NSW could put Gallen at fullback and he'd probably get the job done. Not so sure about Hayne as prop though

I think it's the other way around. Hayne's big and strong and he makes metres up the guts. Still, he'd be the skinniest front-rower ever and of course you wouldn't play him there.

Gallen at fullback? He'd make metres, that's for sure, and he's a great tackler. But fullbacks need more speed than Gallen's got. Gallen also has zero experience at fullback so he'd be a liability in the kick defence department.

Really, though, they'd both be wasted at either position. If Hayne was defending in the line every week at club level he'd go alright as an edge forward though.

Forget the tongue-in-cheek. Massey's got the makings of a great fullback and now his susceptibility to injury will determine any value over Dugan he may have. Hayne is a centre.

Will be funny to hear the complaining and caterwauling from NSW fans once Hayne is justifiably charged with his vicious elbow to Jarrad Croker's head.

Canberra fans are really dumb if they can't tell the difference between the head and chest :whistle

Hayne is a petulant cry baby. He cant hack it when someone smashes him
The only shame is that fensom didnt give him more lip and watch the sook throw the baby out with the bath water and turn the penalty back in our favour.

Massey's a very talented and tough young kid. Dugan is better than Massey no question and if i had to choose between the two, id take dugan in a heart beat. But its great having Massey around as a back up. If dugan does leave at the end of his contract and i see no reason why he would, its great knowing we'll have Massey to step into the spot. We'd lose something great, we'll lose the best young fullback in the game, but we'd not going to lose as much as much as we could have without Massey

He's been awesome this year.

You fear Sandow..
I don't have a fear of midgets although I will concede that Sandpit has been very good this year and he will more than likely do OK under Big Face. But eels fans have been talking up half backs for years.



Gallen needs to get a few more Origin games under his belt before he can be talked about in the same breath as 12-game veteran Hayne.
Right now - Gallen>Hayne.

I dont think Sandow is going to be the magical answer at parra either
their backs are still hopeless, hayne and their pack is dead ordinary save for Mannah.

Hindy was great, his time is coming to an end, he was beat cold as day by McCrone for his try... a sure sign that Hindy is on the decline, he'd have never missed a tackle like that in his day.

Haha, raiders v canberra fued :lol:
That wont happen, but i dont imagine Josh Dugan playing for the roosters would suddenly make Hayne a better fullback than him. Dugan's a star and he will continue to shine no matter which club he plays for, Dugan will continue to be one of the best fullbacks in the game, and a centre peice of the NSW origin team

J.Hayne will continue being 5/8th pretending to be a decent fullback and playing centre, wing and maybe some fullback if Dugan is out injured.
