5 mins more than I noticed him.
Stefano Utoikamanu #241
- Thread starter Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan
- Start date
This.
QLD is really missing Gilbert & Flegler.
They're genuine origin calibre.
Much like Mitch Barnett.
NSW starting to get it with the likes of Young, Martin & Barnett....
There's a few others floating about - Burt Stefano isn't one of them.
Problem is,
Blokes like him will never be told they weren't good enough in that environment
- So they'll still think that's where they belong.
Said it through the Pearce reign, What was he supposed to do
- Kicking inside his own 30 most of the game.
Yeah Joey Johns could do it, But I'm closer to dying than being born
- And I've seen 1 Joey Johns
He should be up to payne hass levels by now the way the media talked up the move to Melbourne as being the move that would make him top echelon

Why does Stefano have a must get picked in Origin clause in his contract? Would be the only reason he would ever get picked.
The dumb arse is as thick as 2 bricks. 😵

It won't, he is a Storm player and has reformed his WTs' ways.
Lol Sporting News article on Facebook rated Steph 7.5 saying he had a great game 😂 Pretty sure they only based it on his first big hit up, he did squat after that. Only gave Luai a 5 whilst acknowledging he was the main link to sparking NSW’s second half comeback - go figure.
No way haha, even the moley gave him a 3 and said this at least:
'Looked out of his depth with just five carries for 41 metres - will be the first man dropped for Sydney. Should not have been there on form.'
Yep 3 is more like it

That mole DH gave Mighty Boy 3.5 and said he’d be first dropped.
Gave JL 7.5 and credit him for the 2nd half comeback while giving Cleary 5.
It looked to me that Cleary wasn’t fit enough carrying that leg injury.

Said it a cple of weeks ago..I dont think Stephano has improved at all under Bellamy
Still lazy..lacks lateral movement only runs hard whe he sees a 9 0 a 7 in front of him
May is better than both Stef and King,who is just a club player as well

3.5, how can they rate him so highly?
Sick of these Journos pumping up the tyres of ex Tigers duds like Stefano and "The Galvinator." 🤣 🤣 🤣

Honestly don't know how Terrell would go in the Origin arena, but one thing you do know is that the effort would be there and you would also have the option of playing him as an impact player for shorter minutes or as a steady long minutes player providing more interchange options for the coaching staff, or at least for ones who have some sort of a clue.
Don’t usually agree with the Mole but that is a much better assessment, at least of those players.

Stef will never be top shelf, mark my words. You can see it in his eyes, soft passive eyes!

Yeah, and what is even more surprising is that he's producing this mediocre form in mostly dominant displays by the Melbourne team where they have the momentum. He at least looked like he was top shelf on the rare occasion we weren't being dominated at the Tigers, and you'd expect that just being in a better team (ignoring coaching) would lift his performance....but nope.
