Jason Saab

Brooks kicks the exact same crappy kicks 5m out as well thou.

Our team certainly suck.

Pretty sure that this is Saab"s 6 th season with Manly

His first was 2021 and he played every game scoring 27 tries (Turbo's year).
Since then has copped a few injuries.
Still only 24 and he's racked up 69 tries for Manly so far.

Didn't Jason rate himself as a boxer?

Maybe he's only hit the heavy bag, and never been hit back because I just don't see the fight in him.

Fast dudes bulk up , where the true speedsters aim to keep that pace and avoid the body transformation that make them all rounders , able to do hit ups as well as score. Instead stay speedt, that is his strength that we seldom use

Most speedy dudes are smallish, ( there are striders as well ) built a bit closer to the ground like hoppa but Saabs physique , like turbo just screams out “smash me “

You would have him roving up the guts , koula as well,
Walkers on
Walkers on
But we just have no play around the ruck and mid field due to forwards at times and half hooker

Saab has issues but like kelly, suli, sirro, oku , and koula, and pribably others they get very little decent opportunities on the right side unless it from Tom and he is down
One season of playing to saabs strengths, drawing some inside men to create space, kicks that land

One thing about saabs hands in the air
10 m out he isnt trying to catch, just bat back
Get a few on the tryline before we judge if he can catch on the tryline . They are indeed different

I thought Saab started off the year incredibly well. He really improved the yardage carries, and was looking a bit better at his weak areas in general.

Then the DCE announcement occured, and like the rest of the team, his confidence dropped off significantly.

I heard from somewhat credible sources, that Saab was being considered for the Blues early in the season, but like Haumole and Turbo, this switched off very quickly.

Like most of the team besides Koula and Bullemor, I think they need to find some more confidence. I don't think that can happen under the current captain anymore. He has absolutely no hope of inspiring them, he wants to ditch them ASAP.

The next Manly doco..."Mutiny on the Peninsula"...worthy of an inclusion into Netflix.

Saab’s carries are back to what they used to be; crap. Any improvement has been offset by a regression this year.

 

[nightster]

He lacks whole hearted effort. Has potential to be a star.

 

[bringbackbeaver]

He’s rubbish. Butter fingers . And we’ve extended him and prob paid him overs . Give him to the bears and promote Faulolo

 

[double hoops]

Things he needs to improve. No question about it.

Unlike Daniel Tupou, who was a skinny Fijian winger who has bulked up over the years, Saab’s genetics simply won’t allow him to put on significant weight.

His skill is speed, but only once he’s given the space to reach top speed, & the other teams have worked this out, so he has been effectively smothered since his first couple of seasons outside Harper & Turbo.

Unfortunate.

I’m not going to argue with that 👍.. so, let’s piss him off and get a winger for the job. 🤷‍♂️ He was handy that one year in 2021 when he was unknown and had Turbo running amok to set him up. Now, he seems not the best choice for a contemporary winger.
