Rumours and Stuff

Remember Lockyer was switched to 6 much earlier in his career and had player there in the juniors. Hayne is what, 28? and has no history of being a 6 or 7. Trying to turn him into a front line playmaker this time in his career is probably not going to work.

Hayne has said plenty of times that he would more than likely switch to 5/8 later in his career so I guess that was always the plan. Seems like the perfect time to make a fist of it.

How many games did he play in the 6? I bet it was less than a full season's worth.

Darren Lockyer took a long time to feel comfortable and perform in the 6 - some players take a while to make the switch.

In any case, if we did get him, I reckon he'd slot into the 1 jersey anyway.

Locky took two years with a strong Broncos team around him, but Hayne with a bunch of plodders around him in less then half a season is a failure and will never succeed in the posistion...........

Someone's been reading to many RLW's

Lockyer switched to 5/8 in 2004 at age 27. Hayne will be 29. Is that so much earlier in their respective careers?

Ah, no I never said or suggested that. Try and follow the conversation ok. He can chime in as a playmaker, but being a full time playmaker to being a player who chimes into the attack every now and then is vastly different. What the other chap was saying over and over is that Hayne won awards for being a playmaker. There is no such award. He wont the awards for being the best fullback, (who adds to the attack but not a full time playmaker).

Is Fensom 47 another of Barts nics???

Am hearing there is some big news building in the club for release today - not positive news on the face of it but reading between the lines good to see IMHO..

Actually he won the Dally M Player of the year (twice) for being the best player in the game. It just so happens he won it at fullback. I'm sure they take all aspects of footballing ability into account - including playmaking. It's why the last 9 winners have come from the playmaking positions of halfback, fullback and 5/8.

Is fullback a real playmaking position though?

hint?

 

[Fanbase]

can we try bevan French at hooker? he has a good short on the line kicking game and is elusive around the ruck.....so he'd make a good dummy half yeah? ..bahahahahahaha

 

[hineyrulz]

In the modern game I think it is, that's why our attack has been so poor this season because we have a hand break at the back with no playmaking skills whatsoever.

Not sure if serious .

hmmmm two years out of the game, two years older and no history as a junior playing there, big risk yeah?

Funny how you always seem to agree with Fensom 47???
You only popped up after he disagreed and argued in every thread with Pou and let's face it 90% of your posts are attacking him.

Hhhmmmmm

I can't believe that "interview" with Brad Arthur was what they were talking about. I mean, I'm relieved as hell that it was nothing, literally nothing we haven't already heard Brad say a hundred times already this year, but geez, I had to sit through that crap... I want that hour of my life back..

If it wasn't past my bed time, I would watch the whole show every week, they all crack me up.

 

[hybrideel]

I don't mind the Matty Johns show but it wasn't at its best last night IMO

1. Two years without any serious injury or heavy contact on the body - likely to prolong his career.

2. No history as a junior playing in the halves - so what? Buderus didn't play any junior football at hooker, he seemed to make a pretty good fist of it.

3. Perhaps it's a risk but he's one of the most gifted all round footballer I've ever seen and he was already the primary playmaker in our team as fullback. To mitigate the risk, as someone else pointed out, if it fails then we can just swap Gutherson with Hayne. We have a pretty good Plan B with the potential of a brilliant Plan A.
