Official Ronaldo Mulitalo

Was surprised to see him not go the natural side with Iro.

But definitely bought the energy and agree he was awesome tonight.
 
Any thoughts on him playing on the right wing tonight?

Still looked pretty awesome I reckon.

Is it a sign that SS has Katoa’s spot now even when he comes back from injury?
I don’t mind it in attack as Iro wastes him a bit. I know Ramien not amazing in that regard but think Ramien works better with Ronnie than he does with Stonestreet (whose timing is different).

Not liking Iro and SS in defence though… Ronnie might be able to improve that side
 
I love his enthusiasm and energy. We needed him back.

But, gee, it's says a lot about a group (and not in a good way) when the team leader is the winger.
 
SS is the long term option. Though it wouldn't hurt to drop him back to Newtown for a while when Katoa is back - give his body a bit of a rest.


I’m keen to see if SS lifts a bit when we have both Katoa and Hiroti as back up.

He might have been a bit comfortable when there was no pressure, or not as much
 
There is a lot more to being a winger than the return balls, SS is fast, great in the air and can find the tryline well. Katoa is so slow he gets run down by props.
I like Sione, but I think most of SS's criticism comes from the fact he can't crab across field for 40 metres while rebounding of 5 would-be tacklers for a modest forward gain.
