And all the while playing for a team that never passes the ball.

Acknowledgment needed for Sivo, despite his mainly flaws, he now holds he records for shortest time to reach 100 tries in the NRL era - doing it in 114 games (beating Nathan Blacklocks record of 115)

Sivo has a lot of flaws to his game, but some of the tries he scored were absolute classics.

Even his third try yesterday was vintage Sivo - pushing off a defender as if the defender weighed nothing.

He's been fun.

I'm not sure he has as many flaws to his game as people continually make out. Once again, he has been a victim of playing in a shite coached team, just like many others in our squad.
In that respect, his achievements are even more astounding.
To break this record tbh is incredible taking all that into account.

I think he can be a little disinterested, and make some poor reads in defence.

However, he is usually safe under the high ball, and exciting 20 metres out.

I've enjoyed watching him play, more often than not.

his greatest was the winning try against Melbourne a few years back when he plucked the ball from a bomb and still had 10 metres to get to the line…

Sivo is never going to be a fast, athletic merkin. He’s a beefcake and a strong try finisher, with suspect defence because of his lack of speed. You take the good with the bad and hope it ends up positive in the wash.

Any idea that coaching has much to do with his week-to-week performances is a bit fanciful.

Pity the ground announcer didn't know.
Considering the magnitude of his achievement, that woman <no I’m not going going to say anything more>.


Fastest to 100 tries in the history of the NRL isn’t to be sneezed at.
Absolutely.

As much as we all yell at him, he scores tries from 15m out that most could not.

As garbage as many would say he has been this year, he’s scored more tries than played games. If you did shop him, would his replacement achieve this ? Get even close ? Unlikely.

My biggest problem with him he’s such a lazy merkin, especially when he doesn’t have the ball and he’s not within 20m of the try line.

I also think we were super spoilt with Semi, who was the complete package.

To be absolutely realistic, every NRL winger has flaws.

We signed Zac Lomax, but he's too good to play wing.
