I can't see any reason the knights or sharks would trade a centre on a dev deal for another centre on a dev deal.
They weren’t playing there one so he wanted out
We weren’t playing our one so he wanted out
Now two new clubs can not play them

Honestly I think he makes sense on the bench. Play him in the middle, but you have cover in the 2nd row and centres.
Except he's spent the last 18 months in the centres... if you want a small forward in the middle, might as well just put Murray there.

I’d pick a forward who can cover centre over a centre who can cover forward
Doesnt apply to Sifa. Hes a back that can cover back row well. Most centres cant but he can.

But if he is playing backrow there are better backrowers available. I only like Sifa if it is a 4 forward bench and especially if you have someone like Burton at centre

in my opinion Sifa is very unlucky .

A great bench option that would have been used at centre in each of the first 2 matches ( I know he had an injury initially ).

If not required in the backs - he could give you a heck of a 20 minute stint in the middle ( I know he had some issues last year in SOO )

So Glad to have him at the Sharks this week , but perfect option given what transpired in games 1 and 2.

As long as any Sharks players picked are part of building for future Origin campaigns, not just about winning a 1 off game with the series already lost. I assume Freddy will be gone next year so

The way players have been picked and instantly dropped in preference of out of form injured favs has been insulting

Cricthon wasn't even going to play in game 3 bar injury to Latrell - the Blues selectors are fnen dopes

Sifa and Hynes 2 of the best players in the comp in their positions and both were given a 1 off cameo and discarded
It does my head in

There’s 13 on the field and one bloke is called the five eight. And he wears number 6.

Why is the 'half' called a 7?

Shouldn't he be a 6.5 ?
