Additionally teams have recognised while he can barrel an outside back or 2, he doesn’t have the pace to get around the outside so on kick returns they herd him back infield where trying to barrel 3 or 4 defenders gets him massacred.Sivo still does take some great carries. I think why fans get upset is he will do maybe 2 where he runs full steams and bowl guys over followed by 6 or 7 where he just jogs up to the line but probably still makes the same as what either Haze or Russel would tbh.
There is always a couple of genuinely strong hit ups by Sivo carting it up where he makes 15mtrs plus and has a red hot go. That's why he is frustrating.
He almost needs to be running off someone else on his kick returns (that is not him one out off the ruck). But that’s not ideal because passing on tackle 1/2 in own half is risky at the best of times, added with Sivo not being the safest anyway, plus it’s another person having to run.
On that… if I see Gutho take another kick and turn and wait 10 minutes for Sivo to wrap around, I’ll go to training and throw my TV remote at him. FFS how difficult is it for him to catch the kick, run a hand full of metres and then turn and lay it off? The merkins shit me when they’re either not on same page or couldn’t be f**ked moving a few steps
