you can crap on with endless analysis and dribble, essentially there are 3 things everybody wants in any sport, speed size and skill.

jarryd has all 3 in bunches
he has size. not sure where you saw his gridiron specific skill given he's never played the game and i'd say you're impressed with his speed because you either look at relative to who he's burning in nrl or you've never actually ran particularly fast.

time will tell if he makes it. if he does i'll be one of the first to say i called it wrong.

I'm getting flogged by the bloke who calculated the highest paid player's salary to three decimal places (was it $1.278 million or something?) despite him not knowing how the long serving player allowance works?!?

I'm so embarrassed.

I expected better from you. He even showed his calculations.

Could be a long second half??

I didn't, but I do now. It's also a stupid allowance system I have discovered.

His calculations made no sense at all, but we're all allowed to speculate.

The sense it made was that you just plucked rubbish numbers out of your a#$e with no evidence to back up your argument.

The point is that Hayne is above average even for an NFL player. All he lacks is experience.

No not above averge -Here are some the best RB's . Id say 4.53 hayne ran is maybe average-Certainly not above average.

Heres the some RB in NFL 40 mtr dash times
Lynch(4.45)-Mcoy(4.5)-petersen(4.4)Murray(4.4) Eddie lacy(4.44)Matthews(4.45) forte(4.46) Jammal charles(4.36)Miller (4.4)ivory(4.49) Mason(4.44) Sproles 4.47....

40m dash times mean f**k all for a running back.
For that position it's all about either being elusive and patient, finding gaps to run through...or strong enough to just barge got way through.
The only time you would ever hit top speed is when you make it through to the secondary. Hayne is fast enough for RB.

Great point. His calculations were clearly speculative, so instead we should believe the even more unbelievable speculation you put forward....

I better show the working out for my halftime score calculation :sarcasm:

The best ones are quick-When the gap opens they got to explode .....
All NFL players are dam fast bar a few guys upfront blocking.

All you mob death riding Hayne are like the mob saying the titanic was unsinkable until it sank. What's wrong with wishing him well and showing a little optimism. While Americans think they're all 10 feet tall and all that and a bag of chips, they still sit down to take a dump like the rest of us.

Just stating facts, the tele are making out his times are mind blowing, there not.
He however is quick enough and strong enough to make it, if good enough and i hope he is.

So would you say they're all above average too?
