MEDIA RELEASE
Pirtek Parramatta Eels fullback Jarryd Hayne will miss Sunday’s match against Manly following his foot injury suffered in Game 3 of the Harvey Norman State of Origin series.
MRI scans today revealed Hayne has torn a ligament in his right foot and will be sidelined for up to four weeks, with an earlier return dependent on the progress of his recovery.
Coach Stephen Kearney is yet to name a replacement to take Hayne’s place in the Eels side to play Manly in Round 18 this Sunday afternoon.
Hayne out for four weeks will demonstrate just how much he means to your Club, and should increase the urgency to get him onto an extended playing contract..
What if we win the next 4 games?
Huh?
The bloke (who I quoted and replied to) was saying that Burt gives us good defensive chatter. I just pointed out that it isn't true.
I used Hayne as the comparison for two reasons. (1) people say he can't "organise the defence" from FB like Burt (false) and (2) he's the only other bloke who has played 50+ games at fullback so we can make a fair comparison.
As far as Sio goes, I fail to see your whinge? Wasn't I just agreeing with what you said? (In that Sio was first choice FB for the club with Hayne out earlier in the season).
Don't join the paranoia brigade Strides!!!
On 2nd thoughts: this post was enough warrant for some SERIOUS drama around here.
Let's chase each other through every thread arguing about whose fullstop was in the wrong place??
What if we win the next 4 games?
Mullaney to get a chance at f/b, with Burt on the wing, Morgan back in the centres, Willie T back at Wenty - and let's see how we roll for the next month!
