What about Sterlo and Paul Taylor both play Fullback and Halfback, Both tackled around the legs, both had blond hair.eelavation said:sheesh!! it was hard enough comparing Ella to Kenny...

Tizzun said:Along similar lines given the space Hayne had today when he scored his try would INU have scored? I've got some doubt about that.
Galeforce said:Haynehindi ,
do not think you stated one logical point.
1) I was not aware that Jeremy smith played NZ tests when he was with the Eels. As i recall he was your second string half. As I understand that he is made his test debut today after playing with Souths all year.I also understand that Souths did not pay a lot to get him from Eels.
2) fui fui , well he left Souths in the piggins era and came to Eels and played most games in PL until this year . so do not understand your point , unless you want to delve into all the parra players that you have let go in the last five years.
3) as for Haynes , your feeling that he would not play well if he went to Souths. your opinion. Mine is he will play well with any team that has a decent pack of forward. Souths forwards are souths strength , so i think you are justing pissing in your pants.
Galeforce said:Caylo,
your prognosis misses key points as well. so let me help you.
Eels halves ain;t nothing in my view and i prefer Souths PL to your top. The problem with Souths backline has NOT been the halves . Unless you believe the halves must make all the breaks and throw perfect balls to players into space and kick perfect balls.
Souths problem has been there has not been speed and "line breakers" in the threequarters or from fullback. my view is if Souths got a Hayne type into fullback , and another centre who stand and break , then all souths needed were halves who could pass the ball out the line , without doing anything spectacular. The outside men would cause the trouble. By the way once you can do this , then suddenly there is less pressure on the halves , as opponent defence focus becomes spread and suddenly even mediocre halves start making more breaks. Sorry for the football lesson ,but you were asking for it.
As for Souths prior coaches not recognising talent........what a joke of a statement coming from someone following Parramatta. YOu guys have leaked so much talent it is not funny.
