New Winger - Jason Saab

[Shoe1]

No ... the sook just doesn't want to drive to Woolongong ... FMD ... he is a grown man .... get off your mammas teat and move into a flat you wee Jessie ...

Has a contract but expects to be able to get out of it if he cries enough and kicks enough stones, stamps his foot and pouts ...

If that is the sort of character, commitment, dedication and sacrifice you admire, and want to bring to Brookie ... Good Lord ..

Mate have you seen how treacherous the drive down from bulli is?? It’s a death trap

So is wakehurst parkway ...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

A drive from the west to the northern beaches is no easy commute either. I expect that there is more to his desire to leave St Merge than the travel time that's just the excuse.

No different to the AFB bull****

What are your thoughts on Jamie Lyon Woodsie?

Just interested

 

[Sheikheagle]

Maybe it is not the distance . Maybe it is the desire ?
Maybe He does not have the desire to play for the dragons ?
Maybe he has the desire to play for us because travelling all the way to Manly from out west is a l time consuming trip in Sydney traffic as well ?

Apparently good mates with schuey and he doesn’t want to play for a **** club.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Can't blame St Merge as I have been advocating for some time that player contracts should be honored. However an unhappy playing group rarely produces success. Griffin is a tough coach and can't afford to be seen by the rest of the playing group caving in whenever a player says he wants to walk out of a contract. I expect we wont see him here until 2022.

It seems the way the world is these days, happy to sign a contract to get a start but if something better or easier is available every excuse is used to get out of it. I'm old school and if I make the wrong choice I see it out.

I'm sure these players are happy to sign on for 3 years but if they never make the grade are happy to see out the contract, none will say this is too hard can I leave and go be a labourer instead.

Clubs aren't much better though, happy to shop a player around if they don't meet the expected goals.
Contracts should be enforced.

Interesting ... and I get your drift .. I think the difference is probably that Jamie gave it 4 years of his best, debuted at 18 and played for Aust at 19 ... before he pulled the pin .. and he also went home to the bush and was not just manoeuvring to join another club for more money

I think he was a pretty unsophisticated country lad that just found that playing and living in the big city at Parramatta .. and away from any reasonable pig hunting ... was not something he was suited to at a young age ....

He obviously became more adapted to the changes as he matured ...

BOOM!

 

[Mataiforever]

Walker has proven himself time and time again that he is a liability and obviously the club isn't worth it. Best to go and spend that money on a decent hooker.

let walker go
bring in mccullough and naden
surely we have the room

I actually don’t think Wollongong has anything to do with it. It’s an excuse he can offer up to mask the fact that he simply doesn’t like the culture there. It is a team that has sucked since 2010, they have had their fair share of drama, he isn’t getting an opportunity and might feel stale there. He has good friends at Manly who are his age coming through, who think they can do something here and he wants to be a part of it.

Then again, that could be way off the mark. I just don’t buy the travel argument.

Yep, I always thought the travel issue interesting.
Don’t wanna travel to Wollongong from Western Sydney but travelling to Narrabeen is okay.

I think he may have opportunities to carpool with some of our guys to help lessen the load

Imagine. “I earn 150,000 a year and I car pool”

“My car pool mates earn 80k, $200k and 125k”

yeah I know they are low paid in terms of nrl players, but do they really need to carpool on that money??

It's all about the vibes...!

 

[Bearfax]

I mean who wants to travel to Wollongong anyway?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

So would I. But are there any Galuvaos around at present wanting to do that? If not we have to take the next level down.

When we signed him he was the next level down!

More fun to ride together. Road trip!

Was referring to willingness to travel there SR8, not his reputation of the field.

Anyone doubting Saab, Imagine Daniel Tupou could run the 100m in 11 seconds... that's Saab. He will be an absolute weapon, I have no doubts whatsoever!

And yet he is still about 5th choice winger at the dragons, not even 5th choice at the roosters or Storm but the dragons??? Have a punt at bottom dollar maybe but let's not all get carried away

I'm glad you aren't our talent scout!

Yeah, me too and no doubt thousands of others! If I was though I wouldn't be trying to build a premiership winning team from bottom eight teams 5th choice cast offs. I don't mind us having a punt as I said but he's being set up as a miracle worker. He has the attributes but is unproven and has a question mark over his attitude.
