Saab back might be a nice cash-out alternative to Savage with better job security.
No Turbo is a concern though. Saab with Turbo = 35.2 average in 19 games, Saab without Turbo = 14.2 average in 20 games. Somehow, that drops even lower to 11.4 without Turbo in 13 games when he's been at Manly Fair sample size with both, so hard to say it's a coincidence.
You could probably make a case that Savage as a red dot might be more useful than Saab as a scorer.
Just had a quick check, of their remaining 13 games, the Raiders play 7x on Sunday, 1x the last Saturday game, 1x the middle Saturday game, and 3x the early Saturday game. He could be a fairly useful loop at least with no Thursday/Friday games.
