No real loss, he is a bit short for the modern day winger and his reading of the game particularly in defence is nt good. Also susecptible to dropping the odd high ball. His running of the ball though is v strong.

The perfect summation of GL.
I geniunely hope the guy goes well at the Titans, both for his and their sake.
I actually thought Sivo's defence, for his first year in the top flight. was very good. Got his timing slightly wrong on a couple of occasions when trying to absolutely murder a couple of blokes but outside that showed a good read on the game. Was left posted a few times by his centre.
As for the tries Sivo scores tries few others or maybe even no one else in the NRL scores. You don't need to give him much at all. Greg L not in that class close to the line in my opinion.

We'll said, Michael.
Our left side conceded less tries than our right: 25 (29%) to 35 (41%). Our middle defence was one of the worst in the comp at certain times.
Overall, our D needs to improve under pressure though.

Poppa, read your comments from earlier today on p.1. You forgotten what you said already?
You mentioned Sivo's defence was suspect. He's in the left. Left was our least problem.

I wasn't aware/ couldn't remember dumping this guy from our top 30.
I recall people saying his defence was suspect, but the only time I ever saw him play, I thought he was impressive, particularly in attack.
Looks like we had a preference to keep Haze Dunster (whom I know very little about).
Dunster is a centre. GL is poor in defence, suspect under the high ball. He's a damaging ball runner but more in the Bureta Faraimo mold.
no big loss!
Good luck to him, good fit for him the tits, should get a run in first grade whilst he has no chance here.
Will play 1st grade there attack will never be an issue its the defense that has held him back

Your memory is atrocious, your honour! Again.
