Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Fish88]

Twal has disappointed me this year. He has zero presence. I thought last year he showed good promise, had a little bit of footwork and got over the advantage line. It’s a shame he’s signed up for so long as I believe he is surplus to our requirements.

In saying that he could be decent trade bait. He may do well in a storm type system.

24 years old and using virginity as an insult...cringe.

Geez that’s ugly from him.

Stefano has taken the easy option for his career to date

Chose us over working past RCG/Paulo because he was guaranteed a NRL spot

Chose Bulldogs over Storm & Us because he won’t have to fight/work as much / lead / be out of his comfort zone

Stefano has always played his best games when he had an experienced form prop beside him. When he gets plodder help he becomes totally ineffective. Good luck to the Bulldogs he will be adequate servant but he won’t be an enforcer.

Pretty shit come back. Doesn't even make sense.

who cares

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Dunno why these guys respond to some couch potato on social media ..

See it in a lot of sports…

Shows more fight on instagram than on the field.

Has the bullshit Paul 'creepy' Crawley article been posted in this thread yet? The flog is a bigger tosser than old alcho Buzz.

Tell me you have an axe to grind against Richo without telling me you have an axe to grind.

Written by someone that has never sat down and watched Stef play. Bloke writes the article like Stef is the second coming of Webcke.

Tigers’ Stefano ‘low blow’... and why chief’s $2m fallacy won’t wash — Crawley

Lucky his brother Steve Crawley is the boss at Fox sports otherwise he may end up with Paul Kent at Centrelink.

The article is garbage and even Tallis said he is not worth $800k, yet Richo is wrong to suggest we offered overs which all bottom sides have had to do to retain any talent.

Click bait article and agree we just need to focus on getting a few decent props that hold the middle, hit the ball up with a quick play the ball and we will do better than what we could with one $800k prop.

If he goes to the storm then he will see success, the Dogs have been good this year but so were the Cowboys two years ago and then failed the following year and based on last night the Cowboys will not go to far in the finals.

I must admit ..I’ve moved on pretty quickly from him …

Listening to Benji and Richo, they don’t seem too upset Stephanie is going….i can see why.

Don't know why the Leichhardt crowd were so lenient with him last night, must have felt sorry for the pathetic pea heart.

Was expecting them to give it to him big time but I expect it was probably more out of respect for some of the players that came out in his support before the game.

 

[hank37w]

Couldn't agree more! What a 🧻🧻 of an *article*

I've said it lots of times before and the best place for Creepy Crawley would be in the bottom of a swimming pool somewhere, preferably attached to an Early Kooka.

He’s the kind of guy who’s always looking for the escalator instead of the stairs.

Neither does the shit way he plays.

 

[hodgo]

I wish we kept him. I understand his leaving and he hasn't been great but I get it. We have been proper bad his whole time here and I'm sure he contributes that to missing out on origin somewhat. I think if he goes to the doggies he will still be an above average prop but if he goes to Melbourne he could be anything. I also don't think the tiges are that good at developing talent and that could also contribute. I still feel like he could be P Hass lite with the right coach.

The way he been playing he could certainly use a lift.

 

[hsvjones]

Judging by the comments Stefo is saying and his performance he should be put back in reserve grade.

Time to give young guys the chance who are committed.

 

[tig_prmz]

Is that response legit or doctored? If real, what a dumb move.

I genuinely feel people have been very harsh on him here, but God that's dumb to be replying

Had a really poor first stint last night. Let drinkwater escape when he had him on the ground for Cowboys 1st try and through a ridiculous offload that lead to another. Was better in his 2nd stint but not by much

Klemmer played great last night - thought it was his best stint this year

Klemmer is our best defensive middle.

Wherever he goes i hope he never wins a premiership or at least WTs win one before he does. I feel the same with all the glory hunters that have left before him so it's nothing personal.

Stephanie:
“ the hardest decision of my life”
“ I love this club, coaches and the boys”
“ it’s not about winning a premiership”

Then why in hell is he leaving???

His IQ is that of a snails belly

Who really cares. Thank you and good bye

That is so specific, i feel like you have definitely done this to someone and think about it every day... Not through any guilt or remorse, but you saw it on Antiques Roadshow go for half a million. Let it go mate.
