Look jarryd is not our worst player but he is our highest paid and his performances are a longways from 2009.
For me he has always had a questionable approach, but his brilliance covers up a lack of application at times. Even in 2009 I often think his failure to get to the bomb and let inglis catch it untouched and score was the match losing moment. Do I blame hayne no because he created so much , but it was just a example of why he is not I the same ballpark as a thurston, smith, cronk, slater. He is not a competitor like those guys he is just as talented but attitude holds himback.
You could argue he is the games most talented player but the lack of eye of the tiger means he and the eels are not what they could be. Give hayne the drive of hindy or even mannah he would be unstoppable.
Not sure what to do i think it was hoped when inu and Mateo left guys with similar attitudes that it would help.
I am sure SK will be looking at attitude when he looks for new signings.
Mannah and hindy have it. Keating gets too much crap, his talent may be questioned but he at least applies himself. Matua has it.
The rest of the side has some or none.
A team can have a lack of talent or a lack of attitude but not both and attitude is the bigger issue. Problem I think some of younger players see hayne as the leader and it must rub off.
If I was SK I would building around mannah, keating, Blair sio Ryan sandow
Matua all good loko . And hoppa.
Burt hindy fui are nearing the end and will see out contracts. Roberts Paulo horo Atkins poore shack only resign on performance or short term if options are a year away.
Hayne well if he stays great if not then we move on. Always sig n attitude
