can hayne b future 5/8

[jk13]

This kid is a born natural, does he have a passing & kicking game, etc to develop into 5/8? He reminds me of Hunt, also a future 5/8. You could potentially build a team around hayne at 5/8. btw, this long term not short term.

 

[Twizzle]

then we need a fullback

 

[yy_cheng]

Reddy should fill in quite nice though.

 

[Stagger eel]

Heyne can be our future anything, but at the moment let him enjoy his first year in first grade with too many expecatations,

In saying that I believe Fullback is his rightful spot and that's where he should play in the future.

 

[Gronk]

I say leave him be. Let him become one of the modern games great running fullbacks

 

[Hurriflatch]

I can see Hayne playing a Matt Bowen type role

named at fullback but allowed to roam during the game and basically playing as a 2nd 5/8 in attack.

 

[jk13]

Thats why i said long term, i wouldn't want to pressure the guy at this stage. after a yr under hagan his progression might point in that direction.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Leave him at the back.

 

[the_eel]

I'm just interested from all those that have seen him come up through the grades...........how good do u think Hayne will be?? I know its too early to call but 'at this stage' who thinks he will go on and play rep footy??

 

[The Colonel]

Fullback without a doubt is his best position. I have no qualms in saying the kid will represent. Will go close to ROTY honours but may lose out to Luke Douglas.

 

[the_eel]

What possie is he playing for NSW at the moment??

What possie is he playing for NSW at the moment??

:? You've lost me here. The kid has only played u17's at wing and fullback.

Didn't he play a game at centre too? Don't quote me on this tho...

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I think Jarryd Hayne is a fullback/wing. He will do the job well in either position. If we wanna keep John Williams who's also a good player, then I'd say Hayne should be fullback.

 

[sooperdooper]

he is a natural athlete...not just a natural footballer.
i would say he would have to stay where he is for now and let him keep on playing like he is....

 

[The Colonel]

Didn't he play a game at centre too? Don't quote me on this tho...

2004 - wing - scored four tries.
2006 - fullback - scored two tries and took on the Qld forward pack until help arrived. Sin-binned.

Not sure about centre.

[Hurriflatch]

Hayne was named in the centres (even wore the #4 jersey)

but played fullback on the night

 

[thedux]

He is simply the type of player that you build your side around and put him where the need is most pressing. ATM that is wing/fullback but who knows what will happen a couple of years down the track. I think a more pressing issue is to make sure that he doesn't go anywhere.

 

[Freak2]

Oh please give this kid a break. He is having a good 1st year in the NRL. FULLSTOP.

Leave him alone.

By the way I thought Delaney was super at fullback late last year when Reddy got injured. He is a must resign for me!! His year his year is improving with every match. Maybe looking for the extra coin to be offfered but I don't care he has game IMO.
