Stefano Utoikamanu #241

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.

He was great in both their semi finals.
First time in his career I’ve sat back, rubbed my chin and thought, OK, so now I get the hype 🤔

Good luck to him on Sunday - here’s hoping he doesn’t become just another Payne Haas speed bump

Who would have thought - decent forward joins Melbourne and plays finals footy. I'm shocked.

Stefano was outstanding against the sharks.
Not sure he'll have the same impact against the Broncos, but who knows, especially if he maintains that attitude.

He lost me when he left.
I'll never be a fan.

He's gone from the spoon to the grand final.
Lucky him.

Yep its just a bit meh.

He could of toughed it out on good money at the Tigers in the hope of turning it around, instead he has walked into the prem favourites this year. I don't really care for him, but I also don't hold it against him.

I honestly don't think ice and stef had what it took to lead us off the bottom anyway. Talent, yes, attitide, no.

Galvin is a different story to the above.

This is just romanticism from an emotionally invested supporter. He’s been training with them since last November. And whether you love or hate him, he’s earned where he is. It’s one thing to criticise Galvin who walked into a club mid season who was on top of the ladder. Stef had the entire off season. And I’m supposed to be angry cos he didn’t want to stay and finish 13th?

Here is am defending him and others are now ripping him

Stefano just needed the right coach.
Bit like May and Pole - Stefano isn’t a long running forward his frame is impact which is effective.

This is year 1 for him it normally takes 18mths for forwards in the Storm system to hit their straps. Stefano though has hit form at the right time.

Congrats to him. He backed himself, got paid & benefits heaps better than he was going to get here plus is a real shot of getting a ring.

Agree with this but in saying that he is a weak human for some of the games he played like Moses in alot of ways

Gave up on himself the club and fans

I think Madge will be backing Hass into a corner revving him up saying defend your team mates defend the club your the man Hass nobody talks about YOU like that

It's all about you Hass prove your the best Prop in the game your not his Bit(H

Any idea how much Hass is paying for medal winner?

 

[happy_tiger]

Hoping he is the Broncos pinnate.
