Stefano is the type of middle we need…

He's dominating the sharks middles, been best on ground. Unfortunately Storm have a never ending salary cap and he plays with the rest of their representative team 😂

    • That's a fair comment you've got to realise when he was here he had to beat out Paulo and RCG who were SoO and internationals at the time also.So while it's all well and good saying we should have kept him but he hasn't produced consistent form for those given years is a tough one.He did nothing at the Tigers nothing at the top level with us and now he's playing for the best coach in the league and the strongest franchise for the last 2 decades they've picked him up at the right time and he's flourishing.

      What it really is imo is a guy whose finally mentally and physically matured when he was here he was far from that.

      • Spot on Coryn. We did the right thing, Tigers offered him more than double what we offered, front rowers take time to mature, and he is only going to get better.

  • I know it's annoying. Tuivati and Talagi hopefully be our props of future.

  • Stefano has done fuck all at the storm. Last night he finally has a dig and all of a sudden its back to these blogs...."how did we let Stefano go". 

    The fact is His father had a fallout with Arthur over the handling of his other son. Stefano was never staying whilst arthur was coach.

    Also when arthur was punted Stefano whilst getting chased by dogs and storm was waiting to see who the next eels coach was going to be as he was considering coming back. Obviously that wasn't going to happen as we still had gutho and reg on the books and no cap space.

    • It's more we could have brought him back but the Storm who already have like 5 million dollar players got him 😂 

    • Stefano has been good for Melbourne, his issue always has been consistency.

      • He won't hit his peak until he's 26/27. But if he keeps playing like he did last night the world's his oyster 

  • Those middles are rare as hens teeth and almost always locked up on long term deals with thier respective clubs....

  • One thing Melbourne are very good at is identifying his job and that's all the given foward or back has to do and that's all that's happening with Stefano he's being the physical middle that's attracting a lot of defensive numbers and is making headway most times.Even Bellamy was saying he took his time to integrate into how the Storm operate basically to me that's unspoken get rid of all the bad habits he's had at other stops and now he is fully Melbournenised you are seeing what he really is within there system.

"He's not worth 1 million, thats Cameron Munster or Deardon money.  Dylan is too hit and miss to be wearing that, and Newcastle are obviously buying him as an organiser,  which he can't do and never will.  He's worth 75o tops"

"Based on his 2020-2024 form he is definitely worth $1M. It was only this year he fell off a cliff. Is this year an outlier or the new normal? I guess we'll find out."

"He's still not even worth a million, not even remotely close. Maybe a 750-800k player , and no not jilted , I said that long before the Knights bailed us out of his ridiculous contract. "
