Manly\u2019s NRL<\/a> finals hopes have received a double blow as Tom Trbojevic suffered a fresh hamstring injury in a 38-32 loss to Gold Coast<\/a> at Cbus Super Stadium.<\/p>\n

The luckless Sea Eagles co-captain slipped over trying to catch a Joey Walsh pass midway through Sunday\u2019s first half and cut a dejected figure leaving the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s devastating. You can see the frustration of Tom Trbojevic,\u201d Michael Ennis said on Fox League.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s gut-wrenching. It\u2019s so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n

What initially appeared an innocuous fall could have major ramifications for the Sea Eagles, whose first season under Kieran Foran is losing steam at the worst possible time.<\/p>\n

One win out of the top eight, ninth-placed Manly have lost four of their past five games and now face another stint without their talismanic, but frequently injured, fullback.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re not sure yet,\u201d Kieran Foran said of the extent of the injury in his post-match press conference. \u201cHe\u2019ll get scans.\u00a0Hopefully not as bad as the last one but naturally he\u2019s pretty disappointed so we\u2019ll wait until he gets a scan and then work out the damage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sea Eagles posted a 5-2 record while Trbojevic nursed an injury to his other hamstring earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

But the man who shone brightest during that period, back-up fullback Clayton Faulalo, is currently sidelined with his own hamstring issue.<\/p>\n

The Sea Eagles must claim victory in four of their remaining six games to finish with a winning record but have difficult clashes against Cronulla, Newcastle and the Warriors to come.<\/p>\n

Trbojevic\u2019s importance to Manly was reiterated as he and Jason Saab helped the visitors to a 10-0 lead inside six minutes on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Saab tapped a Jamal Fogarty kick down for Trbojevic to score Manly\u2019s first, before the fullback threw the last pass for his right winger to score the first of his two tries.<\/p>\n

Down eight points with 13 minutes to play, the Sea Eagles were given a golden chance to snatch the game back when the Titans lost winger Dean Ieremia to the sin bin for a hip-drop tackle.<\/p>\n

But Manly were reduced to 12 men themselves after Josh Feledy committed a professional foul as the Sea Eagles were scrambling back following AJ Brimson\u2019s 70-metre tear.<\/p>\n

In the next set, star fullback Keano Kini put Jojo Fifita in for a second try and made it a 12-point game in the last 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Tolu Koula\u2019s runaway four-pointer cut the deficit in the final minute, but it was too little and too late for Manly.<\/p>\n

The 16th-placed Titans are no chance of playing finals but Josh Hannay\u2019s faith in his inexperienced players paid dividends in a fifth win of the year.<\/p>\n

Rookie half Zane Harrison put Fifita into a hole ahead of the Queensland representative\u2019s first try and kicked through the line to help Brimson make it a 14-point game at the half.<\/p>\n

Mature-age rookie Oliver Pascoe scored two tries in the game of his career and had a team-high 41 tackles at hooker.<\/p>\n

Brimson returned a category one head injury assessment late in the game so is set to miss next week\u2019s clash with St George Illawarra.<\/p>\n
