Opinions differ, congratulations on having yours.

And #SuityNewsLtd, I don't think I ask Pou continually to address my (or your) point... though I ask him to (and hope he does) stfu sometimes though.

Did Kenny have a kicking game? Lol. No. He couldn't kick for shit.
Hayne kicked 40/20's. He could kick massive spiral bombs. He could kick and chase chips over the top. For others and himself.
I said before, Kenny was top 3 in my lifetime no doubt.
But Hayne has been the best Eel I have ever seen and despite his life f**k ups, my opinion will never change on that. Why should it? He did stuff time after time that I never thought possible.
The only other player that ever did that was Eric Grothe Snr - my 2nd ever most favourite player.
Kenny comes in at No 3.

There's been plenty of better players who achieved a lot more in the game then Hayne did however he's without doubt the most naturally gifted Rugby League player I've seen. To add what you have already highlighted...

-He could throw 30m cut out passes.

-Could get the ball from dummy half 5m out and just trample blokes to score through pure strength.

-Used to belt blokes in defence when he played in the outside backs. I remember he almost killed Darren Lockyer one day when he was playing for Fiji against Aus.

-Just about the best hands I've seen in Rugby League, through flick or catch passes, catching bombs and picking up grubbers off his boot laces. Ironically his NFL stint is mainly remembered for dropping that one punt.

Even when he came back in 2018 although the team went to shit (and there's an obvious argument that he had a negative effect) but individually Hayne himself was playing really good footy at the end of that year. It was actually getting to the old days of Plan A pass it to Hayne and hope he does something.

He's done some dumb and horrible things in his life. But full respect to him using his second chance to give back to Rugby League and his community.

As Lemon said, Hayne's smarts and defense was also up there.

He was my best all time player. For me it was

1. Hayne.
2. Semi, Fui, Jason Smith
3. Sterlo, Kenny, Price, Crow

Are you a little triggered by something there, Pou...?

Looks like Jarryd had a HIA at th4 44min mark, when they were up 22-4.

Cleared and returned at the 60min mark when it was 22-10, and then came off two minutes later at the 62min mark?

So I'm suspecting something might not have been right for Jarryd when he came back on, to only last such a short time?

Maybe if we don't get Galvin the Plane is the plan, or the plan is the Plane for 2026.
He made a couple of really good tackles yesterday but got hurt in both of them. He went off after the second one at about the 45-minute mark. I really doubt he is interested in getting serious about RL again. What he should do is get in shape anyway. Fat bastard.

Plane Can play the dyl walker role though i think he would probably hog it and over call moses
Nah. He never did that. He was accused by dopes of not getting involved enough. In the game yesterday he only occasionally brought the Ferrari out of the garage.
