Recalled New South Wales prop Stefano Utoikamanu has heaped praise on his new club Melbourne Storm after agitating and successfully getting a release from his former club, Wests Tigers.
Speaking to Channel 10 on Tuesday, the 25-year-old said the switch to the Victorian capital had been, “the best thing for me.”
Utoikamanu will start from the bench for the Blues in State of Origin in Game II in Perth.
When pushed by Channel 10 on his departure from Wests Tigers, the hulking tyro said the club had “too much noise” around it.
Wests Tigers currently sit 14th with a 5-8 record after winning three-straight wooden spoons.
