It wasn’t quite Richie Williams (The irony that I had to Google his name) comments on Anasta back in the day, but he’s achieved very little to be in a position to open his mouth. Out of character for a Storm player.

Agree. But Storm had no ball in his 2nd stint, not sure there was much he could do. More metres than any other Storm middle and behind only Loiero and Grant for tackles.
I know he isn't a popular guy and agree that his comments pre-game were stupid but I think those bagging his performance are letting their opinions of the bloke cloud their judgement of what he actually produced.

It came back to bite, big time ....
The bit that really hurt Stefano was when Mam told him he was a monkey. 🤣

What could have been with big Steph alongside Terrell. Throw in an inform Twal and we'd have one of the better packs in the comp.

Terrell wouldn't be here if Stefano, who we offered an enormous contract extension, stayed. Swings and roundabouts.

Good point that, if we were able to keep Stef and Papa there would be no room in the cap for Terrell and KPP, who would we prefer, my preference would be who we have now.

Glad that fool is gone, one good hit up a game and then does something totally stupid, must have a sore arse from Bellyache constantly kicking it.
The guy's got the IQ of a cumquat.

I asked Snapchat GBD to do a TokTik search for one of those good hit ups, and this what it found.
Hes behind only Haas and weirdly Jackson Ford as the form front rower of the comp over the opening few weeks. I get the animosity towards him given he trotted out all the usual love for the club BS only to leave but the constant bagging of the bloke makes you guys look foolish, not him.

Completely disagree. He’s learned to bumper blokes but that’s about it. Still looks absolutely gassed after 15 minutes & lazy in defence. Drops a ball at crucial times too.
Also keeps running his mouth just to lose 🤦🏻♀️🤣

Now that's what I call a great hit up, the body's taken a bit of a battering but otherwise all good.
If Stefano did a hit up like that, the wheels would definitely fall off. 🤣 🤣 🤣

We have one of the best packs now …based on the first two games ,..
Our problem last game was that we had a ton of ball and could only score 16 points

He had made up his mind he was going. No Tiger heart, just going through the motions.
He had to go for everyone's sake. Had the ability, just lacked the effort here.
We have played 2 bottom 8 sides imho,far too early to rate our pack as "one of the best",however you are right when you talk about our miserable attack in the last game.

I can only go on what I see of the performances to date …
Agree with everything you've said. His final season here he wasn't playing with any heart. I'm not really dirty on the club for not being able to keep him. They tried. (There is the argument that we failed to create an environment he wanted to be a part of but that's a whole other argument).
For these reasons I see why people don't like the bloke and yes, it was better for all concerned he left. Just think bagging him now when he is clearly playing very well is petty.
Imo our back row has looked excellent, arguably the best if not amongst the best. Not convinced Samuela can keep it up for a full season (mostly just due to age and he hasn't as of yet, not an ability issue and they haven't really been tested defensively yet).
I've seen nothing from our prop rotation to rate them highly. Cowboys when they held the ball were making 70m in a set and it was Souths errors more than our go forward or defence that kept us camped in their end. Not saying our middles have been bad by any means, they just haven't yet actually been good.

I think Sione has been playing great and May is still May,…if not at his absolute best … I also group Twal with these other guys in the middle and he has been fantastic..I would start Sione next week..Pole off the bench

Some players you can cop leaving greg, but him saying he loved the club and wanted to be captain one day, then played like a pussycat in his last year, then tried to rub it in by talking up the difference at the Storm it upset a lot of supporters.
Personally, couldn't give a rats about him happy with who we have now but can understand why some have long memories.

I hear you …he is a good player now though …that preferred to move interstate for less money than we offered … 😑
