We probably lose a little with catching bombs to score (valiant effort from Tui yesterday), but I think we really gain more through the Jorge-like power runs from the back. They help set a platform for set momentum and Saab really suffers in that department.
I think the last few weeks have proven why the club signed Tuipulotu for 4 years.He may not have the X factor Saab has but as you said,his strong carries in their own half have really helped,which should take some pressure off TomT to perform such tasks and more importantly,his defence has been fine.
