control straight to Manly and they paid the price.
For Manly, this is now three consecutive wins under interim coach Kieran Foran, a remarkable turnaround that has pushed them into the top four. The team looks sharp, confident and well-organized. But the biggest question remains the health of their star fullback.
Because while the scoreboard tells a story of dominance, the bigger headline is uncertainty. If Trbojevic is sidelined again, it could reshape Manly’s season and even impact representative selections at the highest level.
This is a developing story and all eyes will now be on medical scans and recovery timelines. Stay with us for the latest updates as we continue to track this situation and what it means for the NRL season ahead.
