No doubt, I'm talking about now though. Sifa is the best player in the comp over the past month or so.
For sure, Talakai's activated a power up.
I was glad to see us steer away from him in the second half last week as I think we'll want to balance his ridiculous workrate against burning the bloke out.
Might be the best thing for him to move back into the forward rotation

But thats up to the halves to help him manage that workrate by not going to him constantly.
I like the idea of leaving him there as an attacking weapon where he can do serious damage

I don't think any of us should expect anything close to what Sifa produced in the first half again at Suncorp this week. That is close to a once in a life time occurrence. I will be happy with just a really good solid game from the big fella. How many times in the past have we seen an extraordinary performance by a player, only to be followed up by a crashing back to Earth the following week? Hope that doesn't happen this Thursday. Go Sifa!

I’m just hopeful that he holds his own or beats his opposite. Not expecting same each week (but would be nice).

This.
His first half performance was freak like vs Manly and we know (unfortunately) that its not going to be done week in week out.
But as WS said, its about his ability to be solid without being spectacular and holding his own/neutralising his opposite number

The good thing is that Brisbane will spend a lot of video time to counter the big fella.
This will give us opportunities on other attacking options or slight variations etc.

True.
Walters can only focus on one thing at a time.

No he isnt, Isaah Yeo is

Crichton is the best centre in the comp by the length of Flemington
I agree Crichton is the best, but the gap to Manu isn't that big, nor is it to Sifa in this purple patch.

My original post said "at present". You're having a laugh if you don't rate Sifa in that category in that context.

Campbell Graham is probably the best defensive centre in the game
