8. Daniel Saifiti

Daniel Saifiti was another big improver in terms of output in 2020. His tackle breaks more than doubled, despite playing seven less games this season. He also had considerably more offloads and post contact metres while his missed tackles went way down.

144 metres per game, 28 tackle breaks and over 91% tackle efficiency have seen him go from Origin bolter to Origin regular.

It's no coincidence that the Knights best season in a while came with their all-star forward pack laying such a dominant platform. Saifiti played a huge part in that.

  2. The Parramatta pair got a number one ranking for 2020, in another sites article mreel. So you’d be happy with that, being as biased as you are.
    However, each club has 4 plus props in their top squads & there are 16 clubs. So number 9 is pretty good.
    Paulo got a 6/ 10 rating in origin 3.
    Parramatta failed to make the Grand Final yet again.
    Number 9 may be a little light on? Still pretty close to the Mark.

  3. By the way mreel…
    2022, looks pretty bleak on the wings , for your eels. No Ferguson. No Sivo, if they don’t pay his contract upgrade.
    The ‘Riff’ as you like to say. To’o & Staines. Will be Vastly Superior our wide.
    Such is Life ! 😥
