Phil Gould says New South Wales must play Jarryd Hayne at fullback

[EelDredd]

New South Wales' greatest State of Origin coach Phil Gould has called for selectors to break the chains on Jarryd Hayne and pick him at fullback for the return game in Brisbane.
Privately, Queensland's brains trust had been content before Wednesday night's game with NSW's decision to play Hayne on the wing and Kurt Gidley at fullback.
Parramatta's match-winner finds the wing constricting and it is hard for him to accept the limitations of the role.
Unused to the positioning requirements, he proved woefully indecisive in two of Queensland tries.
Gould, NSW's six-time series winner, said after Queensland's 28-24 win that coach Craig Bellamy had a decision to make for the return game in Brisbane.
Bellamy has so far liked the leadership his captain Gidley can exert from fullback, but he realises he will not be given a fourth series in 2011 in which to end NSW's run out of outs.
"They have Australia's best fullback Jarryd Hayne on the wing and that's a dilemma," Gould said on Channel 9.
Hayne, handed the first try of the game when opposite number Darius Boyd dropped a bomb, conceded the first try to Queensland when he came in off his wing, could not stop Johnathan Thurston's pass over the top and watched Boyd score.
Then in the try to put the Maroons out to an eight-point lead with 17 minutes left, Hayne and replacement centre Jamal Idris were mystified by the face-ball from Thurston to Greg Inglis and Inglis's rapid-fire passes with Boyd.
But Hayne did produce a moment of strength and desperation in the second half when he and centre Timana Tahu forced a try-bound Inglis over the sideline, holding him up over the tryline for good measure.

Everyone knows this Phil Gould you genius,Jarryd Hayne owns Queesland and would carve them up from the fullback spot.

I am sure Inglis, Boyd, Lockyer, Smith and co are shaking in their boots. Will the diver be wearing pink and green boots this time?

I agree, I said it before the series. Hayne has a terrific long kicking game amongst other things, I believe his long kicking game is superior to that of Kimmorley and on the wing that is wasted. Gidley needs to p!ss off to the bench and Luke Lewis needs to start at lock, with Watmough in the 2nd row and Creagh left right out.

gee Gould is a mental giant of the game, everyone that watches league would also say that Hayne should be at fullback

They should be,he owns them,tears them apart every season,watch the footage of every SOO game Hayne has played.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Hayne is a liability will bring more problems in defense for nsw, his attack will be nullified qld will just keep the ball away from him.

Hayne will be playing out of position for nsw if he is fullback

Idiot

 

[HevyDevy]

Also what gould forgets to mention hayne was playing against another player who is a fullback for his club.Boyd was out of position in the rep game as well but made hayne look 2nd rate.

Hayne played on the wing more then Boyd has and still was outplayed.


Rep games are played differently to club games and hayne will not be what people think he will be at fullback

You're an idiot, basically.

Yeah, tears them a new one each series...throws no look passes to Mrs Marsh in the 10th row...throws passes to Lockyer so he can score...yeah he is on fire come origin time.

....how many series has Hayne won again?

 

[chrisD]

Where were you before game 1 Gus? I was here, pointing out the blatantly f**king obvious, where were you then you dumb merkin? When the telecrap opinion poll was swinging against Hayne for Gidley? When it would have required you put half a nut on the line to come out and say it? Where were you Gus?

The absolute ultimate after the fact f**khead.

So he makes mistakes. I'm yet to find a player that doesn't.

He also has the ability to create points - something NSW desperately need.

 

[chrisD]

this is coming form some one who always been wrong.

When you learn to watch league games come back and talk otherwise you will be ignored due to lack of knowledge you have

Are you the same clown in the Para/Manly thread who was convinced Hayne was out of position for not being under a cross field bomb to the fkn wing?

 

[carncowboys]

hayne would be no-where near as good as he is at club level if he plays fullback at origin, he relies mainly on quick thinking and low percentage plays, which you cant rely on in origin. Even if he is selected at Fullback and Gidley goes to the bench whos going to be captain? you cant just put your captain on teh bench and strip him of his captaincy...but knowing how f**ked up the NSW selectors have been i wouldnt be suprised

 

[Eels Dude]

Why should hayne be fullback he would outplayed by a fULLBACK on the wing

Gaba why are you so obsessed with Jarryd Hayne. About 80% of your posts in the entire forum are talking down Hayne. You must be secretly in love with him I think. Did he once reject your sexual advances or something and you have a grudge against him forever?

[Mr Saab]

Lockyer was getting a moon tan.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Hayne is more of a defensive liability than Gidley at the back...but at least his attack 'could' offset that

 

[chrisD]

Why should hayne be fullback he would outplayed by a fULLBACK on the wing

WTF is that kind of logic? Hayne should be fullback because he is the second best fullback in the game. Because when Hayne injects himself into the backline and holds the ball out in front with two hands the defense on that side of the field collapses. It collapses because he can run the ball with power, speed and footwork second to none, he can kick long or short with as much control as any other and can throw the perfect pass long or short.

That's why he goes to fullback. And because you don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about, you're just recycling this bullsh*t nonsense you heard from god knows where.

sounds like something you'd get at Kens of Kensington
