Well I think BA is a good coach but he disagrees with me in a couple of team selection/recruitment areas so he obviously needs help and also has a problem with loyalty that he needs to fix or he will get the sack unless he recruits/selects the players I want in the team. Three losses proves I'm right and he's wrong. His 16 wins last year are meaningless in light of this year's results.

BA's got a real problem on his hands, then, because he's also got to select all the players I tell him to, and only use tactics that I agree with.

Lets not shit the bed after 3 games.

I was one of the most vocal on here before he was signed. I didn't think we needed him. But he's here now and I want to see him and the team do well.

There are a lot of reasons other than Hayne as to why we are 0-3.

Ffs he plays centre. NO centre looks good when tema has no ball or space. What is he meant to do?
Jennings looked top 3 centre in game last year and he has been rubbish also. Wby? No freaking space.
Know body looked good against Manly and he was injured halfway of Sharks game.
So he has had 1.5 to impress.

What did I say before season started? He needs 8 games at centre then we will see him perhaps shine. BA moved him after 2 games. If BA thought he was a centre and signed him to play there I am unsure why he moved him. It is only slowing down the process of him learning the position.

Where does BA want Bevan? Chose put and stick. This is an issue. Neither Hayne or Bevan are getting the chance to learn their new spots. Did BA give up on HAYNE at centre after 2 games? Poor coaching if did.

Me too. I had and continue to have low expectations.

Plus my bed is already soiled.

I think it's very possible he's a part of it, but there is no chance he is the sole reason.

If Hayne has played a roll in the attitude not being 100% it would be basically in the form of frustration that his wings are clipped at centre. He has made a commitment to these guys that "this is not his team, it is Corey and Mitchell's team to run" (that is not a direct quote but a mishmash of things that I think have been said). I think he is hell bent on not treading on the toes of those guys even though that would arguably be in the best interest of the team.
I haven't seen him throw a pass yet which is a crime because he has a more threatening passing games than almost anyone else in the sport.
If you look at the way things are in the NRL right now, is there a centre that is playing well? Defences are totally dominant and more so than ever on the try line. It takes 3 or 4 back to back penalties before an attack can score even on the try line.

If there is even the slightest bit of truth to hayne affecting our teams attitude then the rest of the team are mentally piss weak .... he was a big influence before cos he was the main man - now he is just the late blow in, no one should be heavily influenced by him

That's why he should play on the wing. They get plenty of opportunity to run the ball, without being required to do all the tiring work off-the-ball required of a fullback.
