"He knows that he needs to be more disciplined and focus on making strong, legal tackles," added Brown, who will likely take on a greater leadership role in Sivo's absence.
Despite his physicality and ability to break tackles, Sivo will need to learn to channel his aggression in a more controlled manner.
Former Eels captain Clint Gutherson echoed Brown's sentiments, stating that Sivo's suspension is a wake-up call for the entire team.
"We can't afford to have key players missing crucial games due to ill-discipline," Gutherson said, pointing out that the team's depth will be tested early in the season.
Sivo, known for his powerful runs and acrobatic finishes, must now prove to his teammates and coach that he can be relied upon to make smart decisions on the field.
With the pressure mounting, the Fijian flyer will have to bide his time on the sidelines and wait for his chance to redeem himself.
"He knows that he can't afford to make the same mistake again," coach Brad Arthur said, emphasizing the importance of learning from past errors.
As the Eels gear up for a challenging season ahead, Sivo's suspension serves as a timely reminder that success in the NRL requires both skill and discipline.
