Ricky Stuart: Jarryd Hayne may be the attacking five-eighth the Blues need to beat Qu

[Raider_69]

State of Origin 1995

haha you dont even know it but you're essentially saying the same thing as me. We need a miracle to win. QLD needed a miracle to win in 1995, they got one... maybe we will too.

But generally, something that happened nearly 2 decades ago and is unlikely to ever be repeated is nothing something NSW fans should be hanging its collective cap on.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Its SOO, not the mighty ducks.

LMFAO, one of your best.

 

[GGOA]

I cant understand hown the same conversations take place every year around this time… What a joke it has become.

No measure of rewarding origin form, which is totally different from weekend games.

They don't even consider picking the same blokes as last year. It's insane… Jamie Soward with 3 origin games under his belt will be 100 times more effective than carney on debut or hayne playing 6.

Ridiculous. Pick and Stick. Especially in the halves.

 

[gronkathon]

If Hayne gets named at 5/8 I would wager you will see both Gidley and Hinchcliffe on the bench.

 

[chrisD]

Raiders fans make shit posts. At least Dragon fans make mostly legible posts when attempting to advocate their nuffies ahead of talented players. That and their team was going well too.

Any choice made my Stuart that keeps Carney out of the 6 jersey is absolutely criminal. He is the only half we have with a chance of outplaying the opposition and absolute must be in the side.

I'd go with:

1. Hayne
6. Carney
7. Pearce (purely for their combination, I rate Wallace as better ATM)
9. Buderus

I'd then enlist a crazy bench player, like a Tamou or TLL, to simply go head hunting in the QLD spine. No one gets sent off in origin so just end one of their nights ala Barrett on Inglis. My prefered target would be Smith, with Slater a close 2nd.

THIS x100 summed up what I was about to post.

1 game would have been considered a miracle but 3 games points to a whole lot more. The Qld side of that year proved what you can do as a team when they have belief. There is no reason the current NSW side, no matter who they pick, cant do the same. None

 

[Dragon2010]

If Hayne is 5/8 i will chop off my own d*ck and eat it. Hopefully it's just mind games and being used to fire Carney up. Hayne HAS to be in our back line.

 

[joseph1]

At its best, our backline should be 1) Stewart 2) Gordon 3) Hayne 4) King 5) Uate 6) Carney 7) Pearce. But instead it will be
1) Dugan 2) Morris 3) Jennings 4) Lawrence 5) Uate 6) Hayne 7) Carney.

 

[Joker's Wild]

King? lol you are f**king kidding

 

[Dragon2010]

What? No Jennings in our best back line? King? No offense mate it's a bit soft.

Best we can get is something like:
1) Dugan/Stewart
2) Moz/Hayne
3) Jennings
4) Lawrence/Hayne
5) Uate

6) Carney
7) Pearce

 

[Hutty1986]

King was a good idea.. in 2005

This.

It's not rocket science is it.

On form i'd also have Wallace ahead of Pearce.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I think Ricky wrote that article to make Hayne feel good.

No way in hell he picks him at 5/8.

 

[Mr Saab]

King has been crap. Josh Morris destroyed him when the dogs played Souffs....hate to see what Hodges or Inglis would do to him.
But hey, if he is picked then it is more LOLs

 

[hellteam]

I would have thought if they pick Hayne at five eight Carney would be halfback. Carney surely has to be in the team somewhere.

 

[roarr]

I think I've come to the realisation that Ricky Stuart is a terrible coach and here is my rationale...

The fullbacks are looking a bit thin... Brett Stewart and Dugan are injured, and their two fullbacks in CvC are Lachlan Coote (surely 0% chance of playing SOO) and Brett Morris.

So, completely against the grain, Ricky Stuart comes up with an idea to move one of the best fullbacks in the game (especially points scoring/attacking ability) up to the front line... at a time when fullback stocks are thin???

Meanwhile, at 5/8th there are about 5 quality players... some have SOO experience (campese, soward, mullen...even wallace), one is a Dally M Medal Winner (Carney), and another talented one in Maloney.

How does this make sense? Is SOO the time to be experimenting? Especially an experiment that has been tried and failed in his club team...

Year after year, Stuart makes an absolute debacle out of these seemingly simple positional choices - thus, I conclude... he's a shit coach.

It's taken you this long to realise he's crap?
surely the only reason for intimating that Hayne play 5/8 for the blues is so that he doesn't end up with an impossible decision when he wants his boy toy Dugan back there.

Dugan shouldn't be in the blues team bar a massive number of injuries, but Stuart has this opinion that he is the best fullback eligible for NSW.

Put Hayne in 1, and he'll have to come up with some new excuses why he's putting Dugan back there again after game 1.
