Its not just the lack of speed, but he also needs to find more aggression. Hopefully his lack of speed can be put down to his injury. Also, I think motivational factors (proving doubters wrong) can translate into a more aggression - I know that has worked for Cotchin (Trengove is a similar guy).

Endurance will just as important as pace with the new restrictions on interchanging next year.

That's an excellent point as endurance is certainly one of his strengths.

Really? Trengove does NOT lack aggression. It's competitive and therefore appropriate, just the kind you want and he has in spades.

Kicking penetration as well.

Yep, good point. His kicking penetration dramatically dropped off didn't it. I had forgotten that. If he doesn't have a long leg (in god awful commentator speak) it will really impact on his effectiveness.

Close to my favourite player - think he is a gun. A number of peope have already posted that he is a natural footballer and that is his real strength. Bartel and Mitchell, Hazelby, Cross - all of them are slowish and most slower than Trenners. Speed is a great attribute but not an essential one.

He can mark and kick so well he belongs as a defensive forward. Yes, he totally lost kicking penetration on the run but his set shots were usually fine (with a few standout horrible exceptions).

But someone who can read the play, mark well, offer leadership, and tackle like a beast - a few more of his type would be fine.

It's a fine line between constructive discussion about a player's weaknesses, and blatantly making stuff.

In the same way that the Grand Canyon is a fine line.

Have you forgotten the glorious tackle on Dangerfield. There was a little bit of aggression in that! Watch the second tackle as well.

It would be one hell of a comeback if he could get back on the park and reach his initial form.

He is coming from a long way back. 2 years is a hell of a lot of mileage to miss.

I dont think he will be able to, but am more than happy to be wrong.

I reckon he will. Trenners is something special.

He's more of a natural athlete than most of the blokes on our list.

Apart from his bloody foot I reckon he'll re-adapt to the training loads and his body will stand up to them.

I think we'll all be cheering our lungs out if he gets back onto the MGC in a red and blue jumper.

Keep pushing hard Trenners, would love to see you busting your tail from the midfield into the fwd line taking a mark and slotting one from the pocket.

Hope his return match isn't an away game then! OMG I hate those white monstrosities.

But, jokes aside, he is one hell of a determined guy and he deserves (an often overused expression) some joy and success.

Haha fark the away jumper.

Would this still get 3 weeks today?

There is a definite second movement but Dangerfield kicking the ball is what caused the twisting.

And he lays exactly the same tackle on the second player who just doesn't happen to hit his head.

Head injury 2 weeks + franchise player injured 1 week = 3 weeks. If not more now.

Depends on where the mrp's wheel of misfortune lands

Just hope Trenners can get back. He would be a huge bonus
