Mini's Broken Finger

[Guest]

New broken finger policy. Play poorly or make a critical mistake = broken finger.

Mini was quite good yesterday. Saved a few tries was solid at the back. But he does need to stop playmaking.

Mini was awesome on the weekend. When he put players under, it looked dangerous.
He saved plenty of tries yesterday too, no way could he stop Boyd and Morris and Cooper. Nobody in the comp would have.
I still think Mini is one of the games premier fullbacks.

Why don't you try to slam your head against a brick wall. You'd probably make more sense to that than some of the knuckle heads around here that want to have Mini retired straight away, but I admire your moxie.

The Jets back 5 look better than the Easts back 5......lift your game Brian.

Maybe because they're playing in a vastly inferior competition....

I've seen highlights of Jets matches and Graham looked dangerous in em. Even scored an individual try from 20-30 out.

please god let mini score his two tries?

He's equal now Steve. One more and he's the greatest try scorer.

Kind of like Luke Burt passing Brett Kenny's try record last week.

Or to complete the analogy, Matt Hayden scoring 380 against a depleted Zimbabwe to pass the Don's 334.

Now you really are stretching things. To compare Mini's breaking of Bill Mullins try scoring record to that of Matt Hayden's innings is just totally ridiculous. Regardless of what you think of modern day Mini, some of the previous 100 odd tries he scored were absolutely brilliant efforts. Mullins never played for Australia and at no stage was he ever given an award as the best player in the world. He wasn't even regarded as the best player in his position in Australia! As for the quality of the opposition, they were easily the equal of what Mullins encountered.

Really, that comment is either extreme petulance because you don't want Mini in the team, or you're related to Bill Mullins.

Minichello played really well on Monday. He isn't a ball player. I know many fullbacks also ball play, but Mini is best off playing like he used to. Support player. He needs to run off the forwards looking for an offload, and provide the halves with support play. We are really lacking that right now

Well said!

Mini is a star, look at his record.

He still plays well.

In response, I'll say the following.

Kevin Hastings.

Rothman's medalist.

Dally M Halfback of the year.

No golden boot or 1980's equivalent.

If he was 22 and at the same level of physical fitness, would you have him over Pearce?

Mini is still travelling OK and to be honest if I was naming the side he'd still be there somewhere (prob on the wing)... IF he is out though I would probably give Pritchard a shot.. He's the only one out of the Jets back 3 (Pritchard/Kheirallah/Naughton) that has speed, size, footwork and the reliability needed at the back..
