2023 pre-season .. photos

Wouldn’t mind if Saab even put 5 to 10 kegs on.

Was going well just before he was injured , especially with hit ups and even a bit more aggression in defence . Not that much more , [ weight wise ] if it could impact on his almost freakish running ability .

Turbo is 102 kgs, Saab is 101 kgs; Saab is also 4 to 5 cms taller.

At 101 kgs, Saab is no featherweight. Maybe another kg or two of muscle; I would hate to see any drop off in his speed, though.

Whatever Tommy was doing to bust tackles, Saab needs to learn.

Turbo , Saab and Garrick are also quite capable fielding attacking bombs as well and something that was not that apparent last season . [ even taking into account Turbo 's long absence ] , Maybe next season and some good or well placed bombs from D C E and whoever

So long as it doesn't affect his pace because that and his height are 90% of his value. His defence isn't really worth much, but his towering height and speed is.

As our old mate @BOZO says ... speed kills. Saab's already recovered from an ACL so time will tell if he's lost any pace from that. We don't want him to be possibly losing more by putting on bulk.

Remember that article after the first 4 rounds last year where Saab said his dad told him to start putting his body on the line?

I think always being tall & skinny has made him a bit gunshy.

There was a noticeable lift in his attack after that article so I think it's just a confidence thing so hopefully plenty of weights & putting on a couple or 3 kgs will help him realise he's actually a pretty big bloke!

Good to see Schu working hard on his no-look style. He's in for a huge year, no-one will know which way he went (not even the Manly guys lol)

I wonder who has replaced Donny Singe ?

I told my Tongan mate Manly stuffed up, we should be chasing Samoans not Tongans..
Then I drove off quickly!

Keep an eye on young Aukusitano,young winger from union with less than 2 years experience at league.
Already has a TT contract,has work to do to be an NRL player,but on the rise.

To wonder is to ponder ... and to ponder is the awakening of an intelligent mind ...

Also read Seibold putting a lot of emphasis in Union regarding catching and defending high kick’s which would be a big plus for Manly.

Yes,pretty sure it is spelled Sanele Aukusitino (I spelt it wrong too Aukusitano)
