Minicello is not a fullback

[Tommy Smith]

I worry when a bomb goes up in orign but i love it when it goes up in club games. I just dont think he is that stable.

His record under the high ball is second to none.

True

But Hornby is better than Schifofske

Really? I dare say Schifs last two years have been far superior to Hornby's, our fullback is more important to us and does more for us than yours does in any case, and he doesn't turn up once every two weeks.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

yeah Schicofske is in great form. What about say the first 6 matches this year, Schicofske was sh*thouse and never even came into origin contention. Face it, Schicofske's better days are well and truely in the past. Hornby has him covered.

On the topic of Mini, this thread is a joke.

Lets see ever since Mini moved to fullback he has cemented his spot at the Roosters, NSW and Austrlia. Yeah, he is travelling badly. :roll:
It has been known for some players to be able to handle more than one position. He is a good winger but his talents are wasted there.

Lockyer is a better fullback but Mini is a definite 2nd.

zzzzzzz mate what sort of drugs are you smoking? Take a look at the stats, schifcofske, was I would say statistically in the top 2 for fullbacks this year.

Yeah, maybe. But only a bloke in the mental ward of a hospital would judge performance purely in terms of stats. When we factor in what we actually saw on the field, Schicofske comes in about 5th/6th in terms of FB's this year.

no he was in test contention grow up, Shif has proven himself over the years whilst Hornby was as lucky as all get out, Hodgson is a better fullback than Hornby.

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

Hodgson should have been nsw fullback but i am bias

 

[Raider_69]

When in form schif is the best fullback in the comp (now that lockyer is playing 5/8th)
His defence is the best atm and although last year his attack was shit, when in form no one is more dangerous from the back... bar bowen and slater who are on par (im bias) probably better if im honest

 

[fatshark]

Pech owned Tony this game....

I think Minichello just makes people uncomfortable with his bumbling style of play

This is so true.He is a bumbler.remids me of a pinball bouncing here and there.I like my FB's to be safer.Mini is an excellent player,just not safe enough with his hands to be a the BEST fullback.

Just my opinion of course.

Cheers.

Season Ave Errors:

Mini: 1.8
Hodgson: 1.8
Schif: 2.1
Patten: 1.8

So there you have it. It doesn't matter if he LOOKS like a bumbler. There's plenty of fantastic golfers with a sh!t golf swing but just as with the case with Mini, it's effective. The stats show he is as safe as any other FB and like i said, under the high ball he is the safest.

 

[simon says]

Well if he is the safest under the high ball,why am I shitting my pants every time he goes to take one.Or why every time he goes to pass it Im screamin"just run it Mini".

Stats arent everything,Hodgo and Schifa are way safer under high balls than Mini,and have a far betting linking up type of game IMHO.Both are better FB's not better players.

Cheers.

 

[Stranger]

Yeah hes great under the high ball... Just reminds me of the last 30sec of the cowboys roosters semi.

Hes not a fullback hes a winger.
ATM he is definately out of position.

For once, when it comes to ability under the high ball stats are everything. He is statistically the safest under the high ball. Why are you sh!tting yourself when you see him under the high ball? Maybe you're an idiot. Sure he doesnt look the calmest but he hardly ever drops them. As for Hodgson, he dropped about 2-3 alone vs the Roosters this year.

Stranger, whats it say for the other FB's when Mini is DallyM FB of the year and Aus/NSW FB yet he's "not a FB" :shock: They must be pretty
sh!t. Either that or you are also an idiot and are full of sh!t.

 

[simon says]

For once Id like to have a debate on this forum without being name called.Well done Thommy,Im an idiot.Great call.

Sorry that I dont think that Mini is a FB.I must be full of shit.

I must admit I do think Hodgo is SAFER at FB.Same goes for Shifa and Hornby.I also think they can PASS the ball,and POSITIOn a player into a gap.

Mini can barely pass,thats why he isa winger,give him the ball and let him run and he will go great guns,soon as he starts thinking you are in trouble.

Cheers.

You go ahead and think as much crap as you like because heres what i think. Mini is the DallyM FB of the year. Mini is the NSW/Aus FB selected by people who know sh!t. Oh wait, hang on...thats not what i think, its what i KNOW. Hodgo safer :roll: The little rag doll turd cant tackle for sh!t and drops a few under the high one too. And Hornby is one of the worst under the high ball.

 

[RABK]

Hodgson can tackle very well especially seeing he's a 78kg bloke often tackling 100 kg centres/2nd rowers. There is no fullback who puts his body on the line more than hodgson. He's got a huge amount of guts.

He has got alot of guts, just like Preston. But also just like Prestron, he still can't tackle for sh!t.

 

[RABK]

These are blokes who from a still position/ running backwards/sidewards have to stop wingers/centres travelling at 35km/h or a runaway forward with the momentum of a semi-trailer. Considering those circumstances i think 90% of them do a great job in the tackling department. Not since Gary "Jimmy" Jack has there been a fullback that could truly tackle well.

Luke Phillips could. Easily the best defensive FB since Jack.

 

[simon says]

Yeah,have to agree.Phillips was a gun,best since Jack.Hodgo goes pretty well too.He is a gun,and I wouldnt swap him for anyone.

Cheers.

How people can even mention Hornby in this thread is a joke. If Minichiello is not a fullback, Hornby isnt a first grader.....oh...hang on...
