rumours wigan boss coming out to Australia to sign Mini

[Tommy Smith]

Yeh it's not like the game has changed over the last decade or anything...

I find your constant attempts to belittle others and position yourself as smarter than everyone else highly amusing.

We are currently second in attack. This is inarguable proof that Trent Robinson and Jason Taylor have us on the right track as an attacking unit. And guess what? It's all been with Minichiello at the back.

I have no doubt that the likes of Maloney, Pearce, Friend, SBW, RTS, Jennings and Cordner/Aubo on the edges provides us with enough artillery in attack to win the big games.

And to win a Premiership you also need to be a brilliant defensive unit. In fact it's more important than attack. And Mini continues to be one of the best defensive fullbacks in the competition. He has an abundance of experience, directs those in front of him well, has great positional sense, takes a bomb as well as anyone and as we saw the other night can also still pick up a grubber off of his toes as well as anyone.

2nd on the ladder, 2nd in attack and 2nd in defence (by a solitary point). So i'd say we're doing alright and have reason enough to trust the judgement of Robinson.

We didn't need to much.

We had Brad Fittler.

And this year we have SBW. Both are probably two of the top 20 attacking talents the game has ever seen. No doubt Freddy had more influence in attack being a 5/8 who could do anything at an A+ standard; but our 2013 team has a greater spread of attacking talent to make up for the lack of Freddy.

I don't want to keep giving this thread life but.

dw, it goe's with the flow.

He's copped a lotta stick around here, but that ain't always a bad thing.

But someones gotta be devils advocate.

I'd be very unhappy if our fullback makes an error next game, but I won't condemn him for it.

He loves the Roosters.
