is Robbo playing russian roulette with a busted Mini

[The Axe]

Last time I checked out was a team sport. Sometimes teams carry and support their best during challenging periods. perhaps we need to get more players back for high kicks. perhaps someone should have yelled out that it wasn't a 40 20

[Darkone]

A few? Hes been the direct cause of 4 tries let in in the last two weeks.

He can let another pair in this weekend as long as we win

Mini stuffed up that bomb which led to a try but still covered the rest that kept coming. I recall Tafua the previous week against souffs where he kept dropping bomb after bomb cause he doesn't have the maturity to stay calm, regroup and keep going. Replacing Mini with anyone else at this point is dicing with danger. Unless he can't get out top play, lets not think that changing Mini will help. He made 2 errors, one forced and 1 unforced. He still our best option because I still don't think RTS is ready to be put under pressure like souffs will try.

Mini has made 16 errors in the last 6 games. Greg Inglis has made 13 errors all season.

There is a right to question whether he is a liability at this stage but his experience showed in the last 20 minutes last week. Thurston hammered some massive bombs against him and he was resilient time after time. He may have made a few crucial errors that led to tries but his experience showed and we will have to back him until the end.

O' Captain my Captain!

Mini has made 10 errors in the 6 games from round 23 through to last week. Not sure where you got 16 from.

Still a fair few, sure, but lets get the facts straight.

I'm pinning my hopes on Mini coming good this week. He was pretty dirty on himself at the end of the game, so I'll back him to score a double this week.....

Does anyone remember what happended v Cronulla when Mini left the field?
He has made a few mistakes in the last 2 games. I think it's unlikely he will have a third game in a row with mistakes.

Mini will bounce back ... he had a great game vs Vermin last time. Mini isn't the only one switching off during a big lead .. plus his organisation at the back is vital to our premiership tilt .. ppl are quick to forget how good he was a few weeks back .. remember that tackle on GI

[ism22]

He has actually been responsible for letting in 4 tries in the last 2 weeks

He's won a premiership and 2 minor premierships in 2 years. Given they finished outside of the 8 I'm guessing Hayne let through quite a few tries. Time to give Radaradra a go at FB? GI let in a few tries in rd 26 losing Souffs the minor premiership... bring back Merrit!!!!

Some real stupidity displayed in this thread. No surprises really. Great idea guys. Let's drop Mini with 2 games to go. He is only our
Fullback and captain. Plenty of talented reserve graders ready to step up. Fark me. We have rolled he dice all year with Mini and so far we are looking good. win, lose or draw Mini is going to be there. instead of death ridng him how about some farking support and some respect. Rant over.

Check my post history mate...

No individual is bigger than the team and currently Mini is letting the team down.

And you know this how? Did you go and ask all the players this personally? Did they confide in you and tell you this themselves?

Amazing isn't it. It's hard to believe they're actually serious.

perhaps rts could spend some more time backing mini up?

I see RTS missing a lot. Didn't get involved much last game until the 2nd half. He's not breaking tackles with his footwork like last year. If anything, I feel he's attacking work rate has gone down.

The last few weeks we have been treated to Mini 2011-2012.

He has been truly hopeless.

Last year he got his act together but he was still way below where a first grade fullback should be. We won the comp in spite of him not because of him.

The problem now is that it is way to late to change something so critical so we are stuck with it. All we can do now is pray.

BTW, is there any chance he will actually catch one of those bombs he chases before he retires. I think I have seen him chase 100 and I can only remember one catch - plenty of knock ons though.

I remember that we had two props in the second row and two second rowers in the centres.

And Nene at the back, he was truly woeful.
