Hayne>Inglis>Slater

Though in terms of what those players have achieved: Slater>Inglis>Hayne

A shame that history won't show Hayne as the true GOAT.

Hayne could yet bring a premiership to the Eels. If he does that he leap frogs Inglis and Slater in terms of greatness.

Here is a list of players I would take over Hayne at fullback. In no particular order, just ahead of Hayne.
Billy Slater
Cameron Munster
Darius Boyd
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
James Tedesco
Tom Trbojevic
Lachlan Coote
Kalyn Ponga
Josh Dugan
David Mead
Matt Moylan
Valentine Holmes
Will Hopoate
Dylan Edwards
Matt Dufty
Latrell Mitchell
Greg Inglis
Bevan French
Clint Gutherson

Not even exaggerating.
The only fullbacks I would have him over would be Jack Wighton and Tui Lolohea. Even they could go either way

Hayne lost his fullback spot to Tyrone Roberts. Let that sink in to everyone who claims Hayne is great.
hahaha

No offence to tyrone, always been handy without quite being a superstar and did pretty well being chucked at the back for what i think was his first time.

But in the overall picture this is like cooper cronk losing his spot to mcrone

This.

If that wasn't enough to kick him in the nuts and really hurt his pride then it's over for him.

Seriously, Tyrone at fullback. FFS I've heard of hiding your defensive liabilities but Henry was down right screaming out that he had completely lost control of Hayne with that move.

It's a pity Tyrone doesn't photograph better than Hayne . . . all the little bloke had to do was sell more newspapers

And Slater hasn’t revolutionised the role of the current fullback? Before Slater the fullback was basically just a support player, now it’s one of the most influential positions on the field.

Also I’ve never seen other teams intentionally kick the ball dead from 30-40 metres out just to avoid the fullback returning it, like teams did for Slater
Ummmmm no they would of been Darren Lockyer.

Billy Slater is a poor mans Mick Potter or Rod Maybon.

Jarryd Hayne gets success playing with trash,something that Billy Slater could never do

Hayne single handedly wins NSW the Origin series in 2014 against the most successful Qld team ever(Billy could never do this if roles were reversed)

Hayne holds record for most World Cup tries despite having to play for a minnow team in Fiji(Billy Slater would have zero tries if he played for Fiji)

Hayne single handedly gets the worst NRL team in history to the 2009 GF(Eels would have got the wooden spoon if Billy Slater was there fullback)

Billy Slater would have had zero success if he had to play for the teams Hayne played for,and not to mention he could never make the NFL

Bow to the GOAT
Testify!!!

Wants to swallow Ploddy’s Slaters man juice almost as much and is as jealous of our lord and Saviour Jarryd Hayne.

What did the real Hiney say . . . 'Put a camera on Jarryd and you'll see a lot of walking"

Jealous of Hayne? Seriously? The guy loses everywhere he goes. How many wooden spoons has he got? He’s won 1 Origin series out of what like 8-9, and that 1 only happened because Cronk broke his arm. Took a team that made the finals when he joined to 2nd last after just one year. For all the hype about his NFL gig, he really sucked over there. Fumbled so much that he got dropped to the practice squad, then quit cause he realised he was in over his head. Couldn’t crack it in the Fiji 7s team. What exactly is there to be jealous of? Comparing Hayne to Slater is a joke, Hayne can only dream of being at the same level as Slater

Hayne lost his fullback spot to Tyrone Roberts. Let that sink in to everyone who claims Hayne is great.

Theoretically he also lost his state of origin spot to Gidley in 2010 when Hayne was universally considered the best fullback ever in the galaxy.
This was far more to do with his obscene versatility such that the truth is it is not clear where his best position is (he is better than everyone at 6 different positions in the backline). He dominates all over the park with running, passing, kicking, tackling, creativity. He is a play maker.
Billy is a fullback in a very specific attacking scheme which includes needing to surround him with superstars and wrestling behemoths. He does not have the skill set to play anywhere else. He is so useless at any other position that you cannot even fit him into a squad if he is not the starting fullback.
