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

Don't forget the Junee try.

Incredible. One for the hall of fame.

Junee..Junee..Junee..

Congratulations, you've already achieved it.

I doubt you would even get close to it..

[Cockadoodledoo]

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

I trust you will not quote me again. You are simply not worthy. First on to my ignore list. Turds like you were the death knell of the wall. I am simply not going to put up with bottom feeders like you over here.

[Funky Chicken]

Every time I $hit ma pants when the high ball heads towards our tryline I praise Mini when he catches it.

It's the bottom line for a full back, if it's a good kick return, a line break, a pass to a winger or centre...that's a bonus.

He earnt his pay last season among a team of losers...

This year I expect him to embarrass most of the doubters on this forum & keep the young tyro's honest.

You can all bash me if he has a bad game (rarely) & I will remind you all when he has a good one (often)

Dark one I agree with you 100% mini is still super safe under the high ball and a Rooster legend, I would piss off that useless log Anasta before getting rid of mini

It is a sad day when the ignore list is required but shitlock is now on it. To kill two birds with the one stone I have put his husband Jason on it as well.

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.

John, you are a very wise man. I would rather be pragmatic than emotional when it comes to these sorts of decisions.. I love the guy but there seems to be 2 camps here.. Those who may seem cold and heartless but want to see the team move forward and be more than just competitive and those who are happy to live off past glories and hope by some miracle they return.

Cool story bro tell it again. You are hilarious.

I say without shame, I love Cock.

I want it duly noted that I love Mini, mainly because he knows people who know where Donald Mackay is but because he wore the Tricolors with pride...minus the occasional tomato sauce mobile incident. But its time to move on.

I also want it duly noted that I got a semi watching that chip chase from Darren Junee. And lest we forget the pass from the original magic man, Andrew Walker. He was a FREAK and I loved him like a Bra.

Geez, I'd forgotten Jorgo was the original 'Hayne Plane'. Jorgo was also one of my faves and I was very pissed off when he went to the dark side of superleague and joined the Panthers. One of those players you couldn't help but like though, even when he was an opposition player. He had personality that boy.

Cool story bro tell it again. You are hilarious.

Instead of deep throating Cocka over his comments made to another poster. Would you care to share your thoughts on Minichiello playing on this year for our club and perhaps even further

[Guest]

If Minichiello plays with us till he is 35 it will take 20 years off my life.

[player 1]

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.

You are correct but it wasn't Harrigan - another ref I can picture but can't recall his name. He had to quit as he developed a heart condition (aortic stenosis) requiring surgery. I also recall he caused a stir as he rooted the daughter of some NRL big wig official (again can't recall who!) at some NRL function in a cupboard somewhere at the party.

Can somebody help me recall who that ref was as he deserves recognition both for the penalty in front to win us that game, and the cupboard gymnastics (with an as then undiagnosed heart condition, no less!)

[Spirit of 66]

Paul McBlane refereed that game. I couldn't remember the Jorgo try - only Junee's chip and chase effort.
