Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Can't wait to come back to visit these hot takes when Stef is killing it at Melbourne.

I don’t think anyone has doubts about him killing it in Melbourne but his efforts in a WT’s jersey have been nothing short of a disgrace

Campbell Gillard played 75 min at a higher standard than Steph did in shorter stints - disgraceful effort

Multiple posts about him not cutting it in Melbourne?

No doubt, his form dropped off a cliff when his negotiations were all over the media. But he will be back the the Stef everyone here called for as our future captain - but because he has decided to leave he has apparently lost all ability.

I'm just not one for pettiness.

I can’t remember everyone here wanting him captain. It was stef himself who proclaimed that multiple times in the media…

Yeah well he has been a cat for us.
Five missed tackles two drop balls and about 50 run metres.
We would have been better off letting him go or at least not playing him for this game. I reckon Big Tim would have had more of a go tonight. Paps did.
If he does kick on it will only prove how much he was a cat here.

Our marquee we saved from the Eels only a few seasons ago. Powder puff. Gets owned by real forwards and even RCG was smiling all day. Tino and Haas don’t even think about this fluff ball, he is not on the radar for them as a challenge / battle. He is just the Tigers ‘big man’ and it didn’t work. Happy to eat my words if Bellamy turns him into a wrecking ball, but good luck!

and he probably will- or just realize its easier heft n bricks up 2 flights instead of putting in once a week

15runs for 129m and 34/1 tackles.
But all their forwards ran over the 100 so 🤷‍♂️ maybe it had something to do with us.
We should never sign a player base on how well they play against us.

Stef will be fine in Melbourne. Probably play SOO regularly, but this comment post game irks me:

"I probably haven’t trained the way they’ve trained. I think I’ll love it there, and I think I’ll be good"

How about being a leader and lifting standards at training over the last few years?

He also went on to talk about how impressive Ciraldo was. Nothing for the Tigers, not even a thanks.

Not the kind of personality who is up for the fight for a poor team, let alone be a club and pack leader. Dare say Ice has a similar attitude. See ya later.

Compare with Blaize Talagi's comments in the same article who talked up his love for Parra and the how difficult the decision had been to move.

He is the next Adam Blair, will look great in the Storm system, but will look average in any other side. No big loss for us.

RCG has outplayed all our middles this year.
We went through his stats a month or so back.

What a dog. Hope Hunt smashes him next year.

 

[Bigscreentv]

Could be a great player, but he’s mentally done at the tigers so good luck to him.

First priority, players need to want to be there.

 

[tig_prmz]

I've defended the crap out of him this year because I felt the criticism was way over the top. I don't blame him for leaving at all.

But yesterday was completely unacceptable. Switching off like that when playing 45-50 minutes is horrible.

Hope Bellamy gives him the toughest pre season known.

I still wish him luck though, he's been the shining light in 4 atrocious years.

Rcg uses his shoulders in defence also which is a plus

 

[weststigerman]

Elite players don’t make excuses for not training hard enough.

Imagine if he signed the contract and we had him for 4 more years on 800k. I don’t care how well he goes at Storm, we have dodged a bullet.

 

[yeahcaz]

Cut the sentiments. I get we’ve been a crap team but he’s been average and this year was the worst of the lot. Literally checked out 5 rounds in and was still named every week. Will happily boo everything he does from here on out

 

[Speed2burn]

8 runs for 57 meters … what a pathetic powder puff Stefanie is … watch JFH tonight get those meters in less than 10 mins

No, you're just an enabler of mediocrity.

I think Stefano's attitude is alot to do with not enough senior players in the squad to show him the way and pull him inline
