St George Illawarra has plunged into further chaos with rising star Jason Saab asking for an immediate release from his contract.
Five clubs including Manly, South Sydney, Wests Tigers and Melbourne are after the 19-year-old while the Warriors are also keen.
Four of those clubs have premiership-winning coaches
Saab officially asked for a release from the final two years of his contract yesterday. The winless Dragons are reluctant to let him go and have asked for an urgent meeting with Saab’s manager.
Saab was a rare shining light for the Dragons last year, scoring three tries from as many matches after making his debut in round 19.
Shoulder and foot injuries ended his season prematurely but the NSW under-18s and 20s and Australian Schoolboys representative has been overlooked for an NRL spot this year despite the Dragons lacklustre start to the year. That and constant travel from his western Sydney home to Wollongong has led to his request for an early exit.
At 199cm he stands 3cm taller than the likes of Daniel Tupou and Edrick Lee making him an obvious aerial threat particularly under the new rules where attacking players cannot be tackled in mid-air.
The Warriors have also expressed an interest in potentially loaning Saab for this season.
We should look at him
