Knight #269
2021 Danny Buderus Medal winner and Fijian international, 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.
