this year a lot of people have been saying utai is in poor form and in various time throughout the year (in particualr after round 2) many fans have called for his head.


i was just looking at some stats.

utai is the only bulldog player averaging more than 10 meters per hit up



that is absolutely phenomenal if you ask me.


he has only 5 tries from 19 games but has made some mega big meters.


i think if dogs see september action this year utai will play a huge part.


judging by those stats i think utai is very close to a hat trick of tries in the next few week.



if dogs go to the final about 10 more game or so

expect utai to bag 12 or more tries

He's scored a few less tries than he was scoring last year but hes been just as, if not more dangerous this year. His defence can still be a little shabby at times but it has improved a lot. In the earlier rounds teams like the Cowgirls were attacking him because he was seen as a weakness but now he is certainly not to be messed with (most of the time:D)

Utai is a champion club man,He copped a cheap shot in the Broncos game and teams like to try and target him cause he is a strong little bulldozer espeacially close to the line,I reckon he should get more ball.

when utai catches a bomb its by fluke, its always been that way :p

utai isnt out of form at all, the only thing he hasnt been doing is crossing the tryline, we are just used to him hitting up the double digits for trys at this side of the season. Hes playing fine footy other than that.

I think the only reason why he hasn't been able to score many tries is because he hasn't got the support he had last year... once we get the full team back, he will be crossing that line quite often!

he was out of form early on this year, but over the last two months he has been awesome. I agree with what was said above that the reson he is not scoring tries is due to the fact that we have had injuries all year, therefore matty aint getting quality ball. Plus we have had allsorts of dramas scoring tries in the opposition 20.

Tell you what, if everyone played the way Utai did on Sunday, we wouldnt have lost. He always gives it his go even when he's out of form.

I wouldnt swap him for ANY other winger in the world.
