Jason Saab

[manlyfan76]

Lets be honest - the kid is a flyer and super in the air....once he adds that bit more power on returns/hitups along with sticking better defensively with contact, will be a Manly favourite for years to come.
Also had poor service with ordinary attacking kicks in previous games, soon as that kick went up Saturday it was pinpoint allowing him to leap and make the grab...was cheering but not overly surprised with Saab winning the contest, any time DCE lands that quality kick Saab will be s serious shot at 4 points

One can dream! With 4-5 more kgs and improved core strength he will be a very hard to handle winger in attack and defence.
Would love him to have a centre partner for a long time to get a really good understanding with.

The AFL will be sniffing around come contract time.....

 

[Kevinward777]

The kid is going to be an absolute star!

 

[Dion Johnson]

More confidence for him on today’s game, him and Turbo chasing bombs will be a nightmare for opposition.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Another good game. As soon as Turbo gets in the clear he looks for Saab then shut the gate.

Poor parker looks as though he is treading in mud on the other side, Walkers speed is going to be a welcome change

Yeah, poor old Brad is sloooooooow.

I agree that Parker seems to be running on the spot but I can't knock the guy for the amount of dirty, ugly, son of a bitch carries he makes to help us out of our own end.

Tough runs aplenty - 132m worth of them.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Great game today snaring a hat trick but that final cover tackle was the highlight just ahead of his offensive bomb disposal.

 

[Kevinward777]

Saab is a superb finisher. He makes us dangerous from anywhere on the field - he makes Turbo even better.

Can I add the amount of 1 on 1 tackles yet again that stopped NZ players in their tracks, including Sheck - plays his part....football is more than scoring points, you need a few who shut the opposition down and simply play their part - this is Parker

 

[The Who]

If only he had more speed and attacking skill he'd be a super player.
I love the way he defends.

 

[Mataiforever]

I said it then and I’ll say it again

told you so.

you only need to give a bloke who is over 2m and runs 10.6s over 100m a bit of oconfidence until he kills it. Those asking him to be dropped earlier in the season after 3 games need to have a hard look at themselves and ask if they care about continuity and consistency.

That try saver at the end said it all. Beast

Parker should bulk up further and become a second rower. His defence is too good to be missed in the 17 but i just dont see a starting spot for him when Walker is back.

If he bulked up he would be the perfect second row/centre cover.

i would resign him this year as he's off contract for cheap as depth. He's one of our best defenders and most passionate player, he just doesn't have that natural ability that excels him in attack like what we need for our modern day centre. Would do well at Blacktown and a backup for harper or walker.

 

[Hibyemama]

Saab had a blinder. whilst his tackle today won us the game (or at least avoided GP), he needs to improve his lateral movement in defence when the opposition is coming at him front on. But boy, Saab and Harper is starting to gel on that right side.

By all the reports he loves the club and it close with the trbos

i would say he would be a very formidable player off the bench. He is that good in defence. If you have him in your 18-21 your doing pretty well.

What? you expect Walks to give up his menu log pizza delivery business?

 

[Loobs]

Has Saab moved into the top 5 all time fastest badge kissers..?

He is surely loving life on the peninsula, which is great to see after what happened in the off season.

 

[Budgie]

He needs to fix his defence. Watching from the ground on the weekend and his defence is terrible. He was rushing in a taking nobody, turning in circles etc. Luckily he is so quick he can turn a chase when we are down field but on our line is going to be an issue.

Fixed!
