Jason Saab

[Dion Johnson]

Saab needs to learn to tackle and wrap this opponent. That opening try from Parramatta is embarrassing with Harper having the time to offload to Gutho and to Sirvo.

Yeh Harper got him there, though Saab held him upright for a couple of seconds, he had to mates coming into help him.

He needs to learn to wrap the player up because soft tries like that will make it hard to win games at the backend of the season.

We are a much better team with Saab on the park. He's not perfect but he's an attacking weopen. Exactly what you want on the wing. His carries are sooo much better now. This comment could be controversial, but I think he has potential to play Origin one day

Saab is coming along nicely. Plenty of talent and speed to burn… but up to him to apply himself with discipline and determination. Flash is great, but wanna see him continue to grow in terms of the ugly stuff (like D).

 

[Pepi]

He's a different player with the ball in hand. Prior to last year he couldn't punch through a wet paper bag. Now he's bending the line every run and winning the play the ball.
Defense needs a bit of work though.

 

[Chunkytuna]

He’s got some really decent post contact metres in his runs these days.

I think so too, especially if they play him outside Tom, they have a good connection, would this series be too soon?

 

[Remy]

He is a gun and his improvement in the last 2 years should not go unnoticed. Much more stronger and tougher with his ball carries and sets up the platform well. I'd say him and Tolu are our best yardage carriers out of the back 5. They run with intent and earn for every PCM.

As the season goes on Chez and Turbo and that right edge will open up more and find more options to give Saab space and you will see him break out for more tries and try assists. Saab is becoming an allround attacking weapon.

Gutsy and gritty performance from all the boys last night but got to say Saaby made some great runs under pressure and a definite try saver tackle with the game in balance. Great return from injury. Good to have him back.

Yes just a shame he never got any space to go on a running fest

I don't think Garrick knows how to set up space for Saab, let alone pass it to Saab

Yep there werent any outright selfish plays from Garrick last night, he just can't create anything for Saab at all.

I'm sure shapes can be coached but it is a shame that we seemingly have none for Saab besides the quite risky cut out from DCE or the similarly risky chip from the 20 from DCE.

I think saab would be getting better ball on the left side. Seem to quite often find overlaps on that side but not have the pace to convert.
