His confidence is shot. He looks like a deer in the headlights.

Yeah, hand eye coordination just isn't there with Saab.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Talau is a bit of a loss but not that much,best position is wing and with contracted guys would be a waste of funds.
Yeah,better than some we have,but unless you can magically move guys on with no cost to club then letting him go is how it has to be.
Bagging club for this is a little silly in my opinion.

But signing Saab to a very long term deal makes so much sense.

I reckon he could end up replacing Tom down the track, with Hoppa to stay on the wing.

Or right centre when Rubes heads to Perth

What does that do for the situation in front of you?
Apart from complaining about the past.
How does it fix it,you just magically disappear players off the books? When Saab resigned he was being utilised well,let's see how he goes with Fogarty next year,who would you offload him to on a multi year contract?

It is a good point, that our spine players haven't been able to utilise Saab's strengths very effectively in the latter part of the year. We've probably seen him reach full pace, maybe once or twice in the past three months?

That said, I don't know if Fogarty would be the one to unlock him. I think it comes down to Tom.

Also, in this case, I don't think the original commenter is asking if we could get rid of Saab, it's wondering why we gave him an additional upgrade from 2026 out to 2029, for very little reason. He's not exactly a core part of our game, like Paseka is. He's just a quick winger. It was a strange decision, both at the time, and in hindsight.
