Freddy and Mini

[Fairfax]

Love the pre-match interview. Got to say that Freddy is the humblest bloke. Asked Mini how it felt to potentially becoming the most successful or important Rooster of the modern era. We all know what Freddy did for our club. I love 'em both!

I've floated this idea before but IF we are lucky enough to win this years GF, and that's a big IF I know, but Minis record will stand as 7 GFs in 15 seasons, 3 wins, 2 straight as captain, most games and tries for the club. That's not including his rep and other personal achievements like Golden Boot etc.

Surely this would make him one of, or maybe the, greatest Rooster ever???

I hope Newman is enjoying the ride.

U raise a good point - from an achievement point of view his record is better than Freddy's. great debate to have

My updated signature just says it all. With due respect to the other greats that I witnessed Freddy and Horrie. I was too young to remember Artie. Mini is in rare company he has got to be one of the top 4 post WW2 Roosters.

Frozen One.
I'd have to think long and hard to find any argument close to challenging your thinking. We are lucky to have seen such greats play for this club.

This is part of the reason why I'm enjoying watching SoH developing

Freddy and Mini are both Roosters greats, very different off the field. Salvo will always be my favourite though. Gee he played in a low side for years but had all the skills and had a real crack.

[Guest]

Mini at his peak was a joy to watch, bouncing off players at a hundred miles an hour, but I can't help thinking he's current purple patch is a more team based benefit. Whereas Freddie at this height of his powers was simply sublime. That second half in the 2000 prelim final will live with me forever.

Chook.

Agree Easts75 good call you have to admire those that continue to perform when they haven't got the depth of quality players around them. Salvo was one of the great club men of our club.
