He can pull his head in or **** off.

I love him but his antics are costing us big time.

He's too experienced to be making such rookie mistakes.
I love Mulitalo & one of my favourites but he's got to up his game, bad defence & rusty under the high ball.

There was a brief period a few years ago when he was a great aerial attacking threat. I seem to recall us kicking towards the centre, him coming in field and catching it above their heads.

Haven't seen him to anything like it since. All he attempts now are these knock backs that are super hit and miss. He has the ability - aim higher.

I’m still livid with him. That try ended up being so costly as well. Just braindead, I don’t get how a professional footballer can be that stupid. I just don’t.
Very costly, hope he gets his **** together.

Too many brainfarters in this team.

Will never forget that loss to the warriors in 23. Up by a lot and just chirped and chirped and Pompey i think it was made him his bitch.

I looked at that try on his wing, and the Panthers had 8-on-6 on the right side of the field when the ball was played. Kennedy came across from the ruck (after making the previous tackle) to make it 7 Panthers vs 6 Sharks.

Iro went for the centre (3rd man in) initially before adjusting too late as Edwards wrapped around. Ronaldo mirrored him and took Edwards

You’d need a defensive coach to work out exactly who to blame if anyone. But it’s not as simple as Ronaldo leaving his winger

It is, for the simple

Genuinely interested as to why he now seems to want to jump up and bat the ball back 80% of the time.

Bloke is an athletic weapon who can jump over the top of most blokes in contesting the ball, particularly in attack when he has the run on to it.

Penrith did a good job on blocking his path a number of times.

Might have something to do with the quality of the balls put up in the air, but i find it a little frustrating.

I’d say he rarely ever gets a free run to the ball now, it’s like pinball trying to dodge the blockers, so he doesn’t have momentum to catch it and keep going. We never get a call for the escorts

Ramien does it on other sides
Presumably a play style choice

Probably a fair element

Ronaldo on the Footy Show's "Turn it Up" segment on Sunday:


Well worth a watch. Covers the Vegas game including his penalty.

Pulled his head in after Vegas and was focused on the task at hand

Had some big moments and was busy, really is an athlete

I think the errors attributed to him in the stats were mostly in contested bombs which are tough to take cleanly? Should have got a disrupter penalty for at least one when the Cows player came storming through, bumped Ronnie and got no where near the all

Another one was called knock on but I'm not so sure

Anyways a strong game from him
