Well obviously you didn't watch the opening World Cup game between Italy and Wales where Mantellato scored a try and leaped above the welsh defender to take a cross field bomb and off load to Tedesco to score possibly the game of the game.

Hope so mate

Oh, I probably did, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's rubbish, I was more inviting comments that he's good. I'm awful at remembering games even when I'm there, I'm usually reading the paper or being a pillock on social media when something salient matters.

No worries. if KR are after him Mantellato won't let anyone down. He never got a real chance at the Knights behind Uate and McManus. He stands at 6 ft 5, he is great in the air, defensively strong, try scorer and an awesome goal kicker. In his NRL debut last year he scored a try and kicked 3 goals, 2 were from the side line. I think he will be a good asset for the team.

Cheers for the heads up chief.

Hope you'll be a regular contributor.

You should have just stopped there. I can't be responsible if dimwits like you want to make a public show of themselves.

Read back a couple of pages and see how popular you are,only jake seems to be on the same wavelength as you,which says it all,two dullers together.


Interestingly pusher posted the same as me that mantellato was behind uate and mcmanus at newcastle,going to have a go at him are you ?

If its' a battle of wits your after then you need to look elsewhere. I won't fight an unarmed man.

I notice you didnt answer my question.

You're not really worthy of an answer, but no, I won't as it's not particularly worth commenting on. Some of us know all about Mantellato and his place in the Newcastle squad thanks to roopy.

I did know,thats why I posted for those who didnt.

Josh Mantellato has only had one game of firstgrade this year, and won't get another now that two amazing junior wingers have debuted last week, but for the third year in a row he looks like being the top pointscorer in NSW cup (reserve grade comp) - and this year Newcastle don't have a top side, so topping the pointscoring from a side struggling to make the finals is a top effort.

He is deadset point scoring machine.

I follow Parra out here and am gutted to be losing Sio. He has come on leaps and bounds last couple of years and showing his true potential this year. Fast, strong and elusive, plus he knows where the try line is. Mainly played on the wing, but has been more than a capable replacement for Jarryd Hayne when he was out through the origin period. You have snared a good un here and you won't be disappointed.

Might be a bit of a surprise signing at halfback from us for next season .

Horne? do tell us more

Care to spill the beans?

A young Aussie, you haven't signed him yet, but have held talks with him.

Oddly Id be ok with that if were losing Hodgson move Keating to 9. Id be more worried if he doesnt have Burns at 6 tho still prob wont happen how many foreign places would we have then ?

From fc?

miller im guessing Dave means Oafy

I'd rather go with one of our young lads, miller has been bang average in the games he's played.

I got told afew weeks ago now we had signed miller i hoped it was a fc fan winding me up

have we got any that are ready

I agree he has but from the derby freindly at start of season where he was put in with the kids has he been given a crack at proving what he can do im not saying id be overjoyed but maybe new club new system new bloke could work, I think a bit of Keatings problem has been choices of plays as we dont seem to have guys running lines for him to pick from but from the Hull games iv seen they offer even less so what can a half do. Id be more worried about it being a quota spot but I dont profess toknow where we stand on that.
