All you Mini lovers...

[QUOTE=John Corey;286575]Mini is the safest fullback in the game.


Yep, you just know he is going to catch just about anything, I'm more concerned with Pearce, he is a good solid footballer, origin 1/2 back he ain't, he needs to get his kicking game right

Mate after tonight I have given up on the idiots on here.
.

Catchya ****!

[Juggler]

Still one of the best under the high ball

No arguing about that. But that's about it.

Still can't ball play.

Even worse - STILL one of the worst when the ball is bouncing. That last Warriors try should never have happened.

lol

You won't get rid of me that easy you **** but I will stop trying to talk sense into the idiots.

Greedy I'm happy to make the first donation.

Not forcing the ball dead was unforgivible & he would be kicking himself for that one, however I assume you're refering to not taking pearces bullet pass 10m out, come on FPN to SBW last week close to the line= soft hands. Caught every bomb scored a good try there are worse fullbacks goin around.

As diaboliocal as he can be do we have anyone better for the position, I have have been of the opinion that RTS should be moved to fullback as his postional play on the wing has been wanting but has anyone else noted a lack of urgency in RTS's general play.
With him being so young and inexperienced he may need more time in lower grades to help build his confidence and learn the trade so to speak.

Cant believe someone who can take any bomb thrown at him still cant catch general play balls. Shecks feet are amazing, would like to see him in all that room at fb.

That's what I can't get, he can take a bomb better than most but can't take a simple pass to the bread basket. Farking bizzaro.

IMO Mini had a hand in all the tries against us. Other than the obvious two, the dive over from dummy 1/2, I'm sure Mini was the defender who was beaten after Baloney.

I started the season thinking he'd be OK if we used him correctly and minimally, but what we saw tonight was just embarrassing for the bloke.

I hate bagging blokes especially a legend of our club but he simply struggles to compete at the top level weekly and what we saw tonight almost lost us a game.

Sure he tries but he just isn't good enough to help us get the result. Catching bombs is only one facet of the game, Minis ONLY facet.

We are gonna have to score some points each week to have a chance to counter Minis ever decreasing skills.

Ugly lose-lose situation.

Mate, we know that guy and the hat has been passed around. Let's just say I hope you don't have major plans beyond say end of next week.

Mini was fantastic tonight.

Mini had a mixed bag tonight very good under the high ball in slippery conditions but he struggles with the rolling ball these days but his finish for his try was all class.

When mini messed up the grubber he was getting absolutely no support from RTS ... he was a passenger in that play ..

You're lying.

You know how I know?

That dude is me!

I'm with Fitzy on this one. Anyone who thinks Mini is still a good first grade fullback nowadays is a dead set moron. Can you name any regular first grade fullback who has less all round skills?
I love how Mini used to play and is still one of my favourite players, but watching him almost butcher every backline movement is dead set killing me and I cannot get how he can catch the bombs (his complete skillset), but not catch a pass or bat or fall on a grubber.

To the morons who say missing that grubber was acceptable, he missed it because he was toooooooo sloooowwwwwwwww and has flippers for hands except for defusing bombs.
