Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Kaito]

Thinks he is better than he is. Getting touched up
by Blore & Loiero spoke volumes. Woods 2.0 smh

It stood out how far behind the pack he is against the warriors. It was one of his better games all yesr and he was completely out done by the warriors props.

Captain of the club one day, leader of the pack blah,
blah. He's been coerced by others around him. Penny
will drop soon for him. We now have 2.5m and guys
will be squeezed out of the cap at other clubs. This
is great news I'm actually very happy he's not staying

 

[hsvjones]

I think Richo gave him a deadline as it's strange it comes out already.

Great news and we can focus on other players now.

Extend Pole should be the first thing

Yah, nice - players lining up to come here. Especially when a big part of our team has no faith in what's happening here.

Big blow, on perception if nothing else.

 

[davey_farrell]

dont let the door hit you on the way out stephanie!! At least we have some money to upgrade Pole and another roster spot, i wouldnt mind Hetherington and the ranga Horsberiegh from the Raiders

I disagree.

If you go back and watch the Luai interview as to why he's coming here, there are QUALITY players who believe they can turn the club around.... and WILL.

Stef just had no interest in being part of it with his boys... happy to jump ship for the 2nd time in 3 years (I think?)..

 

[TSP]

He can leave now, don’t bother shutting the door Stef -you goose.

 

[Curaeus]

Massive loss-NOT!

 

[gallagher]

Damn shame, he'll go onto become a bloody good prop.

 

[Papacito]

In the words of Wayne Bennett "you can't keep em' all". Good luck to the bloke.

Personally I'm not all that disappointed that he's moving on. 2024 has been the year that almost every other club has figured out that he's a bit suspect in defence against more agile players.

 

[Tito Santana]

Can we cut him clean now? Or are we forced to play him in Reggie's cause he's contracted.

Maybe we could ask him to give up the last portion of 2024 contract as good will (the same way we let him explore early)..

He's a good Mormon so surely he should beleive in doing the right thing.

More like Judas my man and we know how that turned out for him.

 

[Tito Santana]

And to KOE he goes.

 

[jadtiger]

He has shown this year that he will never be a vital part of a rebuild only be a minor part of a winning side.I actually feel sad for him because he will never become the player that he could be.
The good news is Pole should be the main beneficiary of his poor judgement

 

[Roar_Power]

This is actually a big loss. His best is in front of him.

 

[hammertime]

The problem i see is richo and benji were confident about the retention. They obviously can't read a room

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

Now resign Sione and Pole who have offered far more in ways of effort and actual impact than Stefanie

 

[mikey]

This is actually a big loss. His best is in front of him.

No big loss for us as he wasn't putting in.
Undoubtedly, will go better elsewhere.

 

[Demps]

Farewell.

Money is better spent elsewhere, towards people who turn up and do the job.

I ain't mad.

Really strange that Pole hasn't re-signed as yet. Hopefully he isn't looking for greener pastures.
