Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[69-05-41]

16 metres in 40 minutes in a 36-10 flogging sounds like an above average game for Stefani. More importantly were his handbag and onesie colour co-ordinated?

Early days.... tho bellyache won't put up with that crap for long

Spot on !

Wow, prop in a team who didn't touch the footy and had none of their first choice player didn't run for many metres...

I think it's a very risky game to already call him a bum signing.... might take him a bit but he'll be good for them.

He was good for us in plenty of games and we aren't anywhere close to the level of Melbourne

Traumatic flashbacks. Please don't forget we beat the Roosters in teddy's first game there and thought we were geniuses.

I'm 99% sure we finished ahead of Penrith when cleary dogged it and many (including me) thought we had come out better with Madge.

I don't think Stef is great but if he does improve down there I wouldn't be surprised

Stef with a 40% improvement isn't worth the money we offered.
It worked out for us well.. watch May be one of the best props in the league this year.

Missed the first half of the all stars game. Can't find a thread on it. How's hunt going?

took the first hit up off the back fence and carried 4 blokes. Got injured (just a burner) so came off, then on his 2nd stint made a few decent runs and went looking for the ball a lot

His effort area and cover defense seems not so bad from a 40 min observation

 

[gregjm87]

Are those numbers correct?

No

He doesn’t make our 17 this season , he is going to be the biggest flop buy in 2025 , he still has to much cat in him , he is not an enforcer

You talking about Royce or Stef?

Surely you are talking about Stef, I don’t think Hunt is elite but I think he can do a job and for much cheaper than Stef

 

[finnzo]

To be fair I’ve seen him play better games for us than he did for storm yesterday. I’m hoping I’m wrong but I’m still curtain storm will get the best out of him

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Be careful Stephaine will make us eat our words....he couldve been playing to coaches instructions to just get out there and blow the cobwebs out....

The Melbourne system holds a high bar for acceptable performance.
There’s no way he will get to bludge there.
He’s in for a big season.

I’m not going to say you’re right , or the people death riding him are . I will say that , that performance was very reminiscent of his efforts last year for us .
Especially his defence around the middle . Was lazy and looks like he’s brought his bad habits to Melbourne .
They have a good coaching staff , so you’d think his video on Monday won’t be for pretty watching , and my guess is he will get a rocket .

 

[Telltails]

His run off the kick off in his second stint was a ripper. In a good team that dominates, he will shine.
