Fiction: Hayne has only played a couple of good games all year
Fact: he was massive against Manly in rounds 2 and 10; was huge in both games against the Cowboys in rounds 7 and 18 and very good against the Storm in round 13 and the Bulldogs in round 8. Oh - and then was out of this world against the Panthers.
Has had one 'bad' game this year (by his standards) vs the Tigers in round 3.
Most people will say that Boyd is playing REALLY well this season, but the inconvenient truth is that Hayne has scored more tries, made more line breaks, returns the ball better, runs more and further - in fact the surprising thing is that the only area Boyd is 'better' is in the try assists category (he has 13 to Hayne's 12 on the season).
Apparently Hayne is 'playing crap' this year, but is still streets ahead of all the other FBs in the league statistically - maybe the real problem is that unless he produces an effort like last night everyone thinks that he's not playing well???
No other fullback in the comp can do the things that he can do when he has 'one of his games' - when he's not having those games (like most of this season) - he's just plain old 'still better than everyone else'...
