Stat Attack: Saab sizzles to challenge Foxx for fastest man title

According to nrl tracker he already beat the fox's fastest time from last year this weekend gone. I saw him motoring from the other side of the paddock chasing down the intercept.

So Will Des drop him for Taufua?

But his defence is only marginal

 

[Rafferty]

Defence can be improved with work, speed is a gift.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

What to call him. Take you pick - the SAAB Gripen:

Its predecessor, the Viggen:

And its predecessor, the Draken:

 

[susan]

He showed some flashes. Good prospect.
Fans can cope with losses if they can see a future.

Whilst I agree with you,if defence can be improved with work,why hasnt the defence of the outside backs improved in many many years?

Cool he should get plenty of ball and opportunity to stretch those legs....no wait wrong team

Good question, perhaps there is just no hope for some, such a shame we have a few of them, but I think Saab is a better prospect and worth giving his chance, time will tell, the others have had their chance and time has exposed them, so time to say good bye to a few of them, actually it’s way past time.

His speed will only be any use to us if he gets the ball in his hands. We need to learn to use him either through giving him the ball in space (not gonna happen outside siro and suli) putting kicks through (long ones to utilize his speed, short high ones for his height) or if he looks for the ball himself in broken field play. Plus you're not as fast carrying the ball and his high speed effort was chasing back unrestricted.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Thats what we need.. id like to see more effort from him in defence. A few soft efforts caught my eye

 

[R3]

He’d certainly look even better outside Walker, for sure.
Memories of walker putting Aku Uate away 5 times against the bunnies still flashes through my mind..
He looks like he’d even be a good fullback sub until Turbo returns.
Speed and hands..

Funny you say that... apparently he trained at fb in the off season yet our dessie boy chooses walker who only started training there after harry turbo beat tommy turtle in manly that fateful night. Sigh

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

How fast is he running backwards?

 

[HoldenV8]

There were St Merge fans on Twitter during the offseason who were trying to tell people that the Volvo was slow.

You know, it would be nice if he got to use that speed in open space with the ball in hand and not when trying to run someone down.

 

[wombatgc]

If he can mould his game on like a Daniel Tupou, I think he’d go good.
‘But, as mentioned, how the hell is he going to get the ball from our two biggest hogs in Siro and Suli. Hopefully DCE will put away those stupid midfield bombs, and start kicking high or low to his wing.

Not that I think anyone will call him any of those....

But for me, the stand out is the Draken.

"Release the Draken!!!!"

Yup

But his defence is only marginal

Speed and marginal defence trumps poor/marginal defence and slow every day.
