Stefano Utoikamanu #241

I just want to see us get a few signings that better our side next year and Stef would have stopped it if we paid him $800k. I am sure he will improve under Bellamy and would be banking on getting an Origin call up to offset the proposed $625K offer against what we and others may have offered. Not sure his improvement will be anymore than maybe fitter or better structure as Bellamy has his props hold the middle and hit the ball up and play the ball quicker for the backs to capitalise. His lateral movement is poor resulting in arm grabbing leading to missed tackles.
The fact he spat out he wanted to Captain the side, I am glad he left as he does not show leadership qualities.

He’ll be a cog in a wheel. Establish good go forward, get the ball at the right times, win the ruck, and then their stars will do the fancy stuff.

His game probably changes bugger all but the wins will flow and his reputation will naturally increase.

It's definitely a possibility but only if he can happily settle into living in Melbourne and Bellyache gets into his head and he can get him mentally tough.

Other than that, he is a big physical specimen and I'm sure that with a preseason in Melbourne he will be physically fit, it's just a matter of getting right in the head and striking a good life, family balance.
 
Will give him credit he hasn’t chosen the easier more financial pathway. He will be out of his comfort zone at the Storm.

Bulldogs will be spewing they went hard after Stefano and missed.

Huge red flag for us is Pole. His 2 best mates are now in the Storm ranks for the next 3-4yrs. We must make him an offer too good to refuse otherwise he will be following Stefano (Storm rate him very highly).

Too right mate he didn’t want to get down and dirty with his mates and lead them out of the rut , however i am glad he has gone to Storm and not Dogs , I remember Glenn Morrison leaving the Tiges saying he wanted to win a title , turned out Tiges won a title and he didn’t 😂
