but there might be happy ending to this one

Simply the best and most naturally gifted player I've had the pleasure to watch. Despite talk of his lack of fitness it never showed on the pitch. He used his instinct to be where he needed to be whether that was defending in the corner or popping up out of nowhere to take a pass. As others have said any sort of disciplined training regime would probably have stifled his talent rather than improved it. Great character , great footballer and great entertainer.

Signed for Wire along with Wheeler is the latest "rumour."

Happy birthday for yesterday, 35 years old.

Bollox!

Mick's in his 60s

Fui fui moi moi is one of 21 retiring players who will be paraded before the aussie grand final tomorrow.So it looks like this thread has been put to bed unless things change dramatically.

Knowing the NRL they are probably counting players moving over here as retiring. If Mark Minichiello is one of them I wouldn't read to much into it.

Your spot on mark minichello was one of them,obviously retiring from the aussie game.
