lachlan coote beat josh dugan out in the fullback position in every junior side. lachlans body just does not cope with the nrl as well as dugans is but i believe that coote has exceptional talents. he was a 5/8 as well and is a ball playing fullback with great positional play and great support play. so i would take him over both.

With the whole Hayne failing at 5/8th thing, I think he would go a lot better now in 5/8th than what he did. Not a Hayne defender, but just because it didn't work before, doesn't mean it wouldn't work now.
Since the end season streak of 09 you can't deny that he has a lot more confidence than what he did before mid-late 09 and has shown ability which he didn't really show before.

Although it would be interesting too see how he would perform in a game having to make an extra 12 or so tackles a game.
It might make him consistent?

The Pick for fullback will definitely be a controversial one next year, especially if Jarryd doesn't start playing better again (at Fullback)

Whilst Coote might have talent, I don't think you can use his performances in junior rep teams as justification that he's better. Many of the best players don't peak untill they become an adult, and many superstars of the junior ranks turn out to be absolutely nothing.

RP, if you're going to sit there and make an assumption at least make sure it's an intelligent one. Can i help the fact that i didn't know these forums existed until then?

and FFS why does it bother you so much that i think Hayne is better. I do not care about Dugan, never have and never will and like ive said one million times on these forums ( which you still seem to fail to comprehend):

I THINK HAYNE IS WAY MORE TALENTED THAN DUGAN.

THEREFORE, HAYNE > DUGAN, IN MY OPINION

Before you respond, i don't care what you and everyone else thinks so save yourself the trouble of posting me 'you're delusional' crap.

Ah FFS keep posting Hayne Train pictures, not working

It's clear you have a huge amount of hate for Dugan, which obviously clouds your judgment in regards to his footballing ability. Maybe you will be able sit back and enjoy what many people consider one of the most talented players in the league

But that's the thing RP, i don't hate Dugan. I think he is very talented and doing really well for someone so young. You guys are just throwing him down my throat everytime Hayne's name is mentioned which is just plain irritating . Just like you hate hearing about Hayne all the time, i hate hearing you guys mention Dugan's name whenever someone mentions Hayne.

Like i've said before, we're lucky enough to have talented players like Hayne, Coote and Dugan and we should appreciate the entertainment they provide us with as opposed to having Hayne vs Dugan discussions in every possible thread where Hayne is talked about.

It's funny how some Raiders fans assume anyone who says Hayne is better is biased, and some Parra fans do the exact same thing with Dugan.
Jeez, we get you have your opinions, saying "oh but it's obvious" or "nah your biased your opinion is crap" are just shows how biased you people are.

And Skeepe, it's funny you say that, you must be listening to the media's BS, considering pretty much every single one of his passes ends up either being a try or a line-break........wait, isn't that what you keep telling Parra fans to stop doing? Aren't they supposed to stop listening to the media hype?
:lol:

FFS, why can't you all just accept they are both great players and get on with it? Like Sarahk said, we are lucky to be graced with so many unbelievable talents in this day and age, just honour them like you would any other great player and stop acting like pansies because someone has a different opinion to you!

I have man-love for both these guys, why do ya's have to say "oh but Player X does stupid crap" or "wait, what about Player Y's crap defence", you aren't proving any points to anyone, you are just making yourselves look like bitchy, nerdly little boys being keyboard heroes. Just do what any good RL fan does and appreciate you have these players! Fans of other clubs will look at these two players and say "jeez I wish I had him in my team", so don't act like spoiled children....it brings down the good name of fans of all clubs.

You missed the second half of my post.
You have every right to believe I am biased, but I am not.
I can say the exact same thing about you, as can any Parra fan, can't I?
Therefore, if you are saying my opinion counts for sh*t, I can say the exact same thing about you too.

"No, Robbie Farah is way better than f**king Michael Enn-

Bah, this thread is fail.
No point typing in a thread where if you try to present your opinion you are automatically told you are biased by people who think they are your 'superiors'.
No offence to Parra or Raiders fans, but this thread is just becoming a troll fest.

* Enter Coote fanbois proclaiming he is better than all, despite having far worse stats than Dugan or Hayne *

I really like Lachlan Coote, he is essentially your quintessential traditional fullback. However, though he is such a good player, I don't think he is in Hayne, Dugan and Slater's class.
