Roopy is 100% correct about the story of living on a small farm building goal post for kicking practice. At the moment KR fans know nothing about Mantellato in time they will. They have no idea what drives his determination. Everything that he has done he did all himself without help from others. He keeps setting goals for himself and he sets them fairly high as well that's why I think he will succeed in the SL.

The only difference?

I think I will wait a while before I make such bold claims, I clearly don't study the NSW Cup like you do.

If roopy says its a good deal, I think I may take his opinion over yours. No offence squire.

I haven't given an opinion on him stan I was just sticking up for our binman

Your picture profile sums you up perfectly,possibly a lot dim would be more appropriate but hey who is counting.

Rubbish. Or should I say garbage.

to be fair you do sign quite a lot of overseas players, guess if your academy set up isn't producing enough talent, and your coach is an Ozzie, then inevitable I guess.

Our coach is an Aussie is he? Do you follow RL at all?

Were within the rules it isn't as if we have loads more than anyone else and our coach Is English

yeah Luv, not sooper league though......though tbf it was an ozzy a month ago.

yes but that's not you said and a month ago we had 2 less Aussies why are Leigh fans so obsessed with our overseas contingent

Mantellato currently plays and trains with Michael Dobson and Clint Newton.
I believe those two guys' opinions count for something at your club, and I have no doubt someone at your club would have picked up the phone and asked them about Josh.

It might be of interest to you that Josh was nearly always a fullback before he joined the Knights. He even played for Italy as a fullback before Minichello joined the team and represented NSW country as a fullback. I've only seen him play fullback twice, but he looked very safe under the high ball and very confident in the position.
