Burt or Hayne

[Fee]

I noticed at the opening training session that Luke played fullback for part of the session and Jarryd played fullback the rest of the time, does anybody have any ideas on who they will play at fullback.

as previously mentioned apparently hayne at 5/8 for attacking side of things and in defense he will play fullback.

Hayne Fullback, Burt Wenty..........

That would be the best option imo, Hayne has alot of skills that could be used as a wide running playmaker (Hunt style). His passing game is just as good as T.Smith and his kicking game is very under-rated. He could take control of alot of the long kicks.

basically burt shouldnt be in the team.

hayne, grothe, smith, inu, reddy/tautai how can burt replace anyone there

 

[^b0ss^]

gezz i think thats abit harsh ....


burt is still a good player i wouldnt be ruling him out just yet.

season before injury last yr was his best for the club if he captures that form again he will be right.

Burt hopefully featherstone, he's a terrble player, 28 and yet still struggling.

The clubwould be better off without him costing us money.

but hey? he's a nic ebloke, he's crap

really? so 1 year in 10 he played good and he's a good player?

he's average, he has ;pace and thats it.

Ur harsh Ron. I think we should keep Burt incase the World 7's comes back soon. Dude carved that sh*t up

After his contract runs out, it's time for Burt to go ala Wags, Chad, et al.

His money could be used to top up a youngster such as Morts, Kelly, et al.

There is nothing that he can provide to the team that someone couldn't.

I wouldn't have Burt in my team at full strength but would still make a terrific back up and is definitely paid less than what he's worth, as for Golden Child 1? when you get paid more than 200K than Burt I expect him to play that much better and atleast contribute just as much on the scoreboard...he certainly didn't last year.

Hayne failed in my opinion and let himself and the club down but certainly wasn't alone, this year, I expect nothing short of a big season of him individually, infact by rights he should be taking over Hindy's mantle as player of the year, anything short of that is a failure.

Agree, Burt provides the club terrific value. He's cheap and is a competent wing or fullback with an 80% GK.

Hayne on the otherhand is not twice the player of Burt, has not on any day in 2008 contributed twice as much as Burt, yet he commands more than double his salary. :crazy:

Have to keep Burty. He may not be the biggest of stars but he is on very little money and even took a pay cut to stay here.

Basically Hayne shouldn't even be in the team, so Burt at fullback.

I probably wouldn't go that far but in terms of contribution and value for money, Hayne couldn't tie Burts shoelaces.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

I think it's funny that everyone wants Hayne - who said "Gimme, gimme or I leave" - as opposed to Burt - who takes paycuts to stay at the Club he loves.

With that kind of attitude our Club will lose its heart before we know it.

 

[FUIFUI_MOIMOI]

obviously he took a pay cut .... what other club would sign him besides one coached by brian smith/michael hagan?

umm!! well he's played fg under Jason Taylor as well and has had offers from Cronulla and Manly.

what line will you use when DA plays him?

 

[strider]

this thread was doomed from the start :lol:

Burt has been much more reliable at fullback than Hayne who has only had a hand full of decent games at fullback
