Is Axing Saab the answer ?

[Ryan]

Des Hasler isn't this dumb. I know he won't drop Saab, because that would literally show he's completely clueless, and needs help.

 

[frank stokes]

No... which is why it will probs happen...

I am starting to wonder if a losing NRL side is a tax write-off...

 

[manly al]

Dylan probably submitted a work place safety complaint when he received that pass from Saab and Dylan a bit wounded . No only being frivolous and on a serious note , think he would be very unlucky to be dropped , at least he has genuine speed and managing with in reason as a rookie winger so far . Would Tippy toes or Funa be an improvement , bit doubtful , maybe Tippy Toes but then of course Reuben 's form has definitely been a bit patchy for quite some time now .

WTF

I said in another thread that Saab is the least of our worries and should be given the year to work on his game in first grade, he is a kid finding his way.

yes he has some poor errors but he does not deserve to be the fall guy, seriously Parker Garrick, DCE, Sirro when he was not injured suli all have been playing worse and should be ahead of Saab on the chopping block.

if this happens then it’s LOL on manly this week crazy stuff

That'll be the death stroke for me this season.

Parker, Suli keep their spot (while Harper is chomping at the bit to play). Hell Tuipulotu is there, and Garrick keeps getting selected. We HAVE options in these outsside backs. Give Koula a run (look at the Chooks / Bunnies giving rookies a shot).

 

[Supreme Leader]

Probably Getski, he doesn't have to pass the ball nor will he have to tackle

Dylan complained because there wasn't pepperoni on the ball

I hope Des sees the SMH article and reads it as them telling him what to do - that is the best way to keep Saab in the team - attack Des where he is most vulnerable: pride.

and it was hardly a special delivery from Saab either

I know panthers, roosters, bunnies and even storm give young guys a run a d look how they are going....get our talent playing not these first grade pretenders we have

 

[Franko]

It was Dylan’s fault for being soft and getting injured

 

[tookey]

IF TRUE, this is a joke and shows how out of touch Hasler and his support staff really are at identifying where our problems stem from.

Saab is not the problem, I'd be sacking Parker, Garrick, Crocker, Jetski and Walker well before Saab is punted. This is an easy cop out for Hasler.

I thought that Saab has been one of our better backline players

Surely if Saab goes then Parker, Garrick, Crocker, Jetski and Walker must also be dropped?

 

[tookey]

It was Dylan’s fault for being soft and getting injured

Walker has been eating too much pizza

 

[manly al]

Needs to be a hard centre then

 

[Franko]

Walker has been eating too much pizza

I am living proof of that, I eat lots of pizza and am big and soft

But to be fair it is far easier to blood young blokes when the team is going well and morale is high.

 

[Waz13]

There is no way humanly possible that Saab can be dropped and Garrick/Parker retained. Not by a sane individual with even the slightest thread of footy smarts.

 

[Franko]

we are caught in a never ending loop then, because we are not going to win if we don’t blood them

?

 

[Woodsie]

There's 5-6 players I would have thought would cop the bullet before Saab
Just a young winger with limited opportunities.
Wonder if this will actually happen....Monday a whisper and just again today so maybe a smokey meets fire.
Saab has not been super, but a rookie winger outside of this team and the best wingers would look average.
Anyways, will wait for confo.

Not an answer to any problem ... but I said after his second game I would drop him ...
