Mini wants to play on until he is 35+ ... god help us.

[Guest]

In order of priority, I would punt the following: Smith, Anasta, Justin Carney, Mini.

So0me of the cooments made in Miniciellos direction on here are a disgrace to a club legend. He is far more worthy of playing on at this club than those who bag him are of supporting this club. Some people on here should hang their hedads in shame

This clubs needs no enemies with supporters like some of ours

Agree AW

What irks me is the lack of respect, sure there's a use by for all sports people

Just the condascending tone from some members is not synonymous with the clubs proud tradition

He may not play at those lofty heights years back but he gives his best all the same till we find better...

It's nothing personal, it's just business. You either want success or you want to play favourites.

I learnt that the hard way. My favourite player of the 90s was Peter Jorgensen. I went out of my way to get Pete to sign my jersey in 96 but I knew he was only an average player. He was replaced by Matt Sing, who, being fair, was a much better winger - State of Origin and Australia Rep if I'm not mistaken.

If the Roosters choose to replace Mini with a better, and younger, fullback, then it's just business. Thanks for all your efforts Mini, enjoy the ESL if you choose to go there.

Good luck to him, I can't think of a player (at our club anyway) who'd be more deserving for everything he's gone through. He's realistic about it though and mentioned he's probably going to have to go overseas so not sure what's with all the unnecessary slack for a great club man is about. If he stays beyond this year then it's the coach/managements fault, he's just an individual giving it his all for the club he loves. I agree he's past it and shouldn't even be our fullback this year but I find the criticism to be a bit over the top.

I hope he moves to the wing this year, it's his best position and he's amazingly good at competing for aerial kicks.

I think one of the main reasons people are so critical of Mini is the perception that a successful team must have a superstar fullback. He did his job last year. He is still very reliable under the high ball and his positional play is strong. Yes he is lacking defensively at times as well as in speed and attack but I don't think he is a liability as some have suggested.

How many line breaks did he make last year? The Mack???

Good comment,

but if he does stay 2013 it's only because he had an awesome season this year otherwise it's au revoir mon ami bon chance!

[Spanner in the works]

He can play until he is 35+. Just not in such a crucial position as fullback. If he can't consistently produce the form required that a fullback in a top 6 side would produce, then it is off to the wing for him.

[Guest]

Would you describe his over-all performance within the top 6 fullbacks last season? He is steady and reliable but without any penetration. Sure, a loyal servant to the Roosters but when your time is up, your time is up and I feel his time isa comin!

Not even close. I'll give him the first 6-8 weeks of this season before I make my judgement.

You must have been happy with running 11th.. Mediocrity may be what you strive for in life..

Congratulations, you've already achieved it.

How does the sand taste?

How does the sh1t taste? You're obviously always eating it as your so full of it.

Well said mate.

[trewhella]

When talking of custodians with heart, I'm sorry but I always go straight to Luke Phillips. Not the greatest or most creative, but after the 2002 Grand Final and his fractured shoulder heroics, he's above Mini in my list of great Rooster fullbacks.

This times 10 for me

[Guest]

Mini knows his days are numbered and he still has something, he's and us are just not sure what it is just yet? I see us finishing the season with Pezz or wells @ 1, also I see Peni and Henry on the wings[carving up], with Moga and SKD as our permanent centers[hard to defend both sides for opps sides]. Bj will move into the backrow or be gone and Cordner will be lost to another club..

Farkin Jorgo, remember that try he scored v the Donks at a full house SFS in that Monday night game when he skipped through the despairing tackle of Alfred Langer to score in the South East corner i think. Ah yes, i knew id seen the Hayne plane before. I think Harrigan gave us a penalty in front for a dodgy tap by Gee at 10 all to win us the game from memory.

Fark your memory's good..

I was there that night..What a game..

Jorgo was on fire..Too bad he had the knees of a ninety year old..

The look on Gee's face was priceless..

They had a picture of it on the back page of the Tell-U-Crap the next day..
