Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Tigerwould]

Preseason with us he will be fine

Fitter Faster Stronger..

Best pre-season ever

Looking forward to the ‘training the place down’ commentary.

He looks transformed, way different to the 2020 build

Who is this and what is he looking at

David Nofoaluma ..wondering why they removed the plating from his tactical jacket..before target practice..

I notice Madge didn't mention him when he was talking up who he thought would have a breakout year among the younger brigade. Mightn't be up to Madges training standards.

Under the radar...

I think you are right - he looks so much leaner and put on a fair bit of muscle since i first saw photos of him at Parra.

Yes good call
But what is that little red thing poking out that looks like Happy's cheerio (apparently)

Like Laurie, Stefano was very good. What stood out to me was his defense. There was 3 occasions where he put some very good shots on in the same set. The 1st was on JWH. Then he tried on tedesco although he slipped away. Next play he puts a hit on 17, fifita.

Am really impressed with how he is going so far! keep up the good work Uto.

His hit on JWH was great
Even Hargreaves loved it 😂

Yeah Stef is worth all the hype. Love his involvement so far and can’t wait for Blore to join him soon

Played the most minutes he has played in the NRL running & defending against one of the best props in JWH & held his own. Was our best prop today.

JWH is such a flog with his bumpers every run..Utoikamanu snotted him..

That's a great achievement. Well done Stef!

 

[Madge]

I must say I am surprised - but I don't want that to cover how thrilled I am to see this sort of news! Congratulations Stefano!

 

[TrueTiger]

Thats 2 guys picked for SOO from the Tigers THIS YEAR.....someone must think Madge and the club are doing ok with a lot of youth and inexperience....

 

[PJ_]

Congrats.
Do the opposite of what Tamou tells you 🤣

 

[Tigerdave]

Should be a good experience for him

 

[Telltails]
