Man of the Match - Round 7

No surprises here!

Charging over to score the opening try in just the second minute of the match, Sharks wrecking ball Siosifa Talakai set the tone for what was about to unfold over the opening 40.

In arguably the best half of any player this season, big Sif was unstoppable, rolling through Manly's right edge as he scored two tries and laid on three others. 

Talakai finished the game with three line breaks, two line-break assists, seven tackle breaks and three off-loads while carrying the ball 202 metres in 13 runs. 

It's no wonder he pulled in a monstrous 95% of the fan vote this week to claim the round seven Aramex Man of the Match title.
