Minichiello retires

Inglis is the best fullback ever IMO, I know, he hasn't played there much, but all-round he's awesome.

Both GI and Hayne are centres, they also play at clubs that don't have a fullback.

He may have won every award in the game but the majority were for his games as a centre. He won 3 awards that can be attributed to him as a 5/8.

Which further backs up my comment that he is the best in the world in any position he plays. So far he has been adjudged the world's best 5/8 and the worlds best centre. Fullback next. He has already won the Dally M for best fullback in 2013.

He had 49 games at 5/8 over three seasons. That is hardly trying to turn him into a centre. He was the best player in the club and won them a grand final in the position.

Well said

Lol. He is easily the best player in the game. Fullback, centre or even 5/8 where he won RLIF 5/8 of the year, the Golden boot and the Clive Churchill medal. He can play better than anyone in the world in whatever position he wants. I wouldn't mind getting odds about him getting the Clive Churchill again this year at fullback. You are kidding yourself.

Seems everyone is kidding themselves or joking . . . you need to develop a sense of humour

Congratulations on a great career played with class

It's no surprise that when Mini was playing we went well and when he was unavailable we missed the finals and ended up wooden spooners

Screw who else is better or worse etc, it's Minis contribution to the team he played for that he should be judged on and in my opinion it's up there with the best to ever don the Tricolours

God bless you Mini. You are a class act and all Roosters fans will miss you

Exceptional player, unlucky with injuries but managed to have a great career anyway.
