Knight #269
2021 Danny Buderus Medal winner and NSW Origin representative, Jacob Saifiti has continually elevated his game since his debut in 2016.
Jacob's strong ball carries and power has made him a reliable figure in the middle of the park, which saw him debut for NSW in the 2022 State of Origin series.
In 2023, his form saw a re-call to the Origin arena posting his personal best total running metres for a season with 2,464.
Bringing a one-two punch next to twin brother Daniel in the front-row, J-Saf is signed on until at least the end of the 2027 season.
