The last few weeks he has been much more active on social media and posting on parra related stuff.I'd still take a fit Hayne and play him at centre and pay him $300K. This rumour will intensify after his court case assuming he is found not guilty.
I think most of all he wants to get paid like a fullbackDoesn't JAC wanna play FB?
There's no rule stating you need to have a dummy half and three playmakers in the spine, especially when you have playmaking middle forwards.Gutho is awesome but I don’t think he is good enough to play two spine positions at once when we have the ball.
There is no rule but playing without a fullback in attack is complete stupidity.There's no rule stating you need to have a dummy half and three playmakers in the spine, especially when you have playmaking middle forwards.

If he goes to Souffs he won't be playing fullback.Doesn't JAC wanna play FB?
Drown could play centre until Moses' contract is up. Meanwhile he and Gutherson work on their kicking games so that they're ready to go when Moses is gone.The only problem I have with moving Gutho to halves is it means dumping Drown or Moses (or moving one to fullback when Gutho is the best fullback of the 3) but I think Drown has more half ability than Gutho, while dumping Moses would hurt our kicking game
A player's form is largely down to the opportunities his team provides. Especially for a winger, in a shit team he will spend a lot more time getting burnt by overlaps and rucking the ball off his tryline. In a good team he will see a lot more open space. For deadshits watching from the stands it will look like his form is better in the strong team.If he really improves over his current form will point to how shit our coaches really are.

In that team I would put Gutherson at first receiver with French and Moses split on either side of the field.1. French
2. Sivo
3. Drown
4. Blake
5. Fergo
6. Gutho
7. Moses
As long as French can use a step and some pace and is prepared to take a heavy hit at times, there is no reason he can't be as good a fullback as Gutho. In fact his better speed may see him able to make more breaks when backing up in the middle and better cover some of the tries we have conceded when Gutho simply hasn't got there in time.
Gutho would be fine as a replacement for Drown at 6 as their kicking games are probably on par and with more of a roaming (left and right side) commission as a 6 he would be as effective as Cody Walker has been the backend of this season. His energy alone would ensure that.
Drown has the speed and the defense to play in the centres, and it would be a great way to further develop his ball skills until Moses leaves and he moves into the 7 jersey.
I know people will claim Gutho has made the number 1 his own (and he has), but I reckon the overall backline is strengthened with more speed and the overall team is not weakened (given we have to find a replacement centre anyway).
I was thinking about moving fergo into the centre as well. If fergo trains in the centre role in the off season I think he'd do well. His a big body, can tackle if he makes the right read (which he has time to work on) and he'll get a hell of a lot more ball.Could Fergo replace Mennings, opening a wing spot for French, (less desirable), or JAC (ideal)? And before anyone tells me that's ridiculous, if we are talking about Hayne, then anything goes.
