Hi Beaker. Basically, Sivo had 3 major involvements in this game. 27 minute mark; Wyong Roos leading 18-0 > Last tackle, Sivo snatces a bomb from Reece Robinson in mid-air & pops an off-load to Aiken who scored the first points for Panthers.
41st minute Roos' leading 18-12 > Sivo gets penalized after an accidental high shot on Roos' fullback on his kick-return exactly on the Roos' own 20 metre line. Roos' kick for touch & on the 4th tackle they spread it wide & scored a try on the opposite side to Sivo's wing, making it 24-12.
45th min mark; Roos' spread it wide on the 4th tackle & Sivo picks up a loose ball & immediately hits top gear and runs 63 metres to score without anyone laying a hand on him. That brought the Panthers closer at 24-18.
Guys, you remember that try that Semi scored against Manly @Parramatta stadium a few years ago?
Semi caught a cross-field kick from Cherry-Evans in his own in-goal area & streaked away to score a 100 metre try.
Do you remember what Andrew Johns said during the replay?
"Look at him go, he's galloping" Joey said because of the way Semi was running with that high, knee-lifting, running motion. Well that's how Sivo looked when he picked up that loose ball and ran 63 metres to score today. Very impressive specimen to see in full flight.
For me while Sivo had a fair game as the play rarely got to his side of the field, when involved he tried but was quite well marked.
The highlight of his game for me was the high ball take that he passed to Aiken for the panthers first try. The ball was put up high and Sivo ran along the side line watching how the ball was going, thing was he seemed to have one eye on the high ball and the other at the spot where it would land. It came down to Robinson around 10 metres in from the sideline and Sivo had turned and ran in to outjump Robinson come down turn round and get the ball away for the try.
If one get a video clip of it, its really something to see.
His try seemed to be at a pace where he was at ease, when the camera's came to him at the restart he was not puffing so I suggest he is a capable runner and his speed is up there with the best, Wyong's young half chased him all the way and was gaining on him until around 5-8 metres out. Whenever he ran there were more than one tackler and he was not easy to contain with his fend pushing several tacklers away.
He's got raw talent and should make the NRL without too much trouble as he learns the game more.
It's not easy to get a gauge in this grade and he's definitely behind Jennings. Wingers aren't found out enough at this level.
Has the speed at physical attributes but need to be fitter and more involved
"He signed with the Broncos first mate. But he couldn't start until Reynolds left (2027) so we picked him up for 2026. Otherwise he would have to stay in Melbourne. Everyone wins, except the Storm."
"I don't think they are as concerned about their reputations as some folk on here. I commented yesterday how good it is that it's all quiet since the beginning of November."

Us poor buggers north in enemy territory, behind the lines are mushrooms. Would love to see it.

CONTINUED. Ran out of editing time.
Scores were later locked at 24 all.
53rd minute Roos' scored a soft try & missed a relatively easy conversion to lead 28-24.
59th min > Panthers scored an eerily similar soft try & converted to lead 30-28.
Roos' kicked 2 penalty goals to lead 32-30 until the 79th minute when Talakai scored for the Panthers to win 36-32.
