Lol passing the ball in a standing position is much more different to passing the ball when you're running and you're running at a defence, under pressure. Mini lacks the balance when he's running to throw a well coordinated pass. I did see that footy show segment and he did well. But to say that passing from a stand still point is anywhere near as difficult as when you have moving targets and you're off balance is, quite frankly, wrong.
Having said that Mini deserves appraisal for his form this year. He has been nothing but a solid rock at the back

If you watched him compete in that competition he actually didn't pass the ball. He was lobbing it into or through the board. Only bloke I've seen do that. Unfortunately in an actual game of rugby league that skill would not be effective as many passes would either be intercepted or the defence would be standing with the defender waiting for the receiver to catch it before pummeling him. His obviously had no confidence in his passing that he instead tried this method (quite successfully) to perform well in this competition. However, to suggest that in some way this indicates a high level of passing skill is ludicrous. It actually proved that his passing is so poor he wasn't prepared to show it to a national television audience, so he instead found an alternate method of getting the ball to the board.
