Saab

[Mark from Brisbane]

6 months , he could well be back for round 1

 

[Volley]

Hopefully Des gives Biggy Smalley a go. Probably Koula wing with big Morgs back in the centres though

 

[NREagle]

I think this was his 50th NRL game too?

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

Next year
1. Koula
2. Garrick
3. Harper
4. Turbo
5. Tupilotto / Saab back with us asap
6. Foz backflips
7. DCE backflips and accepts the Titans offer

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

So sorry for Saab in doing his ACL against the Titans.

Hopefully come back stronger and better in 2023

It was obviously God’s will.

One way to start clearing out the Mercurial 7 dross. ‘ACL’ then into early retirements.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Hopefully Des gives Biggy Smalley a go.

Yeah, I'd be really happy if Smalley was the next man up. Deserves another shot.

 

[skeagle]

smalley or Vaega will get a run I assume.

Seriously. Follow Foran out the door!!

He will move Koula to wing and bring back the pairing of Parker and Harper 😔

If Talakai plays next week (he was out with a shoulder injury this week), would Des be sadistic enough to ask Harper to mark him? Koula handled Talakai well in the second half in that game v. Sharks. We have specialist
wingers in Smalley & Vaega to replace Saab.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Did Koula play fullback coming through the grades?

 

[ricardo]

Some for Newington I believe. I think he is one of the few players who can genuinely play anywhere in the backline

 

[40 nil]

Did Koula play fullback coming through the grades?

Yes, fullback & centre afaik.

He appears to be very safe & courageous under the high ball. I don't know about his organizational skills.

Yeah, I thought I heard that, but wasn't sure. If that's the case, surely a smart coach would move Garrick back to his wing and give Koula the fullback role for these last three dead rubber games? Garrick has been admirable in that position, but let's put in a young guy who has played there and could develop into a very good FB to back up the inevitable Turbo breakdowns.

 

[Bomb Voyage]

Yeah, I'd be really happy if Smalley was the next man up. Deserves another shot.

Vaega… mate

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Disappointing for Saab, he had a good game last week and looks better on the left side of the field,

Yes I hope none of the attending medical professionals for Saab’s ACL operation are gay, bi or transgender.

We couldn’t have that.

 

[Budgie]

Was pretty weird. Seemed to happen mid air. How does that work?

I thought it was when he landed and it buckled under him…could be wrong.

As sad as it is to say, after the boycott, I felt no disappointment for Saab. He has been playing better but I just don’t want those guys at the club anymore.

Vaega… mate

Seems like Vaega delayed his own debut by being a hypocritical religious bigot.

That’s his own fault, Smalley showed some good things in his opportunity, he tried his best and I would like to see him again in a stronger team

I think it was when he jumped off the ground (then was bad when he landed again)

I have done both my knees....both without a person around me
