Brian Mitchell on Jarryd Hayne: ?He switches the ball from 1 hand to the other and uses the other hand to stiff-arm .. That?s a lost art.?

For f**ks sake, really ? I'm keen to see a full game now. So far a heap of them come across as one dimensional shirt grabbers

shirt lifters

And, for those who'd like to read an American version of our very own forums, have a geek at this........

http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/179916-bonzer-mate-its-jarryd-hayne-thread/

184 pages last time I looked.

Try and ignore the f**kwit AFL fan boys trying to latch on to Jarryd's success..

Ok I need to ask this: the Yanks are harping on about him running lower. If fact in the 49ers forum that Suity posted, they were saying that they are worried for Hayne's well being as he could he seriously hurt if he does not learn to run lower.

Please explain ...

If a line backer .... Gets a opportunity to pull off a hit on him Jarryd would get smashed out of the park. Running lower or "pad level" gives you a chance to avoid serious injury and a chance to avoid the that defensive player. But it will take Jareyd ages to achieve this running style. IMO he can get away running upright as a punt or kick returner cause you pretty much can look up and see where everyone is. Seems to be working too.

NRL 360 said last night that both Taumalolo and Taupau want to give NFL a go.

I would think that they face far greater competition for spots than Hayne ?

Yeh, sort of. More competition, but probably more roster spots per team in the position they'd likely be aiming at. But it's hard to see what they'd offer that isn't already available from dozens of similarly skilled / built players with years of college/HS experience. They'd need to spend some time on practice squads / overseas league teams you'd think. NFL teams would be more likely to take a risk on players like who could be kick / punter returners initially (e.g. Jennings / RTS .....even Uate).

I think the most significant thing that is overlooked is that these players are on good money over here in this country for this sport. Do they realise that they can say they can give it a crack all they want but do they have the balls to potentially not get paid a cent for a few years?

No one is going to give them money just to go over there and try out.

I think most of the media morons overlook what Hayne gave up and how much he wanted it. the fact he isn't over there for the money and genuinely had a dream is what has made him go the way he has.

Chasing the millions in a different sport is probably not the motivation you should be aiming for.

Maybe Taupau and Taumalolo have that passion, I guess we'll see.
