Knight #269
2021 Danny Buderus Medal winner, Jacob Saifiti has continually elevated his game year in, year out since his debut alongside twin brother, Daniel in 2016.
Jacob's strong ball carries and power have made him a reliable figure in the middle of the park, which saw him debut for NSW in the 2022 State of Origin series.
Bringing a one-two punch next to Daniel in the front-row, J-Saf is signed on until at least the end of the 2024 season.
