Gould just discussed TPJs injury on 100%, footy.

He's a had a career long reoccurring calf injury which happened on 2 occasions during pre-season.
Have specialists working with him so it doesn't occur again and won't be rushed back. Pressed on a rumoured round 8 return Gus said he doesn't know how long it will take.

5 front row forwards out of our top 30 which doesn't look like changing anytime soon apparently. So maybe no Pele next week either.
Playing undermanned is burning out King and Sutton Gus acknowledged as much.

My hope is Hoffman was put in the Top 30 to become a potential trade option because it's only a matter of time before we get monstered again by a bigger stronger pack like Manly

A bad calf tear can take forever to properly heal. I got a high Grade 2 calf tear whilst rock climbing, in October. In January, when I felt like I'd healed up, I stupidly raced our cat up the stairs and re-injured it easily. 2+ months of rehab now after that and it's still not quite right. Granted, I've got 10 years on TPJ but in all my years playing footy, basketball, climbing, lifting etc I've never had a more tenuous injury to try and heal up.

Ciro said similar in his presser earlier. He said T is training well though, but is a few weeks away. They don’t want him re-injuring it like you said. It seemed to be shrouded in mystery, but reading your post and what Ciro said makes it just sound the way that injury is.

Frankly I don’t think the Club has much choice but to rehab him and get him back on the field. He is not worth much as is.
Oh what Thommo/TPJ could deliver if both were on the field and fit. Anyhow it seems we may struggle to see either again for very long in 2023. So many great pre-season promises and intents from TPJ, but it’s just not happening, with crook back and calf’s . So much cap in the rehab ward.

Not sure if you've been asked this before, but is your avatar based on George Taylforth, the Dogs goal kicking second-rower from the 60's?
