Another Pauli Pauli / Liki Liki?
Question, do we consider JSaf for first grade, based on form, ability etc IF he didn't have a brother named DSaf, or are we pandering to a "take us both or none" attitude.
Question 2. Because we pander does that mean other players, King, lose a bit of heart because they see other obstacles in way of grade.
Question 3. The talk of "play us both together" is all about one dragging the other along.
Brought this up as I don't believe either Safiti is playing as they should/could and wonder if selection is based on not upsetting brothers, if JSaf wants to play 1sts and play with brother he should perform accordingly. Have no doubt DSaf deserves first grade spot, JSaf??? On current form/performance
Jsaf been a huge flop in firsts this year and apparently didn't have a go in nsw cup. Attitude quickly becoming a concern
Yeah Honestly I don't think Ah Mau is that much better than anyone we have, sure you could argue he's better but I'm just pointing out in the scheme of things Ah Mau isn't that big an upgrade. for me He's no better than Dan or Herm, but better than Jake & King (for now). I actually rate King he hits really well but he's a bit undersized.So Ah Mau is of a similar quality to King (who’s currently not in first grade and never gets named on the extended bench) and Jacob Saifiti (who can’t cement a regular first grade bench spot despite only having competition of the old over the hill Heighington and Buhrer who’s playing completely out of position in the middle third)?
Ok. Agree to disagree. Big time.
If id the same stats for Heighington and Lillyman over the same minutes they are behind jacob.
No they aren't.
Besides, if he's playing short minutes he should be going harder.
Lillyman 192 minutes, 41 runs for 366m, 91 tackles 5 missed
Jsaf 93 minuts 16 runs for 165m, 42 tackles 3 missed
that's foxsports.
even on a per minute basis jsaf is behind
4 runs in 28 minutes off the bench is having a laugh
His brother showed what can be done in a short burst n the weekend.
They will both get better as the season goes on much like last yearNow i think both the twins should be doing better, though saying Jacob is a huge flop is harsh when by each minute he's numbers are on par or better than 2 guys in front of him.
They will both get better as the season goes on much like last year
If we compare Jsaf round 1 v Warriors to Jsaf round 26 v Sharks you'd think he was a different player.
I do t see him as a bench forward and feel he is best as a starting 40-50 minute prop. Maybe thats his issue?Dan wasn't even bad on Saturday, he wasn't as impactful as he has been at his best, but he worked hard & made solid runs, he tried to hurt a couple guys in defence too.
Dragons page claiming he wil sign a 3-4 year deal with us. Dragons couldnt match our offer, nothing official though
