NATIONAL TEAM PREVIEW - A look at the Malta national team, Player by player
On Saturday, the Malta Knights take on the Denmark Lions in the the second leg of the 2012 Dove Men+Care International Series at Copenhagen Gentofte Stadium, today Malteserugbyleague.com takes a brief look at how the Malta Knights shape up.
Malta got first points on the board with a 24-12 defeat of the Danes on June 9 and Anthony Micallef’s squad sees only four changes following the unavailability of Cerketa, Frendo and Davies.
Justin Barlogio (Washington DC Slayers):
Australian born and bred Barlogio spent five years based in Malta and playing rugby union before he delved into the rugby league scene and quickly made a name for himself.
With a good rugby league head on his shoulders, Barlogio is now based in the USA but makes his second trip into Europe this year for Malta’s summer internationals and had utility value able to play at halfback/five-eighth as much as he is suited also to hooker which has been his key role for Malta to date.
Paul Bartlett (Maltese Exiles):
The former Cardiff Demons centre has made a name for himself as a regular tryscorer since his debut for Malta in 2009. The 24-year-old was a regular selection until his appointment with the Royal Air Force in January and will be a welcome return to the national team fold. Paul was the 56th player to represent the Malta Rugby League, of 97.
Shaun Bartlett (Maltese Exiles):
Had arguably his best game for Malta against Denmark last June after debuting in the red and white against Norway in 2010. Has played often at fullback but can certainly offer value in the centres. He plays rugby league and rugby union in Wales.
Paul Borg (Widnes St Maries):
A solid no nonsense prop forward. Paul, a Widnes St Maries rugby league player, played rugby union Sevens before making his debut for Malta Rugby League in 2009. In his early 30’s, Shrek as he is affectionately known, is a member of the UK-based Maltese Exiles team and as long as he can overcome some injury concerns will make his seventh appearance for Malta this Saturday.
Danny Burke (London Skolars):
The 26-year-old will make his debut for Malta this Saturday in Copenhagen. Burke plays with London Skolars in England’s Championship One and specialises at hooker but can also fill in at the halfback.
Clifford Debattista (Gozo RC):
Clifford made his debut for Malta in 2010 and soon after instigated the formation of rugby league in Gozo where he is player-coach.
A role model for Gozitan rugby players, Clifford plays in the back row and is accredited as one of only three Level Two coaches in Malta.
John Ellul (Sliema Stompers RL):
Broke into the national team as the 97th ever Malta rugby league international - along with team mate Dragan Cerketa this year after a solid season with Sliema Stompers RL who won the Maltese domestic championship going undefeated.
Cerketa is unavailable for the away leg in Copenhagen but Ellul – also a prop, will be looking to take it to another level in his second national team appearance. Ellul has good size about him and could feature as a destructing figure for the national team just as he is in Malta's Dove Men+Care Championship.
Shaun Gilmour (Maltese Exiles):
The versatile Warrington Wizards centre-come-back rower is also captain of the UK based Maltese Exiles team. Gilmour is always rugby ready, keeping himself well occupied with rugby league and rugby union. The utility can play centre but is equally damaging in the back row and was Malta's 2011 RLEF European Shield Player of the Tournament.
Carl Grima (Maltese Exiles):
Grima will make his national team debut against Denmark and was a standout for the Maltese Exiles in the Unofficial Exiles World Cup in Leeds earlier this month. A centre at club level, Grima is expected to feature at prop or second row and plays for Flimby – leaders of the Cumberland second division league.
Gary Hili (Gozo RC) (pictured right):
A committed young player from the Gozo club, the back-rower is one of the leading players from the sister island’s first rugby league team. Hili made his representative debut for Malta last September against Norway and has grown as a player, taking a hands on role at Gozo RC, as treasurer of the club and an assistant coach.
Shan Francois Hussain (Gozo RC) (pictured left):
The Gozo RC duo made their representative debut in 2011. They provide Gozitans a vision for opportunity for national team honours despite Hussain suffering a well publicised broken leg in his debut appearance against Germany in Hochspeyer last year. Hili and Hussain will likely appear off the interchange bench and utilised in the forwards.
Sam Keep (Malta Origin):
The 20-year-old from Wigan moved to Malta only 12 months ago and his Maltese grandmother leaves him eligible to represent Malta after only one season in the MRL Championship. Keep has a good rugby league brain despite his young age and debuted for Malta last June.
Jonathan Magrin (London Broncos):
Born just outside the Maltese capital at Pieta, Magrin has grown up in England and is signed to the London Broncos Academy where he hopes to break into Super League over the next two seasons. The prop was referred to the MRL by the RFL’s Andy Gilvary following a fact-finding mission to Malta in 2011.
Magrin started playing rugby union at 14 and after two seasons, switched to rugby league.
He was spotted in his first season for Croydon by London Broncos Head of Youth Performance Phil Jones and soon after was rewarded with a place in the Harlequins RL U16's scholarship team.
Away from rugby, he has a keen focus on his A levels and studies English Literature and enjoys reading, listing Oscar Wilde's 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' as his favourite book.
Joe Paolella (Malta Origin):
The 18-year-old prop was introduced to rugby league only ten months ago after playing rugby union from a young age. Thrust into the middle against the touring Leeds Akkies, he led the Malta Origin team through this year’s Maltese domestic championship and was called up for his debut last June coming off the interchange bench.
Chris Parker (Maltese Exiles) (pictured right):
The Malta captain was referred to the MRL by former Sharks and Dragons NRL and former Malta international Luke Branighan. After a distinguished representative debut, Parker made his debut for Malta in 2009. From then, he quickly became a respected figure and after former captain Daniel Grima’s retirement in 2011 was appointed national team captain. A very active MRL figure, the prop-come-ball playing lock forward was behind the launch of the UK-based Maltese Exiles concept.
Paul Parkinson (Maltese Exiles) (pictured left):
Debuted in June against Denmark and slotted right in as a key player where he directed Malta around the park like an established half along with providing flair in attack and commitment in defence. Parkinson was scouted for the MRL by Malta captain Chris Parker and soon afterwards joined the Maltese Exiles.
Matthew Von Brockdorff (Sliema Stompers RL) :
Maltese born and bred, the Sliema Stomper is a dual Maltese rugby international.
Von Brockdorff made his debut for the MRL in 2010 against Norway and has recently bulked up considerably, making him an option to be utilised in the back row, as the 24-year-old loves getting involved in the contact that rugby league is known for.
Ed Willis (Sliema Stompers RL):
The Sliema Stompers RL utility made his Malta debut in June and grabbed a late try in the corner for the Maltese. Born and bred in England, Willis has made Malta his home and is a fierce competitor on the rugby pitch with a good knowledge of each form of rugby. He is handy with the ball and while he played on the wing last June has the ability to move into the halves or hooker role.
Jarrod Sammut (Bradford Bulls):
Words cannot describe the ability of this talented little player that can slot into a number of positions at this level of international rugby league. The former NRL star has made Super League his home for the past three seasons and the dual Maltese rugby international is arguably the most recognisable rugby league player in Malta after the Wests Tigers’ Benji Marshall.
Sammut commenced his professional rugby league career in Australia's NRL at the Penrith Panthers before making the move to the beleaguered Wrexham based Crusaders club in Super League. One of the shortest players in professional rugby, Sammut made one appearance for Malta Rugby Union in 2009.
Final Words
Chris Parker (Malta captain):
“We’re really looking forward to making the trip over to Denmark. We feel the last time we travelled as a squad, to Germany, we didn't do our selves any justice, but a lot of lessons have been learnt and if we are to progress as a rugby league playing nation, we have to travel well”
“I'm excited by the quality of player we have available at our disposal for the game and feel we have the ability to cause the Danes problems from all over the pitch, but they will come at us hard. They brought a physical game to Malta and I'm expecting the same again in Copenhagen but we won't step back from that physical battle. Game day can't come quick enough for the boys”
Anthony Micallef (Malta coach):
“The timing for the lead-up to this second leg has proven difficult for our Malta based squad and we’ve probably had a dogged preparation to be fair. But the boys have been regularly in training for their respective pre-seasons and we’ve got a few sessions in the last four weeks, be it of a basic level”
“At this level of rugby league, the home side is always advantaged in some ways, and we understand that, but we too have strengthened our squad. One, by keeping together most of the squad that played against Denmark in June. And also in that all of the players have come through the MRL system, either by way of our domestic championship, or via the Maltese Exiles concept in the UK. And finally, while it is disappointing that Dragan, Dylan and Joey are unavailable – as they were strong for us last June, we have brought in players of a strong level playing abroad”
“What I’m expecting; another strong battle. The Danes at home will be much stronger than the Danes on our own turf and in the middle of a hot Maltese summer. This match is on their conditions and they’ll be better for it. They have some handy players that can reak havoc for us all day if they’re on their game”
“At the same time, we have a very capable team, one that the Maltese population can be very proud of. I’m comfortable we can come away with the points and win the Dove Men+Care International Series trophy for 2012”

Sydney, the highlands of Papua New Guinea and Gentofte will share something in common this Saturday.
Top level rugby league will arrive, with the second leg of the Dove Men+Care International Series tie between Denmark and Malta at Gentfote Stadium. The first leg was played in Malta and saw the Maltese come from 12-4 down at half time to win the tie 24-12.
At the time, Rune T.Nordvang rued a series of second half errors that wiped out Denmark’s hopes of victory.“I was very impressed with the first half performance, it was strong. But a few too many mistakes in the second half. A very good game and good learning performance for us to take home for the next leg” commented Nordvang.
The Danish players are confident that such a slip will not happen again. Commenting on the progress in the international training camps, Assistant Coach, Martin Scott Petersen commented; “"The individual will and tenacity of the players is outstanding”.
Powerhouse Uraia Vucago is confirmed as available, together with flamboyant back Bjarne Vibe. Asked whether the cooler temperatures would benefit the Danes in the second match, Bjarne instead concentrated on commitment; “The intensity of our training sessions, plus the experience of tough games against the like of Norway can give us a stronger performance this time round”.
The game kicks-off at 2pm at Gentofte Stadium. Tickets are available on the gate for 50kr.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It will also be a big day for the children of NGG International School in Christianshavn, who will be competing in the curtain raiser to the big game. The game has been introduced to the school by Joshua Whitehead; "When rugby league was first introduced in PE lessons, only a handful of students had ever seen a rugby ball before. 18 months on and a hardcore of boys and girls from Grades 3 to 7 are hooked on 'the greatest game'.”
“The after school rugby has focused on tag rugby league. The more athletic, elusive youngsters have naturally been able to find space; those with good ball skills (particularly from handball) have enjoyed getting to grips with a giant egg; the tough cookies have been diving for the tags in defence and the thinkers have been discussing ways of unlocking defences.
The Viking blood means that the players are now desperate for full contact rugby, the next logical step in the school's rugby journey. With other schools in Zealand and in other areas of Denmark, the future is exciting."

Great to have you over for the weekend! I hope you had a good time and I look forward to seeing the results (though I am not be able to watch the interview).
I would also like to thank you for the huge effort you put in when we found out that the stadium authorities had decided to leave the posts in bits, in a nearby park. The whole day could have gone wrong - it was thanks to people like Brooza that the day was a success (despite the result).

Jarrod Sammut brought his flair to Copenhagen’s Gentofte Stadium and unleashed on a fighting Denmark outfit as Malta completed the double in taking the 2012 Dove Men+Care International Series.
The 25-year-old has a host of Super League clubs chasing his services for next season and he showed why, as the talented little general laid on four tries and missed only two goals in a 38 point haul for the Maltese.
Sammut got the scoreboard ticking over with two converted tries inside the opening 10 minutes and with captain Chris Parker crossing shortly after, the Maltese were up 18-nil after as many minutes.
The Danes replied momentarily, after a dropped Danish pass and a swift foot kept the ball alive to see Cameron Woods score the Dane’s first points of the afternoon as the sun came out on an otherwise drizzly weekend in Danish capital.
But the Maltese were well drilled and after a lackluster preparation, piled on the points in the second half, debutants Carl Grima and Jonathan Magrin both crossing.
Viiga Lima read the game well all day, stepping his man in similar fashion to the way he did in Malta, to pull one back for the home side.
The Danish handed debuts to Morten Damm and Robert King, but the Maltese were unrepentant, Sliema Stompers winger Ed Willis crossed from dummy half after an attacking raid down the left flank.
Barlogio and returning centre Paul Bartlett made it onto the score sheet too for the Maltese and Shaun Gilmour returned two tries in yet another strong display for the Maltese.
Among the talent, were seven domestic based players for the Maltese, two from Gozo RC and a trio of Stompers, along with Malta Origin’s Joe Paolella and Sam Keep pressing their claims for further call-ups next season.
Cardiff based Shaun Bartlett put the icing on the cake in the final minutes and Sammut added the extras for the 11th occasion to record Malta’s largest victory over European opposition.
Earlier, children from the local Skovbro Efterskole school played a game of tag rugby before joining an enthusiastic home crowd in the stands.
Malta coach Anthony Micallef could barely fault his team after the match.
“They were in fine form. The domestic players, it is evident to all, are stepping up, and eventually challenging the overseas based members of the squad for more places in the team” said Micallef.
“We unearthed a couple of new talents in Maltese rugby circles today. Jonny Magrin was solid, and only 17. In fact, we had a very youthful squad out there, that’s the future of the game for us together with the experienced senior playing group”
