Really happy with Saab since his return. He has been extremely valuable

Looks a lot stronger. Been impressive. Stronger in defence, and dangerous in attack

 

[JBW]

Love him, always have. Tall, real fast and now playing with some intensity. We are a MUCH better team with him in it

If his form continues on an upward trajectory, he could be a smoky for SOO at some stage.

 

[JBW]

Would be a big bushfire amount of smoke , but yeah hes certainly playing well

Freddy was interested in Saab a couple of years ago. If he continues to develop his all round game, his physical attributes put him ahead of many players.

He's definitely a better all rounder this year and the extra size and strength and better awareness is stopping him from getting rag-dolled like he has been previously

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Did well today , again

Big improvement

 

[NREagle]

He's been really good since he returned. Definitely stronger and becoming more reliable defensively.

Def top 3 today. His aggression again was up there. Confidence at a high considering coming back from injury. Clearly stood out today.

 

[HK_Eagle]

In all the misery around our spine, Saab is a real up-lift. I love the improvement I’m seeing with him.

 

[manlyfan76]

He's only 22.
Those writing him off as a 20 yo have proved themselves to be numpties.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

One player i’m definitely glad is back & he still doesn’t look like his in second gear yet.Can’t wait till he is at his full potential.

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

His defence is a lot better that previous years. Also his yardage out of our own half is improving. Still no TV great but getting better

 

[HK_Eagle]

Yes. I know Woodside was very critical of his defence in previous years (and fairly so). However, it seems the extra bulk has given him the confidence to be more aggressive and physical… I really hope that’s not a side effect of certain substances that help bring about bulk…

You know that statement will probably end up in the DT NRL rumours section @HK_Eagle
"An unnamed Manly insider stated that Saabs extra bulk in 2023 was due to .......

First time any of my lame comments were taken seriously, so would probably need to frame the article and hang it in the wall…

So happy Manly fans turning around and giving Saab some love finally. His bounce back has been great, coming in so much more physical and aggresive on both sides of the ball, and going back to normal try scoring, line breaking proceedings as well. He is an absolute strike weapon and becoming an all round complete winger. Somewhat like a Daniel Tupou regen. Saab will be a top 5 winger in the comp very soon.

Lucky that late in the game the 9-3 Turbo was able to step up in the absence of Tommy Turbo.

At this rate he’ll soon be in 9-5 Turbo mode.
