Sea Eagles coach Seibold hints Tom Trbojevic's fullback position may change with Hopoate's return.
Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold has indicated that Tom Trbojevic's position as fullback is uncertain, as Lehi Hopoate is anticipated to return from an AC joint injury. Hopoate has been sidelined for the upcoming game against the league-leading Raiders due to injuries sustained from a collision with Roosters fullback James Tedesco.
Hopoate has been unable to participate in contact drills for two weeks while recovering from these injuries. Seibold commented on Hopoate's condition, saying, "Hopefully only this week," when asked about the timeline for his return.
