Jarryd Hayne

[spiderdan]

A downgrade wont do anything. He has carry over points and therefore any charge will see him miss the game. speaking of carry over points did the NRL end up introducing a rule where you work off your points over the course of a season?

apprently those points have gone but even if hayne pleads guilty he cops a game (117 points). Slater on the other hand should be answering for the elbow as well as the knee into hayne when he took the voluntary tackle. The niggle started when hayne came in third man with a shoulder on slater and slater had a sook about it.

Hayne should get a week but kudos to him for not taking that sh*t from Nancy the kid.

Agreed, and Storm weren't playing bad either. Jarryd bled for the Eels last night as did all the players. Stuff SOO, what happened last night was the game that mattered to the boys. SOO should not even come into the picture and that is what we all saw last night. The Eels started a wave and we all caught it and it was an exhilarating ride to the very end. Wayne Bennett knew the Eels were more focused on last nights game than on his team last week. He knows the Eels squad is the team to beat this year as do the other coaches. The standard was set last night. Jarryd Hayne has come of age. That head butt knocked the king of fullbacks from his thrown. Jarryd has taken the crown. Jarryd was Wally Lewis like last night, he is a 6 in a 1 jumper. Go the mighty Eels.... Premiers 2007, 2009, 2010. :lol::lol:

True, Casper. The only thing is, the poor bugger deserves to play fullback for NSW after that performance.

Hayne did something last night that every fan,player and club official from everyother nrl club has wanted to do for a long time, Slater is a gutless coward and like all the other storm players from night wanted to do everything bar play a game of footy. Smith was also a sook and laughed everytime a decision went against him with the way he reacted.
I salute you Jarryd Hayne, thankyou on behalf of everyone for doing what you did last night and shutting up that germ and staring in a game that you and every other parra fan and player have been waiting for since last GF.

He`s definitely not a winger anymore!

Yes he is. When he plays for Australia he's a winger while Slater is the fullback.

Not any more.

I remember about 8 years ago, Lote Tuqiri was suspended for 1 week the week before Origin. Now they came up with this stupid ruling where the game before Origin (the game which he was required to miss anyway) would serve as his suspension, and he was free to play Origin. So it ended up he wasn't suspended at all.

But for State of Origin, a game is far more valuable than a club game, so they better use some common sense and let our best players put on the greatest spectacle they can.

Don't believe the hype.
Club football is where the real passion now lies.

Up until about 5 years ago there used to be genuine passion in SOO games, but now it all seems so contrived, with the exception of the last game last year.

Don't know about anyone else, but a Parra win or loss means far more to me than an origin win or loss. A series win for NSW would be equal to one really good win by Parra. But the win against the storm easily beats the feeling of winning the SOO series for me.

CLub football is where the true passion lies.

And Parra have passion in bucket loads principally via Hindmarsh, Cayless and Hayne. These are men of blood and guts. This is a lot more than can be said about the NSW team.

Hindmarsh, Poore and Mannah need to be in the blues team.

Me too.

To be honest, I started supporting Queensland somewhere back in the late 90s, due to a combination of them being the underdog and the Blues players all coming from Manly and other clubs I hate.

It's only in the last couple of years I've been going for the Blues because we've had a couple of players in the team, and NSW are now the underdogs.

But really I'm not passionate about Origin. The Eels are the only sporting team in the world I really give a f**k about, and I watch a lot of different sports.

 

[Gronk]

Sorry but Billy is still teaching Hayne a fullback lesson.

Hayne is brilliant at the Gidley second 5/8 type roll and has numerous try assists in his bag of tricks. But when it comes to running the ball back and hitting holes at pace, Slater is the king by far.

yeah - i've always suspected slater likes hitting holes from the back :sarcasm:

 

[Eelementary]

I don't.

You need players who make the opposition f**k up - this includes stirring them up to put them off their game.

When you force the opposition to make errors it leads to a snowball which includes bringing the crowd into the game. It looked pretty empty there last night but it sounded like there was fifteen thousand there.

I see what you're saying, and I agree in part. But why can't he do that without headbuttung, shaking goal posts as someone takes a shot at goal, taking a dive after being hit in a legitimate tackle to call time off, etc.?

He's a wonderful player and the cheap theatrical side of his play is a little unnecessary IMO.

Hayne hasn't taken a dive and shaken goal posts etc in ages. He has grown up alot!

Friday night to me just displayed his passion for the game we all love which resulted in the two best fullbacks coming face to face which doesnt happen often! It was all in the heat of the moment and a great display the greatest game on earth!

Yeah but what Slater is 28 now?
Hayne is 22?

Was SLater as good as Hayne at this age and directing his team around the park without te likes of Cameron Smith and Cronk?

IMO Hayne sh*ts all over Slater.

I have never seen SLater have so much control and impact on any one game or half a season! like Hayne has.

Agreed, would Slater be as dominant in a team playing by
the rules???? I'd have Hayne over that Merkin any day of the week.

So they're different types of attacking player - Slater's more the traditional type of support fullback while Hayne is an extra playmaking option like Campbell, Carney and Hunt when he was at the Broncos.

But fullback as a position only exists in defence - stand behind the line, cover kicks and busts, and return the ball. Slater's had several years experience at fullback while Hayne's only had 12 months there, and Hayne's getting better every week.

Jarryd Hayne also has two strengths that Slater doesn't - he's icy cool under pressure, and he's a great front-on defender. With a bit more experience (possibly only another half season) he'll close the experience gap enough that his natural talent will push Slater out of the fullback spot.

 

[Someone]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard did Hayne headbutt slater?

Id say a 2, maybe 3.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how hard should of Hayne headbutted slater?

10.

well that's it, if you're going to do it the very least you could do is open the prick up, it was a very half hearted attempt but will probably still cost him an origin jersey.

 

[strider]

I think we have to be a bit creative with teh defense - take a leaf out of manly's book

1) Hayne had a head cold and had blocked ears (medical condition :thumn)
2) The crowd was quite loud :crazy:
3) Billy said something and Jarryd didn't hear :blahb:
4) He put his head forward to hear what Billy was saying and accidently bumped heads *oops*

simple

:thumn

 

[Craig Johnston]

hayne will be the best fullback in the game alot longer than billy slater ever will

 

[eeelectroshooting?]

I dont think it should be called a headbutt. He just tapped him on the forehead, with his head. Seemingly antagonistic at worst.

The force he applied to Slater's head, would be no greater than that which Slater was holding onto Hayne's jersey jersey. Slater didnt have to grab Hayne's jersey, nor did Hayne have to clash foreheads.

This seems to be just a common scuffle in a heated game between two firece rivals. Nothing in it at all.

Would there not be numerous accounts with video evidence of some biff that judiciary charges haven't been layed?

The challenge in getting him off a striking charge would be to argue whether a clash of heads without intent to harm determines a headbutt or not.
