Marlee and Me on 9Podcasts Ronaldo Mulitalo – A unique method of dealing with social media trolls, growing up homeless and the love for his mother make for a captivating new episode of Marlee and Me, with Cronulla Sharks try scoring sensation Ronaldo Mulitalo.
Host Marlee Silva sits down with the enigmatic Sharks speedster to detail his difficult path to realising his NRL dream, which has been anything but smooth and easy.
From growing up in South Auckland before moving with his family to Queensland for a better life, Mulitalo spent some of his childhood homeless and sleeping in the leaky garage of a family friend’s home. There were dark times and plenty of uncertainties, but it was the fearlessness and strength of his Mum which was the guiding light for him and his siblings through it all.
Now one of the most exciting wingers in the game, Mulitalo has made a name for himself through his try scoring acrobatics and a passion on the field that sometimes boils over and gets under his opponents skin. Off the field, he’s larger than life. A true extrovert that describes himself as someone who gets his energy from being around his teammates and having a good time.
