Manly Sea Eagles have been hit by the news star fullback Tom Trbojevic is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder in the 22-20 loss to Parramatta on Friday night.

"He takes it very hard," Manly coach Des Haslet said. "He blames himself a lot. But he is just having one of those runs at the moment. He'll bounce back."
Meanwhile it is also bad news for New South Wales ahead of the State of Origin series against Queensland. Trbojevic will miss all three games and it is another blow for coach Brad Fittler.
The Blues will already be missing some big names for part of, if not all of the series, and Trbojevic can now be added to that list of walking wounded.
"Hopefully Latrell (Mitchell) will be fit and play a part in the Origin series somewhere, but as it seems at the moment, Tom won't be," Fittler said. "They're big personalities, and that's what State of Origin is all about. (Trbojevic's injury) is awful (news).”
