One to watch: Jason Saab

[Nanadragon]

Saab coming in and letting that try happen is unforgiveable. But ive watched so many wingers (sadly for us) for years now do it. I remember watching Johnny King, and even other famous wingers never make that mistake. Just so sick of seeing such a basic mistake happen week in week out and the lesson not learnt

And Johnny could tackle!

Whilst Jason Saab has raw talent, if his heart’s not in it then it’s pointless keeping him.
Let him go to the West Tigers & request a player swap.

 

[Knight Dragon]

Gee the poor kid was terrible last night

 

[Knight Dragon]

I feel for him having a halfwit couch like Mcf**kwit.

Hope we see Saab play again next week. There's potential there.

Not sure if you can call this a rebuild season for us (It's just another lost season under weak leadership) but might as well give him every chance when there is nothing to lose.

Either he cements his spot or he can happily get that release he's after.

Watching Saab pre game then on the field he seemed to be far far away. Felt he did not have his heart and soul in it. A bloody shame. Something big is bothering him.Grow up Jason.

His body language was the same last year. He looks like a frightened child.

Maybe better suited to basketball.

Saab has got so much to learn it is not funny. Still very green and needs a lot of game time to hone any skills he might have to be a regular first grader. Sometimes it could be a good thing to be tall but when you see him being out jumped by Morris, he needs to get himself in position quickly to run and jump to catch the high balls in the in goal rather than jump at a stand still. Yes, he has a lot to learn yet as I said.

Is the kid Related to a Charlie Saab?

And Johnny could tackle!

Poor bugger ran over his foot with his lawnmower & was never quite as quick again

Yeah let him & his manager go sulk elsewhere

We have plenty of backline juniors who’ll need a run this year.
If we ran our unused juniors against our current backline I reckon they’d carve them up for speed & creativity

 

[st.phil]

Really timid , jury's out. Another shot next week otherwise Jordi comes back as he plays W heart.

Saab was poor... he’s average. His staggering height has over hyped all other aspects of his game. There’s a reason he hasn’t been in first grade.

 

[This Year?]

I'd put a line through Saab. His positioning in defence is as bad as Aitken's and he is useless under the high ball.

His dad would be loving watching him getting paid to stink it up in the red v.

Maybe he can go and play volleyball.

 

[JamesRustle]

The coach is right. He’s not first grade standard.

Well, if the coach puts someone in that isn't ready, that is a poor reflection on the coach.

 

[JamesRustle]

I hate Aitken but he made 1 error tonight, play the ball kerfuffle just b4 half time. Other than that he was decent tonight

Crucial mistake at a crucial time though. Had a great opportunity to score a try in the shadow of haf time if he played that properly... or someone had been backing him up before he got tackled.

 

[The Friz]

Well, if the coach puts someone in that isn't ready, that is a poor reflection on the coach.

Except it’s widely known that the coach doesn’t pick the side now, hence Saab’s selection. So your point is irrelevant. People on this forum been howling for his inclusion and saying coach has no idea for not picking him. On this occasion McGregor has been vindicated. He gets plenty wrong though.

 

[possm]

Failed to contest kicks

Out of position several times

Poor defender

Has size and speed though

He requires a lot of skill training

Unless his attitude changes very quickly, the club should release him

Saab is signed long term as are a few others that are more costly then him and not performing to their full potential. Yes he needs to work on his game and so the coach should organise somone to work with him on this.
