Slater or Hayne

[oldmancraigy]

Hayne's as elusive a runner as I've ever seen, and a superb last line defender as well as we saw in the Origin. But a playmaker he isn't. If he were he'd have been put in the halves years ago.

So while Hayne is going to get you a few tries against flabbergasted defences that hold off him, the playmaking fullbacks will get your entire team moving.

Honestly I wouldn't swap him for Moylan, especially at the price he would command.

There are 2 options:

1. You don't even watch league. Too busy talking to your RLW magazine to see what is happening in the games.

2. You are Ricky Stuart

Either way, that is a massive load of uninformed dribble.

How exactly does that reflect on Hayne?

So him being the best player and capt (?) can have his team get flogged 40 odd nil and this has no reflection on him?

He showed a bit of form against my busted arse jokes of a team last week but surely your not going to use that as a gauge?

Haynes didn't play vs warriors the second time round this year

He didn't play against us (Warriors), mate - coach left him at home... not much he could do about it

Well if you read my original post you would have seen that that was my question.
I asked did he play in that game FFS.

When nobody said he didn't play I assumed he must have.

 

[carcharias]

Was Hayne part of the team that got flogged in consecutive weeks recently?

Here.

we also had 8 other first graders out, the coach pulled the right reign and rested him. It's the the first time he has been close to 100% fit this time of the year since 2010 when he was outstanding.

As for Frog comments I can only lol, you can have Moylan who is a damn good young footballer but I'll prefer the best player in the game thanks.

I wouldn't swap Hayne for any other fullback in the game as I'm sure storm fans wouldn't swap slater

 

[carcharias]

I wouldn't swap Hayne for any other fullback in the game as I'm sure storm fans wouldn't swap slater

Any team would be happy to have either
I just reckon so far slater has been more consistantly good over a longer period of time.
When Hayne is 30 we can judge.
When slater was Haynes age he was possibly the best player in the game.
Time will tell.

Id have both in my team
Put Hayne at 5/8 or centre.
He is more versatile.

You'll never get Cam Smith

assumed your question was rhetorical

Maybe we can offer him four contracts??????

I'll take Peats at a quarter of the cost, up until this year I would have agreed with you about Smith being the best player in the game. The last 6 or 7 years he was has been the most consistent, smartest, toughest and best player in the game. Doesn't make him any less of a grubby cheat though.

What did i just read?

Froggy i love Moylan but i'd swap him for Hayne in a heartbeat.

Undoubtedly slater has been more consistent but it'll be interesting to see how Hayne goes over the next 5 years. If he carries on this type of form no doubt he will be talked about as one of the best fullbacks along with slater to play the game

What irks me is how people are saying he's pulling a dud eels team this year. We have an inexperienced team so he's a big cog in the machine but our forwards mostly are doing a very good job to allow Hayne with the time and space to do what he does best.

Pauli, Paulo (junior), mannah, Edwards and Mau have all been playing very well even David Gower is playing above his potential. If we can keep these young forwards coming through it'll help Hayne achieve consistency

This.

Moylan is a promising young talent. But Hayne is a proven match winner and an outright superstar.

I think he is an excellent playmaker, at least in the fullback role. He has been put in the halves because of this but his athleticism is much better suited to fullback. He can deliver excellent cut-out balls and is great at skipping across the field drawing the man and putting his centre in space.

We're just not sure who to, based on eye contact.
