Congratulations to Jason Saab on gaining selection for Lebanon for the 2026 Rugby League World Cup.
The upcoming tournament will mark Saab’s official debut for Lebanon, and first World Cup. He was in line to represent the Cedars in 2022 before suffering an ACL injury late in that season.
The 25-year-old speedster crossed for 15 tries in 23 appearances for the Sea Eagles this season, including an eye-catching hat-trick in Manly’s 46-18 drubbing of the Wests Tigers in Magic Round.
