Any news on Minikins injury, looked like he'd dislocated his shoulder for a minute there but then just got up n carried on hope it was just a stinger n nothing more serious.

Had his worst game in a cas shirt at Hull. Last night though was very good again. Think his shoukder was ok. Had it bent back and I thought shoukd have had a penalty for a takle off ball/obstruction.

Wouldnt say he was poor against Hull . He just hasnt got the size to stop the likes of Fonua and Talanoa. Hull were very good though.

Hey let's not bash Minikin as he is class also along with all our other guys. The attack attributes he has far outweighs his size to deal with much bigger guys he has to defend and face up to - When the ball goes out with the likes of Hull on their attack, it is up to some of our players sliding over to help and assist knowing that Minikin hasn't the size to deal with much bigger blokes - Leeds did that on Friday getting numbers over to deal with our fast playing flanks which has paid dividends all season and you could see it was proving hard to make a score in that game which we had been racking up big scores from ! See, it is do'able but the team need to make apply and sure we slide over assistance for our lighter team flank members in defence especially near our try line where we have been getting run over on a few occasions now - that's what I think Daryl means as one of the aspects when he says there is room for improvement on analysis and next Friday's game at home to is where it needs proofing.

Don't think anyone is bashing him on this thread. Your post again says what most of us think

Let's not forget, Greg is still a baby in Super League. His future is bright.
I remember watching Shenton in one of his first ever games, at Headingley, and he was a fish out of water. Wouldn't swap him now!

Made good metres with ball in hand and took Watkins out with a beautifully times tackle that set the tone for the battle between the two.

Only negative was his distribution when he made the half breaks but this will improve if he permanently moves to centre.

Minnie made 146 metres against Rhino's on Friday. Some mean feat is that considering the conditions.
