Stefano State of Mind/Origin.

[twentyforty]

he doesn't play for nsw he can leave in 2025 so outlook not that good
tipping he does leave and goes to a heavyweight club or the dogs who need a prop

He would have caught the eye of Chooks when he stood his ground in a face off with JWH. It doesn’t get better than the big middles shirt fronting lol

Well let’s hope this rejection spurs him in to prove a point, to himself, his club and Madge.
( PS. Does anyone know where/why he got the nickname Madge ?)

Hope so mate.

Stefano reminds me of the late Jerry Collins the ex All Black.

He was great but I thought he could have been more aggressive.

If Stef turns out half as good as Jerry, we'll all be pretty happy.

Look at the forwards for NSW and can see why Stef missed out. It’s up to him to lift and earn the spot, hope he does.

Is it that easy ? Ok thanks.
I thought he might have had some strange dress up habits 🤣🤣🤣

I like Stef but damn sure if his form was better that he would be in the SOO squad, and that is the only reason he wasn't picked.

Of course TT so let’s hope he gets that !!!
And gets angry about it !!!

Think it was ridiculous he was picked ahead of Klemmer last year to be honest.

I thought it was because he copped so much criticism that he was actually soaking in it.

I love Stefano and i would die for the NSW Blues,

But in truth, he hasnt deserved the call up as yet.

Stef needs to be the animal that he can be like Addin and Payne haas

You would actually die for the NSW Blues... are you sure?
I reckon Stef is just now showing us what he can do, so a big possibility for the Blues next year.

I’ll go this year, provided he holds his current form. He seems to put someone on their bum everytime he hits the line, and haven’t we been waiting for that.
His defence much better now, and Madge knows his potential. I can see him in the squad.
But keep it up at club level first Stef, we’re loving it !

There are certain things I’d die for but the Blues wouldn’t be one of them.
But each to his own.
