Great post.Anyone that says Hayne wasn't awesome in the game against the warriors and pretty much every game for the last 3 months is kidding themselves. He makes more metres than any other player in the team, has scored the most tries, has the most try assists, most runs, most tackle busts, is 3rd for most kicks and yes, has made the most errors. Of course, when you are as involved as he is you will make more errors, just as Andrew Johns did and Jonathon Thurston does. However, he has just 3 more than Luke Burt, who has made less than half the runs Hayne has.
As soon as there is some hype about a player, theres always someone that wants to say they know better, hes overrated, blah, blah blah.
I cant remember the last time I saw a player have this much positive influence on games week in, week out.
Maybe his game wasnt a 10 against the Warriors, but if someone else had that game, everyone would be blown away. Its just that we expect it from Hayne now. Im not having a go at Burt either, hes in career best form in my opinion.
The hype thing works both ways. Players that arent hyped up also get undue praise just because they were solid, doing their job and didnt stuff up. And players that are hyped up are scrutinised more. Just wait until Hayne has a shocker. He will at some stage, but hopefully not before the end of the year.
I think that was around the 35min mark. Between the 20min and 35 min mark he was not involved at all, I was keeping an eye on him as I felt he picked up a knock and was injured. I believe he picked up his involvement straight after half time though.I think that's a bit harsh. I remember him being involved in a break after the 20 minute mark where we nearly scored after a kick ahead, but the ball was kicked again over the dead ball line. Just because our scoring slowed down after the first 3 tries doesn't mean he wasn't getting involved (although I concede he wasn't AS involved). We had a massive lead... he didn't really need to be going nuts.
yeah your right.Our own Parramatta greats rate Hayne one of the best players in the world. Collectively they have played over 1000 first grade games. But hey what would they know ? They must have been sucked in by the media hype aswell.
How did Andrew Johns not get more than that?????? He won the game many times for them by himself!
That's exactly right, boa. Guys like Lowrie, Burt, Cayless, Fui, Robbo and especially Joel have been just as influential in our games as HaHa yet there are few - if any - write ups about them.
without Fui and the rest of the forwards out playing their opposition does Hayne have the room to move, I think not.I disagree with that. They have played their role but Hayne is on another level. If Hayne doesn't play do those guys get us home ? I don't think so.
Acknowledge the others for what they do but Hayne is why we're in playoff contention. No doubt about it.
also we are lucky Hayne made that 1 tackle last game, we wouldn't have won without it.I disagree with that. They have played their role but Hayne is on another level. If Hayne doesn't play do those guys get us home ? I don't think so.

With one of the tries last week, Fui put hayne into the gap and Hayne ran and passed it, who got all the praise for the try?

Stu Galbraith, Michael Erickson & Joe freakin Bartolo.
the one and only greatest FULLBACK the world has ever seen.
