- Biography:
Our reigning Danny Buderus Medal winner, Jacob Saifiti has continually elevated his game year in, year out.
Jacob's gut-busting plays and strong ball carries have made him a reliable figure in the middle of the park while forming a considerable one-two punch combination with his twin brother, Daniel.
Off the back of an enormous 2021 season which saw him earn the player of the year award, Saifiti is knocking on the door for representative honours.
J-Saf is primed for another huge season in 2022 and is contracted until at least the end of the 2024 season.
