Saab is quick

[Terry Zarsoff]

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

But for me, the stand out is the Draken.

"Release the Draken!!!!"

Yup

Yes, 9-5T or 9-3T are standiut nicknames. Someone is already calling him Volvo. Wrong company! I have a gripe(n) with that.

Shouldn't he be called GM ?

That's prob just the Aussie thing of 'opposite nickname world'.

"Tiny" for giants; etc.

 

[pjayz]

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

You can say that again...

 

[globaleagle]

How fast is he running backwards?

..."20-year-old Sea Eagle Saab has thrown down a challenge to the NSW representative by motoring to 37.5km/h on Saturday..."

So, 37.5Km/h apparently.

“Love the Drake(en)”.......

I thought he had a good first hit out. Missed tackle on a couple early spreads and the mistimed kick in behind but that was about it. He caught sone good bombs and he wasn’t as ragdolled on returns as I thought he might. In fact he had a couple of strong kick returns. I think Saab will be quite a handful once he gets settled and our combos build.

I genuinely wonder if he can play fullback. I would love to see him get some positional training there from Snake and Turbo. Imagine having another tall, quick unit there covering the back and chiming in through the middle in attack

 

[Shoe1]

If only his inside men can engineer some space for him, and pass him the ball.

Even in the dark days of the early 2000s Manly always found a way to get Scott Donald away for long range tries.

ah good old duck... the old fire-engine, that bloke could motor for a ranga

 

[ManEagle]

This bloke will be a star.

Can see Turbo and others busting through on edges and passing off to Saab to see him fly past the defenders.

He will be a class above once we start winning games.

Ahhh can't wait for the ol Turbo Saab combo

 

[maxta]

Just needs more game time and a few wins - has all the tools to be a great winger for a long time and did not cost the earth.....a smart signing which is a bonus also.

 

[TimmyQ]

Yeah I think I recall where he would have hit the 37.5 kph.. It was a turn and chase and at the time I thought, "Gee there's some acceleration right there.." Give the kid good ball in space and whooooshkahhhh

 

[Dan]

We just need to call the other winger 900 and it will be a great combo...

Saab Turbo 900

What I noticed in defence is that even when he stuffed up, Saab was able to scramble and use his speed to settle the situation. His defencive reads got better as the game went on.

Garrick on the other hand...

 

[frank stokes]

...not quick enough...

 

[XV-1]

...not quick enough...

Nowhere near enough.

He looks like he doesn't have a gear to upspeed like the real speedsters.

He looked like he was running like my daughter... God i love that kid but running ain't her thing...

Mate on a dry track he’s gone. You clowns ever run in the mud? Fair go. That little rabbit is a beach sprint champ and can move
