The ping data did not come from Rolls Royce, it came from the SATCOM provider. Rolls Royce did not receive data after the aircraft reached cruise altitude, despite early false reports that they did.
The early maneuvering was seen on military radar and is confirmed (Malaysia flew another 777 along the same route and monitored it on radar and the signature matched). The positional arc that has been frequently shown is from the final SATCOM ping the aircraft responded to, roughly 7 hours after takeoff.

It casts much doubt on Goodfellow's ability to analyse this case if he didn't know basic facts about it, such as this. He also referred to the supposed sighting in the Maldives, which appears to be wrong, as it was nowhere near any of the final positions indicated by the SATCOM pings, and occurred about an hour after the plane should have run out of fuel.
