Jason Saab

[Tragic Eagle]

IMO Saab looks like he is in self preservation mode much like Turbo was. He needs to throw caution to the wind and get on with playing football much like Turbo has done in recent weeks.

Bit of concern that Koula chose to have a Player option clause for season 27 in that he could be still open to keep his longer term options open
Probably is going to be a bit hard to have Turbo , Garrick and Koula all on big money together in the not too distant future
Fortunately , every possibility Turbo will be prepared to reduce his value by a reasonable margin , even allowing for some hopeful improved form on a consistent basis ongoing
Koula has to be at least up to the rating of say Staggs[ at that 750 - 800 K range ] going forward or for any and obviously crucially for Manly , an upgraded and longer term contract
Garrick would essentially have to stay on his current deal value
Cap going up so a bit of leeway for the likes of Turbo and Koula or even Garrick on again maybe current value
As for Koula 's options , hopefully if Manly can at least match any counter offer from another N R L club , should be O K on that front and doubt if Aus R U could offer more money ,
Rep opportunities in Union maybe of some appeal but will almost certainly get the same or similar opportunities in League and has already
Time again for Penn or someone prominent in Manly circles to get a T P A of appeal in whatever form to further entice him into a much longer term Manly deal

Honestly can’t see us letting him go. I’d lose Garrick and turbo before that happens
