Comments through pre-season that he looks a lot bigger.
Was it obvious he was stronger and impacting the game more physically?
only him, stringer and walla broke a tackle it seemed.
is that because our other players didn’t get tackled…
nah, they didn’t get the ball.

Last time I pumped this guy up he went and took a bite out of someone. But I will risk it, and say he is in our top 5 or 6 important players. Gun

He was a class above tonight.

Was immense!
Far more composed, more of that and he’s close to the best halfback back in the game!

Absolute beast when he’s streaming out of the backline, but how good is he defensively now? Legit feel super comfortable when he scrapping in the defense, has improved massively in that regard over the last 12 months or so.

doesn’t play how every body expects… Dangerous.
Best two way runner at the club. (Other than Smith who is in a bracket of his own).
Runs just as hard going back as he does forward.
Class player. Lucky to have him.

Would include Saad in that conversation

Solid between the ears.
Leader tonight. Not the 1st time either.
When he gets going, others can’t help but get caught up in his wake.

Best on for mine tonight, he’s run and carry is elite. Decision making has improved out of sight too.
Agree somewhat.
I think Saad looks considerably slower going back than he does going forward.
Conor only seems to know one way and that is: 100% flat stick at all times.

Saad just doesn’t let his man off the leash.
I think he’s our best pure defender
