Stefano Utoikamanu #241

The Eels offerered him an upgrade to the top 30 squad back in November .
He rejected it then & he’s still not listed on their website as being in the top 30 .

So it could be happening 🤞

100% exactly what we need signing. He makes 100m a game and hits the ball up at great speed and with youth on his side will only get bigger.

I’m actually really excited at how Madge is building our team to last.

We just need 2-3 top flight players to round out these kids and we will be in a great position


Stef also averages 30 post contact mts. Admittedly only half of what Haas is doing but that will improve once he settles in. This is a great signing!

Josh Reynolds look alike behind him 🤔
 
To me the Eels have got a hide not releasing him. Regardless of timeframes, they have taken our best player from 2019 who still had 2 years left on his contract. Now they want to stop this kid coming early to us, at the same time lessening what he can earn this year. Come on Eels - a bit of dignity please!

Mate they have none, you are appealing to absolutely the wrong club and wrong fanbase. Even Doggies fans have a little bit of dignity and self-awareness.

Parra club and fans are on their own disillusioned planet of self-righteousness and entitlement. Worst club in the NRL.

Yeah, the Eels management are definitely scum bags. They think if the bump him into their top 30, he will reneg his deal. I hope the Eels, Panthers and South's all come equal last.

I put parra on a par with souffs the scum of the earth
 
There is absolutely no reason for them to keep him..
They have tried to change his mind and offered a top 30 spot and he declined..
Why waste your time and money developing a player that is leaving.
I can understand if this player was in your starting team and you don't have a replacement (E.g. Arrow) but this is a player that has not played a game of NRL and they have a truck load of big guys ahead of him with 1st grade experience.

This is where the current system does not work.. The NRL need to step in and assist or scrap the rule that you can sign a player for the year after.. Such a grey area that needs addressing and surprised the Players Union has not spoke to NRL about it.

Plus there is family history with him and the eels that has lead to him hating the club

He has told parra he doesn't want to be there now or ever and even though he is not going to tank it he has no desire to make his NRL debut with parra

Parra upgraded their offer 3 times when that found out about our offer and he declined each time and promptly signed with us
