Utai has a lot to offer a football team. He made yards all night and one exceptional run.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Utai was outstanding. His runs are so invaluable.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He was great yet again. Definitely our biggest unsung hero of the season. It would be sacrilege not to see him given a new contract

 

[Goose]

Utai was amazing in attack, and good overall, feel harsh being critical, but watching the replay they shifted to his side on kicks that led to a few breaks, and they got around him and Blake a few times.
That said he was good and his carries got us on the front foot all night.

He was awesome…. Please keep him

I've been a Utai fan for a very long time. He was outstanding once again. He either makes ground or drags 2-3 defenders on every single tackle. The forwards get a massive lift after he takes a run early in the set. Hard to believe we have re-signed Moltzen for another 2 years and Utai is still un-signed?? :crazy

IMO, if we won the game either Utai or Farah would have probably got man of the match. I hate golden point. Nothing wrong with a draw and 1 competition point each would have been the next fairest result considering the idiot video ref robbed us.

Geez he made great yards last night. I don't know if Id re-sign him though. Id re-sign him for sure. Although its not a priority area with Koro and Ryan already re-signed for next year.

Best player on the park.

He was that good wasn't he. He just kills them out there.

 

[MacDougall]

He ran for over 200 metres last night. That'd be close to a career high for him. 10 tackle breaks too.

The thing about Utais runs are they get other guys going forward. If someone makes a good run, roles forward, gets a quick play the ball, the defence is generally going back and it opens the door of the next person to make good metres. The other few players who can do this in our team are BMM and Koroibete. Heighno makes a living off running behind these guys, but for example, he's not big or strong enough to do that first run and get us going forward.
