It's interesting how many people were saying that an alpha prop and a quality 7 are needed to be a premiership threat and I'll include myself in that camp. But it seems with Sexy improving his game that a quality 7 is less urgent and with very promising juniors coming through the long term future should be fine.
What I find a little confusing is why isn't the kennel getting excited about the prospect of an alpha prop being halfway through the clubs front door. And still young to boot!
Of course many are but this guy could be the next Critta for us. If we do sign him I think it could be a huge piece in our premiership puzzle. Make it happen Gus!

I think because he isn't an alpha atm, he may become one.

I'll be watching him closely the rest of the season to see if he starts to go hard or just puss out. Maybe having his future sorted will make him grow a pair and fire up now?

Usually players play hard for a contract, he did the opposite.

Sometimes happens and maybe not in this case but I have a feeling the Tiges may(i just wouldn't bet much on it lol)have a little late season run of decent form eg are they a sneaky of going alright tonight at Leichhardt? Dunno could be way off..
If they did he may go along for the ride.

IMO he is a forward who constantly is able to bend the line with his runs and the game the other week vs the storm he was fired up after having talks with Bellamy and obviously had a point to prove. His first stint was incredible and if Ciro is able to motivate him like he has done with our team this year he will be a killer signing for us. Personally, would love to see him used off the bench like a Leniu type as he has the body for it just need to make him mad on the sideline before he runs out.

I'm not writing him off at all, just not impressed with him this year.

But if Gus wants him then I hope we get him.

Plenty of people have seen the potential, just like many others he had lost his way at the Tigers.

I think we all will, now his escape is locked in and future confirmed there is no reason to hold back. Although someone won't be happy if he gets injured and misses preseason.

But, a big but, if he played hard he might have been selected for SOO, which would remove his escape clause. Consciously or subconsciously he had to have thoughts about holding back.

Valid points bro. I just hope if we get him he fits into our system. I'm sure he will if Gus and CC want him.

But stil weary from past experiences.

So many people on here have “sources” bro. It’s usually bullshit. Show me proof or fk off. It’s just like the fan pages on social media. All based on rumour and bs spouted online.

I don’t really care one way or the other if we get Stefuto so whatevs. If we do get him, it’s not like it’s certain he will become the player we’d want him to be. Very risky move but for the right money, worth it considering our need for an alpha prop.

He'd be ok to have, but not at the expense of Presto

Don't blame Gus for hating that ****.

He rocked up to a JRL game once, read the room and done the bolt after 6-7 mins.

A lot of enemies...

The last thing we need after the last few years is that **** getting his tendrils into our club. 1 Moses would be bad enough,2 would be a nightmare
