Fiji Bati
RLWC 2017
NSW Blues State of Origin
Newcastle Knights Player of the year 2021
2021 NRL Player of the year
Fiji Bati and Newcastle prop Jacob Saifiti is known for his hard running and aggression in defense. He is currently in career best form for the Knights along with twin brother Daniel.
Embed from Getty ImagesSaifiti made his debut in round 1 of 2016, along with his brother, making it the first time in Rugby League history twin brothers made their debut in the same game. They also made their international debuts in the same game in 2015 before playing first grade, against PNG.
Jacob has had a tough battle with injury prior to 2020 but seems to have come back a better and more determined player. Raising his standards and becoming a regular for the Knights.
He has always performed at a high level for the Bati, his best performance coming at the 2017 RLWC where Jacob and a young Fiji Bati forward pack stood up to much more fancied opposition.
Expect Saifiti to feature heavily for the Bati over the next decade and possibly join his brother in State of Origin for NSW.
Clermont winger Alivereti Raka has scored 7 tries in the 2022/2023 Top 14 Season and 1 in the Champions Cup.
