Official Ronaldo Mulitalo

[bort]

He’s had a poorer second half of season but looked very strong at times. Wouldn’t surprise me to find he’s hindered by injury.
Has also been quieter in terms of his attitude which is interesting - because he’s hindered? Because he’s ‘off’? A conscious effort to manage it (so it’s a good thing?)?

Has shown talent to be an elite NRL winger though - hoping for more of the big games next season.

He and Sione are not a superstar pair of wingers but they do pretty well for us

I think he must have been playing with an injury as he just wasn't running at the line on ball returns like he was earlier , always crabbing , bloody annoying because he usually lost ground .

What the **** was he thinking in the first try.

"I'm going to play the system and follow my centre and half in here and... oh **** I fell over and Sam Walker threw a massive forward pass. All good, the ref will call it... what? WHAT? **** ME!!!?"

It's a good listen

Shock NRL star revealed as game's fastest player

The Canterbury Bulldogs speedster has haunted countless defences with his incredible pace over the years, earning him a reputation as one of the best wingers in the game.

edit: just saw that this old news had already been posted in another thread.

I was wondering whether the Telstra tracker recorded him when he was on his way down from one of his giant leaps

Yeah I’d be interest to see a clip of him when he measured that time. Doubt he had the ball in his hands?

Remember he got chased down by Flegler couple seasons back, and was lucky his collar ripped. Flegler no slouch for a prop but still…

You’ve got Ronnie at top speed thanks to gravity, I’ll throw a different one out there - probably reached it trying to be third man in on some push and shove!

He looks fast as on those slingshot plays. I reckon most teams have someone who would catch him over 100m though.

Maybe takes a while to get to top speed so not too hard to run down if you can get a decent start on him

Slingshots work well as he’s already in motion

After his hit on Holmes, this bloke deserves to be a Sharks Immortal.

I would think the fastest a winger runs in a game would be chasing after an opposition break.

Roger Fabri has rubbished this whole thing as gimmicky. I agree.

 

[stormshark]

Slashing game from him. Well done.

Loved his one on one tackle on Val.

Wonder if he would if it was someone he trained at the top?

It’s an interesting stat but unless Ronnie starts blitzing past blokes regularly it’s obviously not translating into our attack

Hoping Ronnie comes into preseason at another level after a good tournament.
Individually not as good but hopefully Nicho learnt from DCE in Aus camp too

For sure it's a gimmick.

There would be a bunch of useful data that the teams and coaches would get out of it. The stuff the public sees though... I put this stuff in the same category as the All Stars game. Kids and casual fans love it, but the rusted-on fans know it doesn't mean much.

I dunno, it seems to mean a bit to the players.

In relation to the NRL it means nothing.

A 10/10 performance in the All Stars game with unlimited interchange will win a player some fans but it means zero to his NRL team if he plays like **** in round 1.

OK I think we're talking about two different things.
