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..

 

[diedpretty]

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..

First time I’ve seen him live. Absolute monster. How long till he’s starting?

One of our shining lights.
Great potential.

He is a beast

Stefano is a beast. Musgrove, Ofehengaue also strong our front row is solid.

Except for Tamou

Despite the team not getting the desired results he always looks super keen and like he's enjoying his footy. I love this kid and am stoked we've got him. He's doing absolutely fantastic for such a young man.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I was sitting behind the goal post that he scored under. My life was flashing before my eyes, watching him charge in my direction and I 20 rows up.

 

[izotope]

Always feel our go forward lifts when Joe O and Stefano come on

 

[JC99]

He is a freak. Man mountain, massive motor and scoring tries! One we need to hang on to forever.

Can build a team around him, Laurie, Doueihi, Simpkin etc

 

[Merlot]

any one lip read his joy in scoring that try,classic response

 

[WT2K]

Great potential. Wouldn't rush him into starting side just yet. Him and Ofa are a good Duo. Looking forward to watching Stefano in tigers colours for many years to come.
