That was some try he scored at Salford its a shame he got injured , the lad is full of potential so pleased he chose us over Saints, we are awash with wingers and centres lets hope one of them can turn his hand to fill the full back roll when needed

He did sign as a centre but needed a bit of muscle on for superleague.maybe he’s bulking up to challenge for the centre role aswel as cover on the wing.

I believe when Minnikin signed he was being tipped to be a future centre for England. Time is on his side, although some are writing him off already.

Bit harsh to write him off after last season. Thought he had a good season overall.

I wonder if his troublesome shoulder injury meant he had to be careful on the weights most of last season?

Give him time. Super League is full of players who were anonymous for their first couple of seasons until they learned the ropes.

Nah he’d need to play fullback or second row to play centre for England.
