Think Minikins defence is the problem, seems a bit small and gets bounced off too easily.

But ONLY because he's young and has lots to learn
He does have great balance and body swerve alongside plenty of other assets but if anyone is our weak link, it is him. IMHO...for NOW
Minikin has made 16 errors all season.
Eden has made 32 errors, despite making fewer appearances.
The idea he is a weak link isn't backed up with the statistics.
Because errors are the only thing a players ability is judged on
Jake Webster made three errors and gave away a penalty against Wakey - He must have a very poor game?!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was being sarcastic Aid - of course errors aren't the only thing that are representative of a players' current ability.


SO WAS I! :D

I think Minikin is fatigued to be honest. It's been a massive step up for the lad & he's looked jaded for a few weeks, but credit to him he's dug in & kept going. We now have the opportunity to give him a break & see how he comes back.

Did you not see his defence against wakey? He stopped multiple tries down that edge which Eden would never have stopped. I agree that he aint the player he could be but his defence is definitely not the issue

I thought he put a lot of work in taking the ball forward too. Not a bad all round effort after a shaky start under the high ball

I think we universally agree that genuine criticism of minikin isn't warranted.

I personally think he could play rep footy in 3 or so years.

For now, he's a work in progress.

If anyone remembers Paul Wellens' first few seasons you'd know a player probably has to make mistak s to fulfill their fullest potential

Minikin is a young lad and has really stepped up this year. He does have areas of his game to work on as does the majority of players his age. I'm sure the club ate working on these areas with the lad. Maybe give him a couple of games off to rest up and concentrate these and get him back in. Jy is a great replacement and has the chance to make the semi final team.

i am a fan of Minikin put him up for transfer there would be a number of clubs wanting to sign him, wasn't it St Helens that wanted him before he came to us??

Jy is the better player at moment. Play your better players. Simple. Minikin has to earn his spot back.
