He doesn't need to replace his exact position to be a suitable replacement. He just needs to be that strike outside back who can create something out of nothing, which he is. Hayne's go forward isn't as good as Radradra's, but he is at least as good in every other area, and is safer in defence and makes fewer errors. Whether he plays wing or centre, Hayne will be a good replacement. He will provide much of what Radradra used to do for us.

I also think Hayne could end up attacking at centre but defending on the wing, like Hopoate in 2015. That means we get the benefit of his skill under the high ball, as well as his go forward.

Hayne also possesses an extremely good kicking game, both long and short, which he can use either in attack or to get us out of trouble at our own end. I see the 2018 version of Hayne as being very similar to Takairangi but with more experience, better football instincts, better defence and a great kicking game. I'm sure he's lost a fair bit of speed, but he's still at least as quick as Takairangi. I can't see anything but good coming from him at centre.

I was just walking down Cleveland St and noticed that the police had stopped a car with 2 priests in the back. 'We'really looking for a couple of child molesters' the cops explained. The 2 priests looked at each other and replied. ..."We'll give it a go!"

Why Cleveland Street?

Taka beats Hayne in two areas only. The big charge like a forward and his ability to fire up his team mates.
Hayne is superior in every other part of the game. Passing, running,defense,kicking, skill set.
Hayne from what Ive read and heard has trimmed right down and his acceleration is still excellent.
Will be a great addition.
