Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Tcat]

I'm holding back on criticism because I'm thinking of stefs possible mental health at this time.
None of us know what's going on with him... There could be other issues... But I'd hate for him to do something silly and drastic at this likely low point in his career

Poor Stef. Struggling to decide whether to decide on $800k with us or something similar somewhere else and play in the NRL. Supporting this club on a medium wage is worse.

Would not surprise if any other club comes near our offer, we withdraw our $800k offer and he decides to activate the option for next year.

True..but the "option"wont be 800k!
I think hes gooooone to Storm..but either way,he just a bit more than a journeyman.....no one is gonna pay 800k for him.Hes just a facade
Sure hope Richo doesnt
His defence is diabolical,whatever metres he makes.Cant carry lazy defenders

If you want to see disheartening, take a look at the first try the Sharks scored. Is Stef disheartening himself?

That was disgusting, first minute and their five eight brushed past Stef ran 70m, and they scored next tackle, that was just pathetic from the want a be $900k prop in the first minute of the game

Not being a smart arse. Genuinely can't stand the flack our best players cop. No wonder they want out the door having to put up with shit on and off the field.

One thing I've been thinking about.
The way Stef has been playing, might be as good as he can be, it's just our expectations of the guy have been to high.
Maybe because of how much we pay him.
Plus the fact he has asked for more, and we are negotiating with the possibility of more $$$ to keep him, when in reality he ain't worth keeping.

Maybe we’ve got him playing in the wrong
position ? Any ideas ? Big strong winger like Sivo, or not tough enough ?

Release him now , and if he can’t find a club for 25 dump him in reserve grade cause once a club frees up the cash he will walk anyway

His manager actually gains little from this given if he leaves he will more than likely earn less = less commission. This isn’t on his manager.

No one goes for less. We are the only ones playing by the rules.

Actually there is they have no money to sign Steph. The only way they can afford him is to let NAS go who’s on big money.

NAS is busted

As far away from our club as possible, he is just not worth having.

Not another Olam....we always seem to go for or get the busted stars who were great at their peak...Storm dont move them on if they can still produce great performances....

Mental health is never as simple as that and nothing to be flippant about

Wasn't Stefano waiting for the Eels coach to be announced, now he is flying to Qld.
His manager is full of shite just trying to start a bidding war, Please Richo withdraw our offer.

 

[Dennisspicer1]

I read somewhere that the WestTigers had given Steph until Friday to give them an answer, was I dreaming or did anyone else hear that last Friday was his deadline.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Thursday night even.

From memory Stefani dropped his first carry before missing a tackle leading to that try. Towards the end of his first stint he had negative fantasy points with 6 tackles and 4 missed. Then he did something similar in his second stint dropping the ball on his first carry and again impersonating a turnstyle.

His heart is not in it, Stef / The Club need to bring this to a head now.

Honestly, Joe Biden moves quicker than Stef atm.

A Biden/Stef player swap would be an upgrade for both parties!
