No one mentions the fact that he'll play anywhere for his state, and do his best for any Blues coach

Hayne gets attacked by the media, oh grab the violin please. Hayne is put on a pedestal by the media as far as I can tell.
The fact that it was a right or wrong decision by the ref doesn't change the fact he bombed a certain try, keep on his line and he scores easily.
Hayne has all the skills in the world the only thing that holds Jarryd back is the thing between his ears. No look cut out passes when the short ball is on or in conditions that don't suit show he has miles of improvement in him and he still doesn't run the ball enough.
This criticism of Hayne started for me in the 2009 Grand Final, that day he was controlling the playmaking when he should have been on the fringes causing trouble. And he has made that mistake ever since.
Everyone is allowed to make mistakes, Benji makes mistakes all the time you take the good with the bad but a lot that Jarryd makes are due to a dumb idea or trying to be too fancy like with no look passes etc.
A lot of Benji's trick plays like the ball he put on the chest of Lawrence are well set up and very much planned, if not by the team or the coach but by Benji, he knows where his support is sometimes it is merely his execution that lets him down. A lot of the trick shots Hayne puts on like his no look passes are born out of frustration, hope and wonder. Hayne is at his best testing the line himself he doesn't need to be all that creative, once he has beaten the first man all he has to do is look for support, his raw size and speed allow for that.None of this makes any sense.... Especially the last paragraph...Benji makes the same mistakes as Hayne but?

Gus Gould is anti Hayne, now I've heard everything. :crazy:
I didn't say they aren't practiced. When Benji made his break he sized up Brett Stewart and Chris Lawrence immediately and popped the perfect ball. That is him planning in an instant what he is doing, you don't need to be a shrink to pick those things up all you need to do is watch. I see Hayne on a 4th tackle play face the goalposts and throw a cut out ball that doesn't create any sort of advantage for the receiver of the pass such as an overlap or extra space, all he is really doing is lowering the success of the play by getting too fancy, if that is planned then its a bone headed plan, but I take the benefit of the doubt that he is either frustrated by the lack of talent around him or trying to over compensate for it but by doing that he takes away from his own game.So how do you know all this oh wise one? So your saying that Hayne doesn't practice it but it comes of more then it doesn't while Benji does practice it and he has the same success as Hayne..
Once again No sense...
LOL@ Hayne is carrying his team...
Pretty sure Parra have a better record this year without Hayne.
Hayne is a good player, I don't think anyone has doubted this at all - but it is a sad state of affairs when people object to any criticism thrown his way... Especially warranted criticisms.

Benji throws wayward balls as well, but the amount of times he has popped the right ball with a mind boggling pass in a crucial stage of a game at any level far outweighs Hayne. Benji cops his own criticism as well, his style of play can have consequences.
If Hayne can get lauded when he breaks through 3 forwards to score or set up a blazing try, then he is fair game when he makes a dud play that can cost his team in the long run such as the unnecessary dive last night. You can't have it both ways.
At least Hayne came out afterwards and said he regretted it.
Meanwhile the game's biggest show pony Marshall flat out refuses to change his game, even defending his dumb plays when they almost cost his team wins (ridiculous speculator pass on his own line against penrith)
