Re: Mantellato : Sat Apr 18, 2015 5:59 am  
I think if you look at his stats v's the other 3 he is ahead in some and on par with others.
I don't think its easy to score when the ball doesn't come down your side - bombed an easy one the other day yes, but had 2 weeks of dissallowed tries - when a similar one was given recently in another game....
He looks slow but his strides are long, haven't seen him in full flight in a super league game yet, he does have some speed when he winds up.
I think Dixon and Cockayne make more errors - silly errors if you know what I mean.
Having said that they are all human, they are all trying.
I think the team is going well considering we have no forwards, and they are practically all new to each other. Big fellas up front is what we need.

Finally someone with a football brain and talk commonsense.
In a recent game against St Helens Welham made a break and passed the ball to Albert Kelly in full flight and beside Kelly was Mantellato running shoulder to shoulder with Kelly. It just goes to show that his long strides make him look slow. In relation to scoring tries look at the stats and you will find that over 80% of tries are scored down our right side which is Sio and Kelly side of the field. Rovers have not utilised his height when bombing the opposition.

I'm pretty sure Roopy also made a comment in relation to this in one of his posts, without trawling through all of them i'm pretty sure he said Josh could more than keep up with one or two of the known speedsters in Australia.
As you say, although he may appear slower than some other wingers, his long strides will allow him to cover more ground with each stride, not rocket science when you stop to think about it. :)

I wouldn't put him down in the top 10 wingers for speed, but I don't think he'd be in the bottom 10 either.
His height is his top weapon.
Once saw him matched up against Dimitri Pelo in a NSW cup game at Cessnock. That was a mismatch for the ages.
Pelo is about 4 foot tall I think, and Josh didn't even have to jump to beat him every time.
I think Josh got 3 tries that day.

He looks a bit awkward to me, like Bambi on ice at times.

Top point scorer in the comp till this round. Strong brave good in the air defending and attacking. Very few errors. Looks like a very decent winger to me. Strong finisher too.

Rovers fans obsession with finding a place for the bigot baffles me. Yes lots of effort but lots of errors and penalties. Good off the bench.

Dixon Mantellato and Sio look like the future to me and a good one too.

I agree I'm sick of hearing cockayne gives 100% and all that give me a great player giving 75%

^^^^^^ This. He was found out as not being good enough 1st time around, so we decide to give him another go in his 30's.
