We won which is good but it doesnt change the fact sivo is overrated.
He proves again and again he just isn't good enough. He is super one dimensional.
His defensive reads are absolute trash, let's in easy try's is super sus under high ball. Turns like a bus.
He is a great finisher close to the line and makes the occasional decent run in space.
He's 105kg and runs like a 87 hilux marshmallow.
Put dragons Mikaele Ravalawa's heart in sivos body you have the best NRL winger.
I may be the only one but I'm so done with his lazy ass efforts and lack of footy brain.
What you guys think?

Just 2 bad defensive reads.
I think we are the only fan base where when we win, we attack players and criticise them. With Sivo I don't think he's been the same since that ACL injury, he looks scared sometimes to put his body on the line when making a run at someone. But in saying that, he's like most Fijian wingers, they score a lot of tries but can also have bad defensive games or drop the ball. If you look at Vunivalu and Ravalawa, they are not perfect, even Semi wasn't perfect and had some really bad defensive games. It's probably why Fiji will never win the World Cup lol.
I mentioned that he might be protecting himself from major injury which equates to protecting his livelihood. Knowing that he is the breadwinner, he maybe does not want to get an injury that will costs him in not getting a good contract or worse be out of the NRL. Ergo, he is not playing with his heart but with his concern for his pocket. But can we blame him if ever this is his way of thinking? Again, we can just assume this. But comparing him to Ravalawa's hit-ups and PCMs, Ravalawa beats him easily.
Theres some fairness to these claims imo and its been showing for a while, its his lack of pace that really hurts his game.
Great power game near the line but needs to work on his game off and on the ball in our own half.
All in all i was pretty happy with the win, scrappy but we got the job done which was the important thing, now we need to get the next win and its 7/7.
Thought he played ok but lacks those kick returns he use to have and needs to improve there and yes seems lazy and not sure what to do in defense.
A bloke his size, and on the odd occasion, proven pace and strength...its so frustrating watching him play with the handbrake on. Yes he's bagged a hell of a lot of tries, but dude has all the physical ingredients to absolutely dominate that side of the field. His mental state, many of the decisions he makes, its like he thinks he's 45kg or something.
Look at the way simmonsen runs the ball back compared to sivo...theres at least 15kg difference in them...and sivo would also have the slowest olay the ball in the nrl
If we have a suitable replacement I'd drop Sivo for his stupid defensive read and lack of effort to keep Feldt from running around.
Let's be honest. Anyone could have scored the try he got last night. (and most of his tries are just as simple)
What the Cowboys did last night was fatigue Sivo.
Sivo like all players then made poor decisions because of it.
Their plan was to make him work hard in attack, continual early hit ups then make him work hard in defense especially making defensive decisions.
BA will recognise what they did and I'm sure Sivo will be made to work on that aspect.
Regular seasons all about ironing out your team's deficiencies, it's better to identify now and rectify it before finding out in September.
He'll be fine, he was taken out of his comfort zone and needs to learn from it.
Sivo must have some kind of an injury
Yes he is slow taking ball up at present but come on he's scored some fantastic tries for us in the past ......not just catch and pass
I'd rather him out there than many of the other wingers who can't even catch the pass
The fact his fend has dissipated makes me even more confident he has some kind of injury also. He previously had a brutal fend
As for the try where he went for the intercept and thought better of it also tells me at this stage the Simonsen / Sivo defending together lacks some trust and I think that's understandable they have really not had much time together
i also think if he 100% committed to the intercept he may well have got it but he put himself in that I have to do something but not sure which scenario
let's not push him out the door yet.......let's get the injury sorted and get him watching Rocky/Rambo and Terminator movies and Radradra , Grothe videos and perhaps get him to lay off the Kava
All that should help
