Congratulations Mini

[trewhella]

Really surprised the last few games on the quality and quantity.

Well done.

Myself and many others have been openly critical of your game but from what I'm watching, dead set happy to eat humble pie.

Credit to the joint.

[chook 56]

Yeah, ditto that Trew.
I was also critical with Smith persisting with the Count for so long.
Still life in the old bugger, it seems.

Keep it up Mini.

Great game last week, vintage Mini.

Still touches the ball too much at first receiver.

Might look good because Anasta is cruising in second gear, however how is it going to be when Maloney plays ?

Still think it was a mistake re-signing him for next year.

[Guest]

The shoe queen will be pleased.

[Guest]

I agree.

I watched an interview with Mini this morning on NRL Deluxe and I love how he told his manager not to bother shopping him around to other NRL clubs because he's not interested in wearing any jersey other than a Roosters one.

[Guest]

Ditto. I'm sucking shit too. Deserves another year and could go out a winner if we get SBW and keep building like we have been.

Chook.

[melon....]

I hope he keeps proving me wrong, but I wish he'd replace those flippers he has for hands.

The last of a dying breed in sport unfortunately

Good and very much deserved thread

[Guest]

Yep great thread Trew

I too am loving the taste of this humble pie. I also loved Smith's tribute to him saying what a great credit to a great club he is because he never gives up and tries to play at his best every week (unlike O captain my captain/World's best hider). Even when Mini plays poorly, you'll still never see him give up. Legend.

I am interested in a outbreak disease called originitis, where any rooster player plays extremely well in the rounds before origin, gets picked, plays badly, and then comes back to the club playing like a sick person about to faint.

We have seen cases of the outbreaks with past legends like Anasta and Finch, when they were both chosen in 2006.

I just fear that our fullback and maybe halfback may be having similar symptoms.

Which is why Paul Gallen is the only legit first pick for NSW.

Possiby but the are no other quality fullbacks on the market.

Plus I think they are hoping the U20s fullback comes on. He looks the goods.

[Spirit of 66]

Well done, humble pie eaters.

I'm looking forward to a similarly gracious admission of error from The Pendulum following his assessment of Mini as "the worst fullback in the NRL".
