The little pocket rocket

I thought it was a strange signing when he came to the club from park football. Now he seems to be a very important part of the team. Utai has been great this year.
 
He's not what i'd consider SAFE under the high ball.

He's SMART under the high ball.

The best one was when a midfield bomb went up, and Utai literally walked casually towards where the ball was going to land. He knew exactly where it was going, and what was about to happen.

MATAI runs through at a squillion miles and hour and jumps high to catch it….

then Utai CRUNCHED HIM. Perfect ball and all belly to belly suplex style tackle. Turnover. our ball, and Matai once again getting up clutching his shoulder.

Showed a real sense of experience tonight, something that our team sometimes misses.
 
Utai was fantastic tonight. Not in our top 3 IMO but pretty bloody close.

He does the dirty metres when no one wants to do it. Funnily enough though against Manly they were all putting their hands up to get stuck in.

i like to refer to Matai as rugby leagues softest hard man, he seems to get an injury in every game
