Definitely. I just feel if he was in a better team, like say the Dragons or Manly, he wouldn't push these things.
He either isn't looking for enough work, or he's looking for too much work and is blowing opportunities.
I think it's the Eels more than anything else. And that's not necessarily an attack on the Eels, but if Hayne was playing behind even a half decent side this thread wouldn't exist.
And I'm personally not too bothered about his headbutts, butt(lol) that's just me. I don't see the big deal with the head or fists personally. On every occasion I've felt he was within his right to react.
Everyone is entitled to their views, there's plenty of quality players who I don't like and probably under rate(Weyman, Dugan, Tomkins etc). There isn't much wrong with it, and again this probably doesn't apply to you --- But I feel there's been a coordinated hate-campaign of sorts against Hayne by some established pundits and commentators.
I know probably most people want him back at the top of his game in 09 form, but I'm really not sure he's to blame. The Eels are just a bit average. Put him behind the Storm pack and he'd tear the game up again, in my view
Again though I'm a little turvy so my opinions might change tomorrow morning
