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 😂

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.

Over anylysing what Bellamy said , he came from the tigers after all
read between the lines , Bellamy basically saying , he had to train for the first time of his life and we had to explain to him benji sucks and there are other ways to play the game ... oh and told him a game goes for 80 minutes

Tuivaiti has shown more promise as a rookie in half a season than the 3-4 years we've seen from Stefano at the Tigers. Admittedly he's improving under Bellamy in the Storm system, what most players do, he was selected for Origin this year and done f*ck all to earn his position except play for the Storm. We need someone a bit better than Stefano.

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
Oh certainly. Seems the Melbourne coaching is working. Utoikamanu has the potential to be an Origin starter.
Him and Haas are my starting forwards in origin next year
Those middles are rare as hens teeth and almost always locked up on long term deals with thier respective clubs....
