Biography
Roosters’ winger took his place in the club’s 14-6 loss to Brisbane in the 2000 grand final during his debut season before shifting to fullback.It was the Roosters third Grand Final loss in four games since 2000. Minichiello also won the Golden Boot Award for international player of the year in 2005, and is the brother of fellow Italian international, Mark Minichiello. He played an impressive first game (won 25–18 by Queensland), but unfortunately was ruled out of the second game and the third game too as his back injury was troubling him.
"The Late Mail". Italy would finish their campaign in the Group Stage after they beat Wales, drew with Scotland and lost to Tonga.
Unfortunately, during a round 4 clash with the Canterbury Bulldogs, pain in his back returned. An Australian and Italianinternational as well as a New SouthWalesState of Originrepresentativewinger in the early part of his careerbeforemoving to Fullback in 2003, Minichiello has played his entirecareer with the Roosters, winning the 2002 NRLGrand Final, and then captaining them in their 2013 NRLGrandFinal win.
NOTICE!! It also saw him become an almost automatic selection for both NSW and Australia for the next few seasons. When Australian captain Darren Lockyer moved to pivot in 2004, Minichiello moved to fullback and played all six Tests that year (3 v NZ and 3 v Great Britain) as Test team ‘custodian’. In 2009, Anthony played 2 games before injuring his ankle against the Canberra Raiders.
With the help of the recently New Zealand former Warriors fullback and newly appointed Roosters Premier League coach Ivan Cleary, Mini would become a vital part of the Roosters attack.[10] His great performance in his new position soon paid off with selection for City in the 2003 City vs Country Origin match and for New South Wales in the 2003 State of Origin series, and went on to play in his 100th NRL game for the Roosters in the first Preliminary Final of the 2003 NRL Finals Series.[11] He was declared Man of the Match in the Roosters 28–18 victory over the Bulldogs.[12] The Roosters subsequently lost the 2003 NRL Grand Final to the Penrith Panthers, in which Minichiello played at fullback.[13] Minichiello ran 4,571 metres with the ball in 2003, more than any other player in the competition.[14] After that he was selected to go on the successful 2003 Kangaroo tour in which Australia defeated their oldest rivals Great Britain 3–0 to retain The Ashes.
