Stefano Utoikamanu

[Ryan]

Can we just possibly get Sam Fainu back ?

 

[Rocky]

So true feathered friend , The NRL is not a game of touch footy and sound tackling is essential

Defence does not win you games unless you can outscore your opposition
And Speed Kills

Sit back and Enjoy feathered friends

Fair play to you Bozo.

Only you could turn a thread about an opposition prop into a speed kills backline comment and video.

Lets get a gun centre

Dear Rocky ,
I was responding to our feathered friend Frogz
when he posted Lets get a gun centre

Love Bozo

I like Utoikamanu but May is the play if we are spending money at prop.

May is the Play !
Love your work @Disco
May does seem to be the more dominant player

 

[hozza]

I’m on the no team, hasn’t shown anywhere near enough to command the money he’d be no doubt asking for.

And just quietly, how good is having footy back!

I'd rather we got Villiami Fifita back, I think he's going to be a MONSTER

 

[frank stokes]

Don’t mind him as a player but not for mine purely because of the coin he will be commanding… for that dollar I would rather target Max King or Kamikamika at the Storm who are not contracted beyond next year…

King just re-signed until end of 2027

My bad, I meant JOSH King at Storm… Max is at dogs and you are correct he just resigned…

Clayton is indeed Capable of Great things on the field feathered friend

and also coming along very nicely is Lehi Hopoate

Does anyone know where this rumour came from? If someone can post the link that would be great.

It's just scuttlebutt, came out last week that he had a release clause if Tigers don't make the 8. Since then he has been linked with any club that might have a interest in signing a prop. Smells like a player manager chumming the waters.

Agreed… one (of the many) things that Manly have got right in recent (very recent) times is that the door to the recruitment office has stayed shut…
James, Brooks and Paulo were all done deals before they became news… there had been a rumour about Brown but it was a looong time before we actually signed him (so maybe the leak was still employed then or it may have been a “false dawn”?)
Talau, Lodge, the StMerge deal and the Fainu(s) deals were media fodder though… Hmmmm, I wonder what the (former) connection could be…?

 

[LeonardCohen]

Tigers can keep him,a lumbering plodder.

He's definitely got some shortcomings in his game, but 'lumbering' and 'plodding' are definitely not two of them. He clocked 34.8km/h on the Telstra Tracker, ran down Tom T from behind last year (albeit Tom was tentative) and is well known for his speed over the advantage line.

I think work rate and defence are two areas he could improve.

 

[Super Manly Bros]

Obviously, he'd be a really good signing. The guy has great leg speed and a good bump. Just what we need. It's no fait accompli that we'd get him, but I am pretty sure Hales and Lambkin coached Stefano at Westfields. Then you've got the likes of Talau, Chan Kum Tong, Schuster, Saab, and Paseka etc. that all attended that same school.

He's exactly what we need. This would be a great signing for us if we cant get May

 

[robbiea]

Give me a Flegler anyday.

 

[ManlyTragic]

Centres also need to know how to tackle. Speed isn't everything.

You can coach someone how to tackle but you can’t coach speed.

Just sayin’

Just my opinion on what I see from him,we all see things differently.
