Ronaldo Mulitalo, known for his ability to rile up opponents on the rugby league field, has acknowledged the need to reassess his on-field banter after a tough lesson last season.
The Kiwi international, who has made a name for himself with his verbal stoushes, admitted that his clash with Warriors wing Ed Kosi in Round 5 of the 2023 campaign led to a series of crucial errors that cost his team the game.
Despite scoring an early try to give his team a 20-0 lead, Mulitalo's confrontations with Kosi seemed to have thrown him off his game, resulting in a disappointing 32-30 loss for Cronulla.
The 22-year-old winger has since expressed the need to mature and pick his battles more wisely on the field, realizing that his verbal sparring can sometimes do more harm than good for his team.
With this newfound insight, Mulitalo is determined to find a balance between his aggressive playing style and maintaining composure to avoid costly mistakes in future games.
