Mantellato : Mon Apr 13, 2015 7:20 pm  
Watching the game on Saturday mate of mine commented that mantellato is not justifying his place in the team at the moment. He's currently missing kicks which is basically why he's in the team. Without the kicking he doesn't offer much more. Doesn't run his weight, no pace and has dropped a few high bombs (yes, some were tricky but he's got a foot start on everyone else). He also bombed a simple chance to get us back in the game on Saturday. For me, and I'm not his biggest fan
for non rugby reasons, cockayne needs to be on the wing as offers a lot more. Maybe think I'm a bit harsh but 1 first grade appearance for a 27 year old seems to now make sense.

I agree with Josh I noticed at saints game that maybe we should give Dixon a go on the wing and put Ben at full back, but i thought BC defence on the wing on sat was excellent so Dixon or charlie on the wing and who ever doesn't play on wing to play at full back which ever Chester decides Josh should be given a rest

Re: Mantellato : Mon Apr 13, 2015 11:51 pm  
I disagree! ......Josh has been there to finish tries (just like a good winger should do), he has taken high balls kicked on the last tackle (just like a good winger should do), he has ran the ball out of his own 20m line and relieved his forwards (just like a good winger should do) and he has kicked 2 points more times than he has missed 2 points! .....Just because his team mates haven't put him in the clear and because he has missed a couple of kicks and bombed a solitary try within the Castleford game, this is the reason why he should be dropped?! ......Dixon booted the ball out and gave Castleford a 30m head start, should he also be dropped for this misdemeanor?

He would be getting a fraction of the money someone like Sio or Blair is getting.
I don't know what you pay your local players, but as an import he signed for minimum just to have a chance to make it in a senior comp.
I haven't seen much of your play, but from what I've read he hasn't been getting many opportunities to show what he can do.
He is faster than he looks because most guys who take long strides appear to be going slower than guys who take short strides, but I've seen him outrun guys like Bryson Goodwin and other noted speedsters.

I don't think you should compare him to your other imports, but to your local players, because he isn't on the sort of money you pay for an experienced NRL player.

He's done well in my mind one poor game along with 16 other players that day also

I thought he was close to being MOM against Huddersfield. As Frankie said they all had an off day against Cas. It's hard for a winger to have an impact when your pack has been smashed.

Hey I've got an idea if you don't want him start a forum to get rid of him i'm sure you will get huge support. Better still I hear Ryan Hall is out for a few weeks maybe loan him to Leeds and he will come back and bite KR in the booty hahahahah.

I couldn't hear the robin sing if not for you.

Re: Mantellato : Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:42 pm  
I thought Josh Mantellato had his best game for us against Huddersfield (although not with the boot).

Against Cas he had an opportunity which he didn't make the most of and missed his only goalkick by a distance. He didn't have much chance to make amends we were on the back foot all game.

I wouldn't judge him on the Cas game alone especially after he did well the week before but for me we still haven't seen the very best of Ken Sio yet he is the 2nd top try scorer in SL with 9, Mantellato has 2, that probably reflects the difference in class between them.

Josh really has to get his kicking boots back on if he wants to remain a first choice pick. Early in the season he was kicking everything from everywhere but the nerves seem to have kicked in and he is missing eminently kickable ones now. it's just fortunate it didn't cost us against Saints and Huddersfield.

Dixon is a very special talent with express pace who can win a game in an instant, Cockayne is a ball of energy who will die for the cause and has the best understanding of full back play than anyone else we have.......... to make the team Josh has to keep one of them out. That can be justified only if he returns to top goalkicking form, without that he doesn't offer as much as the other two, IMO.

I like him. Good defender, carries the ball strongly and is deceptively quick. Nailed on left winger all season

I think someone has a personal issue rather than a rugby league issue with Mantellato
