Dragons winger Jason Saab missed the first week of training under Anthony Griffin after informing the club he needed time to deal with personal issues.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported Saab’s manager, Mario Tartak, who has been pushing for a release for his client for months, confirmed the young winger absent for new coach Anthony Griffin’s first day in charge on Tuesday.
Saab reportedly wants out of the remaining two years of his Dragons deal to join the Manly Sea Eagles on a deal worth more than he is on at St George Illawarra.
