WOOOHOOO UTAIIII

 

[pha_t0ny]

who knows, if he can catch a ball he might be in there every week

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

This can mean two things; Utai is starting to find his feet once again, or there are some very average wingers in the NRL (mainly referring to this week). But having said that he did have a solid game i thought against the Dragons, needs to work on his obvious weakness though.

i think utai knows he ahs to start to produce some form.

I don't read there too often so i wouldn't see it, but i don't see why it shouldn't be in the bulldogs section cause this is discussing the dogs players that were selected.

i think Utai is too short but he seriously played good last weekend.hope he keeps it up

Are you a retard? Do you watch rugby league? Did you not see all the meters he made us out of dummy half ? It took 3 defenders to bring him down everytime ? How can you not see that ****?

 

[robdog]

Utai looks like a bulldog,hope he plays the house down weekend

 

[rogueflare]

The try they scored down Utais wing on the weekend wasnt his fault... Tonga got into a crap position, turned his back to the attack, had no idea where the ball was, and was in Utais way... Utai couldnt contest the ball, or tackle the player with the ball, because Tonga was in his way.

To be honest, that try down Utai's wing is the only black mark on his game, and that wasnt his fault... he played great, he will back it up this week, he knows his nuts are on the line, and if he doesnt, he is gone (especially with Haz coming back).

every year theres a bandwagon to jump on

The Hughes is crap went for a couple of years
