after scoring 16 tries during the 2002 nrl season, minichiello played on the wing for the roosters in their 2002 nrl grand final win over the new zealand warriors. he was also part of the successful roosters team that took out the 2003 world club challenge against 2002 super league champions, st. helens. with mini playing fullback, the roosters easily accounted for saints 38–0 at the reebok stadium in bolton, england in front of 19,807 fans. for the first three seasons of his career mini played on the wing for the roosters, but the retirement of luke phillips following the 2002 nrl grand final prompted then-roosters coach ricky stuart to move minichiello to . his move to fullback coincided with some of the roosters' best football for the early part of the new millennium. it also saw him become an almost automatic selection for both nsw and australia for the next few seasons. 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. 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. he was declared man of the match in the roosters 28–18 victory over the bulldogs. the roosters subsequently lost the 2003 nrl grand final to the penrith panthers, in which minichiello played at fullback. minichiello ran 4,571 metres with the ball in 2003, more than any other player in the competition. 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. mini played on the wing for the kangaroos in all three tests due to the presence of brisbane broncos fullback darren lockyer, who was also the captain of the kangaroos.
