The Official Maika Sivo thread

[TheRam]

I hate watching any league game later then 19:00-19:30. I hated the Saturday 21:30 game. I stopped watching it unless Parra was involved. TV scheduling Footy is a joke and mostly if my team isn't involved in these late kickoff games or it isn't a quality meaningful game with atmosphere I have stopped watching.

How can you compare how we are performing as a club then

Those Alex Jones podcasts aren't going to listen to themselves...

Grew up playing rugby league ? Nah he didn't.

I think he'll stay in OZ.

 

[Twizzle]

as long as he stays in Parra

 

[AnonymousLurker]

Money on as leading try scorer. Sivo is the real deal.

Not a bad prediction for 31st March
Did you put money on him being top try scorer

 

[T.S Quint]

He goes alright.

I think I may have understated it.

He's better than alright. I'd go so far as to say he's pretty good.

There is a rumour going around in rugby circles that Sivo will walk away from the Eels, play for Fiji in the July 2020 Olympics and then go to French Rugby.

Not sure how that works with him being under contract with us until end October 2020.

I don't think the deal with Parra means anything if he wants to go and play rugby. If he was trying to bail and go play for another NRL club then sure, we could impose a ban or make him sit out the season etc. But if he's hell bent on going to rugby, then he's free to go no??

Bloody hell, would be a blow... You'd like to think we keep him somehow...

Well he’s currently not hurting our salary cap to stop us playing hard ball if he was to remain in any sport in Australia

Just opens the door for Semi to come back.

Sonny Bill was forced to pay the Dogs huge $$ when he went overseas to play rugby

NRL star being touted
The agent of NRL superstar Maiko Sivo has been touting the winger’s CV around the Gallagher Premiership according to the latest reports.

The Fijian back, 25, has scored 22 tries in first season in the NRL with the Parramatta Eels and has another year on his contract but he has the chance to leave the rugby league outfit at the end of the season and is being chased by the Australian Sevens side who are looking to line up the scoring sensation ahead of the Olympics in Japan next year.

Despite his stunning exploits on the pitch Divo is reported to be on just £40,000 a season.

Divo ?

shouldn't that be Devo ?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

“he has the chance to leave the rugby league outfit at the end of the season”

Really?

Managers are merkins.

He needs two more ties to hit 100 in his career.

Most players who hit 100 tries do so over 10 years, however he started in 2019.

Either way, he will hit 100 very soon (when his hammy gets better) and then will become the equal 77th highest try scorer of all time.

Brett Kenny 110

Thanks for the memories, you massive unit!

 

[Eelementary]

Maika offered plenty of bad, to go with the good - but he scored 20 tries in his debut season.

That's insane.

He also scored tries at a ridiculous pace.

I'll forever cherish the big unit's contribution to the Eels.
