Bailey Simonson from Raiders,,,young tall and fast

He's under contract long term unlike the other 3 mentioned...
 
Saab I would take instantly. He has a frame like Tupou and would be the 1st time for ages we would have some size on the wing. Dragons fans rate him & wouldn’t be happy if he leaves. Instant upgrade over Jennings.

Is no one else sad about losing Thompson? He’s been great for us and still better on the wing than Jennings, imo.


Not really. Means we are moving past pluggers. Thompson is handy, but he’s a player who you’d have during a transition. Once you start building, there are better options.

- Jason Saab has officially asked for a release from the final two years of his Dragons deal. The Dragons have called an urgnt meeting with Saab's manager. Wests Tigers are one of five clubs chasing the 199cm, 19 year old. (Daily Telegraph)

Saab played in the same NSW U18s side as Jock Madden, Tommy Talau, Shawn Blore & Stefano Utoikamanu

That is a quartet of talent. One more from the side would be good.

Is Saab ex Westfields Sports High?

Yup. Was mates with Talau and Stefano at school, all played schoolboys together too.

They won the schoolboys against keebra park who had Mikaele, Fifita, Fotuaika and a bunch of other NRL players. Bring the boys back together at the tigers!

Can Saab kick?

Saab, who made his NRL debut last year and has scored three tries in as many games, has not been picked in the opening three rounds and that has led to sustained interest from rival clubs.

His size, aerial threat under the new rules, and ability to find the try-line has put plenty of clubs
on alert .

He's tall can catch and score tries that's enough

My question "Can he kick goals" came across wrong
I am all for Saab
His height and athleticism is exactly what we need
The best thing is he is still very young and can improve a lot more
Sign him up madge

wow, go Corey. Massive deal for Cory if true.

I guess they've given up trying to replace Arrow?

Massive? $165l per year is about right for him.

lol I misread that sorry. I thought it was $500k a year for three years. That would be massive.
But $500k over 3 years, yes very reasonable for Titans. Still good for Corey as it's 3 years.

Yeah that would have been massive!! 3 years is a good deal for him, think he'll still struggle at the back for them.
 
There’s probably going to be a lot of disgruntled players over the next few months. So many are going to be spinning their wheels, going stir crazy, not being being able to play each week, with no CC.

Yes I can see that happening
If we did get someone like Saab, could you see him slotting strait on the left wing for us
If so, who is he going to block in in our side besides Jennings
