Sorry Bottle?! Yes, it was a typo! I meant to say 'being part of a team that introduced wrestling into the game' :lol:

I chose slater, but Minichello was something special in his prime. I was quite young when he was in his prime but I remember him being the human pinball, just constantly bouncing off tackles and making breaks.

I love Billy on the opposing side in the big games, always there for a big error or 3 !!

Just to add to his character, Billy showed his class a few years back by telling a group of young kids to "F off" because they said Go Manly to him :lol:

I can live with that, if only for the fact that Mini seems like a genuinely likeable guy while Slater's an 'orrible little merkin.

Slaters a Douche on the footy field. However my sister used to work at a pub and by all acounts Minichiello has Slater covered for the merkin award...

We will never get a definitive answer, it is an objective debate. I will say though that Slater’s prime has only lasted longer than Mini’s due to the injuries Mini had. I firmly believe that Slater would have been kept out of the Australia team well past 2008 had Mini never had those injuries.

Just going from onfield performance Slater is a clear winner

i reckon a better comparison would be Lockyer at fullback vs Slater

and yes Locky at fullback over Mini

Yep, to a guy that had battled severe depression for years, a condition that accounts for just about all suicides. Glad you found it comical.

Slater is a low life merkin, always has been, and he just keeps on outdoing himself every year.
