Stefano Utoikamanu

[Tigerm]

I reckon Seyfarth, Pole and Sione Fainu have outperformed Stef this season. They'd all be on a pittance. Stef wants elite prop level dollars.

He does do some real good hit-ups every game along with a dropped ball or two and his lateral movement defensively needs a tonne of work. He is a work in progress.

Just don’t think we can afford to wait any longer, we are now staring at our 3rd spoon.
These expensive forwards are not delivering, they need to go.

These last few weeks should have been the time for Stefano to really step up and show all the

We can't keep paying guys top dollar and they don't perform.

Apparently, he met with Craig Bellamy after the Storm game at some stage as well.

He is doing the rounds trying to get the best possible contract but delivering sweet f**k all.

He has not earnt the right to have a contract extension at the price he desires. Im guessing our price is now the highest and wherever else he goes, he will be going for less.

Yeah it's an interesting strategy he's employed.
If we was a stock:

Playing to his potential would have been enough, would have got him a great deal.

Here is the issue though....if he played like he played in the first month, he would have been very much in the frame for Origin, therefore not activating his get out clause.

Lets hope he gets out....Im tired of him.

Storm 'not entirely confident' on Utoikamanu, maybe find out tomorrow?

Stefano Utoikamanu has been negotiating with rivals but the Tigers' chance of keeping him could be strong.
--------------------
We should downgrade our offer as well and give him incentives to get pay increases.

I reckon he is exactly what we need if he can get some consistency to his game but I can't justify a 800k pay packet. I reckon Twal, Pole, Seyfarth and Sione Fainu do a better job more consistently.

I don't think we should give him incentives or special contract payments. He needs to commit and work on his game.

If he goes no problems.
