    Minichiello improved a lot. But when he first went to fullback he had hands like feet. Though credit where it is due, once he improved that he was quality. But he was never a natural fullback like a Lockyer/Patten/Peachey/Dugan IMO. Doesn't mean he wasn't class, but it was evident, to me anyway, that he was a winger converted.

    I was always suprised by how many Roosters-haters/Non-supporters were Minichiello fans.

    Yeah I saw him playing for Hull on the weekend, I didn't think he was that bad tbh.

    Before Minichiello became injury-prone, he was safe as a bank.

    Hopefully FPN improves his butter-fingers so he can start, pushing Myles to the back row.

    Phil Graham isn't confirmed as yet.

    But if he signs, he'd be a good acquisition as a centre IMO.

    Tom Symonds or Ben Jones will probably get a centre position.

    He was NSW during the dominant years.

    Hard to predict with a new coach coming in and not really knowing who we've signed yet but I guess that'll be the team. If we sign Graham he'll probably come in for SKD or Jones.

    I wonder how Riley Brown is feeling about the new coach.

    Think I said something similar to this on Rleague, but he's now the unluckiest bloke in league. Most deserving of a career as well.

    Could you please elaborate? Or is it just cos Smith booted him?

    I believe he was booted from the Knights when he first went there. Now that Smith is going to the Roosters, he might be booted again.

  16. Sultan Pepper HG Emm

    Well he is somewhat average.

    Smith booted him from the Knights just as it looked like he was breaking into a regular first grade spot. As for why he's most deserving, take a look at these two articles.

    Probably aren't many players who have worked harder in the face of adversity than he has.

    I have said this on numerous occasions that only Carney can screw up not becoming a Rooster next year. Smith being appointed coach became the massive hurdle though but apparently Smith is keen on the challenge to fix him up and if so, the ball is back in Carney's court.

    I agree to an extent but as the years progressed and as already mentioned here, he showed his class at fullback. With his injuries though, unfortunately he will

    As already said, he went to Hull. Played this week.

    I was laughing hard when he tried to catch the ball, he dropped it into the posts and the opposition picked it up for a try.

    Well, Smith better not be a ****tard and get rid of him because unless he is planning on getting another hooker, we are going to need him here.

    This may be old news to some, I heard from a bloody good source that Willie Mason was going to be totally blown out of the water with Cocaine and other amphetamine charges when some high-ups" heard about it, he told them that he was going to expose everyone at the club for the drugs they do if they made anything of it. He also said Freddy hits the toot pretty often.

    Yeah that has been around for 4 months or so.

    I heard it from so many different sources as well.
