Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[Bellend]

Who cares really??

 

[magpies forever]

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

Agree, I think Ute has plateaued at average whereas Blore has gone to next level at Storm.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

And the amount of media articles hyping this guy up as if it was some big come back after all the improvement he attained from the Storm system and that he wouldn’t have been recalled if he stayed at Tigers just makes this all the more funnier.

This guy is probably above average when he wants to be but nowhere near the level of Origin. He’s not built for this arena and should not be selected ever again. Terrell May has had a minimum of 10 high quality games already this season. I don’t know if Utoikamanu has the same amount of quality games in his whole career.

Terrell has already played more games at a higher level in half of a season than Stefano did in his entire time with us. Stefano had like 5 good games for us.

I don’t think Blore has been that good at the Storm. Sure, would be an improvement on some of our current backrow options but still not great.

Don’t usually agree with the Mole but that is a much better assessment, at least of those players.

Yeah, I don’t usually click on the mole anymore, but it had something about “first man dropped” and I knew it was mighty boy.

Boy the club really dodged a bullet and found a gold nugget with Stefano knocking back the WT offer of $800k a year whilst picking up Terrell. If Stefano had played like Terrell we might not have seen the WT getting 3 wooden spoons.

Maybe Laurie Daley will get over his West Tigers suck attitude and get May who'd play for 60-80 mins to Homebush for game 3 and really deliver what Stefano can't or won't! If Bellamy can't get the best out of him, no one can.

People need to move on from Stef .....ancient history now

 

[TheClaws]

Stefano has to go; however I can't see Daley picking May, he selected Lindsay Smith into the extended squad when Stef was promoted, this was after Kaloamatangi was ruled out....He would probably pick Twal before May.

this is the Stef chat,....and yes there is an interest in seeing if a Wests Tigers player that said he wants to leave so he can develop in a better system.....actually develops.

And so far Stephanie is a big Fail... although I'm sure he sees it otherwise

 

[Lestronge]

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

King got picked because of Gus . And the boys club at that level re. All the ex panthers players/ alumni . If you don’t have an association with them , you’re not getting picked . Even Chricton over Hudson Young . That’s bullshit on 2025 form . Hudson young has been the best edge in the game .

Here's a peek at some of (but not all) of the props that Coach Daley has in front of Mr T May:

Mark Nicholls
Mat Croker
Josh King
Corey Jensen
Coen Hess
Jordon McLean
Jack Williams

Slim chance that Coach Daley will ever prove to be a coach who wants to win.

Calm down,
Hudson is pretty new to the Origin arena...

People quickly forget how good Angus was last year after coming back from the mental Health stuff.
He was unstoppable - And held his position this year accordingly.

Jensen & Hess are Queenslanders

Doesn't matter really

Stefano just needs to go

 

[BAGNF05]

I still think Belly ache and that Storm system will turn him into a quality player but it’s a much slower burn than I predicted. Hopefully they get bundled out in the finals.

Shows ya how much the coach knows ........... 🤣

 

[crazycat]

Nice to see Stefano still being lazy which cost NSW a try. Shows it wasn't a Tigers specific issue and that he's just lazy.

Can't believe they picked this flop.

Yea, I was totally shaking my head at that one.

Can't work out if it was deliberate, but most likely just lazy and woah... ref thinks it looks like a shephard.

Kinda wonder if it is deliberate and Melbourne are clearing paths for Hugues/Munster on the inside. Anyone remember their wipeout of us and if Stef did some shepparding?

 

[Illek]

Well out of his depth at origin. Was a ridiculous pick to chose him over Keaon (I know injured but wasn’t when stef picked) or May.

Surely that has to be the line through his name for game 3. Absolute passenger out there.

Stefanie singlehandedly lost Klownball 2 but if you look carefully it was actually his accessory that caused the obstruction, very unlucky.
