Saab is quick

[frank stokes]

Mate on a dry track he’s gone. You clowns ever run in the mud? Fair go. That little rabbit is a beach sprint champ and can move

He still looked like he was running on a treadmill...

Exactly. He had to manoeuvre through defence and then Cook - a sprint champion and one of the fastest in the game - joined in and got him.

The DT story was Saab faster than Foxx...

...anyone reckon Cook would have caught the foxx? Wet or not...

On this track and where he came from, yes

Agree to disagree... cook wouldnt even have got near him...

Yea after he ran 25m. Not 90m like the Foxx can do every day of the week.

Regardless the track if anything it’s more reason to out run slow cook.

Cook was standing at half way when Saab was at the Manly 10 metre line.

Saab may end up being a good first grader. However, he is just a boy at the moment playing against men. I would take Jorge over Garrick any day he is ****ing useless.

I never thought I would say this but I would absolutely have Jorge over Garrick.

At least you know Jorge will get your sets off to a solid start. Garrick gets driven back in the tackle and clearly isn’t much better in defence.

At least Jorge is a good defender (when he doesn't rush in 20m)

Slow Cook? I think you are the only person on the planet who would call Damien Cook slow.

And you can be sure as shiit Gagai wouldn’t have been mouthing off like he was to Garrick if Jorge was in front of him.

I think it is obvious Jason at least has quite a bit of upside.Right now any bit of light is a good thing.

First sensible post I've read in this thread today.

Cook was the only person on that field that could have done that over 40m. Bugger bugger bugger.

 

[Technical Coach]

This observation and putting down of known speedsters being run down with the ball by players who are supposed to be slower is such a brain dead thought process.

First of all the player with ball in hand is probably losing 1 to 1.5 seconds "at least" per 50mtres from his normal speed as you only have one arm free to work with and two you are not just completely focused on running and thinking about unknown defenders on your way----your mindset is not relaxed as it is with chasing a target.

Slow players can run down speedsters often in this scenario. If the roles were reversed I'm sure Saab would do the same thing to Cook at probably a faster rate.

We have a serious player here, not sure how anyone could argue that he’s not fast enough when a beach sprinter in Cook caught him with a huge head start. How good was it to actually see one of our backs in open field, you would never see any of the other 1-5 doing that

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Now we just need to get the Saab into the garage and add a big arse Turbo and our backline starts to look a lot better.

Cook versus Saab, one on one, Manly Corso, Saturday night on the piss ! It's on.
Respective players bathrooms getting pre-checked for soap on the floor.
