Stefano Utoikamanu #241

[TYGA]

Uto is a strong prop didn’t buy in. Storm machine get players at their best. Credit to them. Good move for both parties.

Or a Broncos spine player.

Usually goes to winning team 20/40 and that, imho, will be the Storm.

Early in the season I was thinking Storm had a great chance of GF victory, especially seeing they picked up Utoikamanu. But I’ve changed my opinion during the last few weeks. Madge has got the Broncos primed and they are super confident. The way they disposed of Panthers was something.

I don't care if he wins a premiership and gets the Clive Churchill Medal, he will always be a flop in my eyes.

I am not yet convinced, all 3 of their tries came from arsey plays and there was a lot of luck in them. I just think the panthers were cooked in the back end of the game and the ball bounced for the broncos as well as the massive amount of crowd support. Will be a very different proposition against the storm on neutral ground and storm have 2 extra days rest. I think that was the Broncs GF...although I do hope I am wrong. If I was a betting man, I would be taking 13+ on the Storm (I am).

Both Panthers and Raiders were absolutely belted into submission and had nothing left for the last 15min. I’m expecting a smarter game from Walsh this time. He doesn’t need to take a couple of carries during the first 3 minutes. Maguire would have a blueprint for Storm and where they can improve on their Panthers game.
Really looking forward to this game.

SInce it's the Stefano thread.

Man he had some good hitups in the game vs Cronulla.

I saw AFB move backwards against him.
Far better form now, for NSW he was near useless.

Storm 22 - 12

Utoikamanu was good is the semi .....calling out Haas and Carrigan isn't wise

As stupid as Gibbs after 2005.
Hoping he is the Broncos pinnate.

 

[Rugba]

I dont know stef from a bar of soap and could have totally wrong impression of him

But out of all that left tigers he has probably rubbed me the wrong way the most . Seems full of it really .

Left the eels
Had the clauses in contract about finals or origin appearances like he is some superstar that demands excellence and then says he is leaving to win premierships then this bullshit about broncos being stuck up , when he finally dominates a game or two

Stefano has changed his body shape under Bellamy....lost 5-7 kgs og fat,and replaced them with attide and stamina.Think he will be picked for Kangaroos as theres not much else other than Tino and Carrigan
