Saab the next NRL boxer.

[Woodsie]

Telecrap today .. story by Brendan Bradford

"Jason Saab is eyeing a fight with former teammate Zac Lomax as the Manly flyer aims to become the next NRL star to cross to boxing .."

 

[The Who]

I imagine he has a good jab with his long reach.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Yes just what we need! More distractions!

 

[Brookie Bob]

A Saab with a Boxer engine?

Run Forester, run!

This is excellent news, and I hope young Saab has a lot of fun in his endeavours.

 

[Disco]

Dont mind it in the off season as mong as it doesnt effect his pre season training

 

[47MVEagle]

He’s definitely of the Deontay Wilder physique but don’t know if he’d have Wilder’s power.

 

[Seagles68]

So all the talk about protecting players brains from high tackles in footy goes out the window when someone thinks it's a good idea to have some other goose smash them around the head in a boxing ring??!!

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Wow. Well I guess we do always hope and anticipate him becoming more aggressive, I expect trying to thump or get thumped should do that. I sincerely hope it is just the one fight to get that out of his head.

I'm with you - I was trying to think of a Saab/Volvo 'they're boxy but they're good' style pun, but i couldn't get my brain to kick in to gear

 

[Brocky]

Can he take alioa and half the squad with him

 

[The '47ers]

Wingers boxing, sheeesh what next?!

Hey, back it up.

 

[nightster]

Could he be another Israel Adesanya?

Yes especially as I think the players assoc wanted long term medical cover after players had retired. Which is sort of ok for some but why would the nrl feel obligated to fund ex players medical costs if they box off-season or after they retire

 

[ManlyTragic]

If Saab goes into boxing I fear he will get his panels beaten!

Just sayin’

 

[Jerry1]

Looks as much like a boxer as I do a Manly seabirds cheer leader..

 

[MadMarcus]

Hopefully more reliable than our Turbo

 

[NREagle]

First fight next month...
