He's better suited to wing than centre. And on the wing you can be as lazy as you like. Beside a carry or two on each exit set you just sit out wide waiting for the ball. You can rack up a dozen carries without even trying.
Any spare money should be used to entice Semi to return in May 2018 when the French Rugby season ends.
And he's less Fijian so even Bart would support that.
I've always argued wing was his best position... now it's bench if he's lucky.
I don't have a problem with Fijians. Just with dickheads. If Hayne is a quarter-Fijian dickhead, it's only the dickhead part I have a problem with.
Sounds like he went OK.Lol @ Hayne, fluffed his big chance to silence his critics and get the Titans fans on his side today.
And to think, some people are arguing that BA should sign this overvalued turd?

Flat Jarryd Hayne fails to fire

The 10,887 fans were waiting for Hayne to do something. Anything. After seeing off enry, this was the chance to justify his exorbitant price tag and show fans and his employers that he was emotionally investe
Wait... wait.... and there it was. With 16 minutes to go, Hayne took the ball, wound up for a long kick down the park and sprayed it off the side of the boot. It wobbled over the sideline on the full and he was greeted with one of the biggest cheers of the day.
That it seemed to be both sets of supporters giving him some stick should probably be of some concern for the Titans board and the new coach, who they hope will be in place by the pre-season start in November.
Hayne looked totally disengaged at stages. When the Dogs were running out of their 20 on early tackles, he would have already retreated 60m behind his defensive line. Fullbacks like Billy Slater tend to hang around and pester their defenders into action before reversing for the kick return.
He did have some decent enough moments, making a few good tackles that stopped some promising Bulldogs raids. But this was a match where he was supposed to be bursting with energy and ambition to hush the critics. It simply didn't happen.
Yep a definite agenda. But not unexpected given the way he poked the bear.
At the end of the day it's the same thing. No desire, no happiness in what you do = loss of ability.
I think the thing playing on his mind is that he'd probably f**k it up if he was playing for us, just like he f**ked it up in the final two games of 2014, and he f**ked it up for the Titans at the end of last season, like he f**ked it up for NSW this series, and he's f**ked it up for thr Titans all year long!
I reckon he'd be the same as when he left at the end of 2014 - still over rugby league, only doing it for the paycheck, and this time not having any more clandestine "dreams" to ignite his desire for recognition and accolades i.e. as shift work performance as he's shown with Titans.
On form, BA would play him in Wenty.
