If Turbo is out Saab stays. I wasn't trying to have a go at Saab I just think Tui offers more of what the team needs if it comes down to one of them missing out.

I think now that our forwards are starting to muscle up , and with Tommy due back , I think Saab will return to his best.. If he develops tha combo between him Koula and Tommy , it will be worth the wait

an intercept try is hardly a try no one else could of scored. I don't remember the try against Penrith. But either way I don't really remember any try scored from Saab where it hasn't been put on a platter for him as such. Normally an overlap, a kick into space or picking up a loose ball. Not once have I seen him create something for himself. If speed is what u mean by X factor, then there is plenty of that not in the NRL. He doesn't possess a step, a chip and Chase, linebreaks etc. That to me is X factor
Back stocks must be low (hello Jorge) for this guy to hold his place in the team. He can’t even convert the trick plays designed specifically for him.
Even Harper is offering more than this guy. Drop him to Blacktown until he learns how to do more than one thing (run fast).
Time for Ray Ray Vaega!

Saab 10 runs for 84m, Garrick 21 runs for 270m.
No wonder Des was giving it to Saab and the backs in the sheds at halftime. Some obviously listened.

He is only fast once he hits his stride. There would be at least 6 or 7 players in our team who would beat him In a 20m sprint from a standing start

offers nothing but his speed but only when in the clear
gets smashed when carrying the ball
and back peddles in defence and can’t tackle
should be in 2nd grade

When's Vaega ready? Whatever hasler is doing isn't preparing Saab to be at the standard required to grind out the tough stuff
Harper and Kapow are duel whipping boys for 22 .

Saab is a punish to watch just hasn’t got the smarts or ticker to be a good footballer. However, he was not afforded any protection for the short kick off and drop outs he was posted on his own where as there were 3-4 cow girls.
Well spotted, Terry. 7' 'twas meant, but 7" probably works just as well
Fair point and not defending Saab because he was poor BUT zero protection. It was 2/3 v 1 every time. That said when diffusing long kicks he caught them comfortably. Every time a bomb went up his technique catching a ball above his head was very poor. Garrick replaces him on the wing every time but Garrick has been excellent at FB. Not sure we have an alternative, even in Vaega.

yep his technique catching the high ball is horrible

Saab is Rubbish
Does anyone know when Parker is back? Is he gone for the season? I'd be happy to see Parker come in to centre, Koala to FB and Garrick back to wing. And that's no criticism of Garrick in the FB role as he's been outstanding, all things considered. I just think that shift strengthens the team overall and gives Koala some much needed time and space. He's just suffocated outside the chook.
