Who will be the Parra Scapegoat this week?

Is answered perfectly by the following


The infatuation with having Hayne play origin is beyond me.

Yeah, and in a losing side, he came up with ridiculously good stats for any fullback only a few weeks ago.

Sorry you can't see what's obvious to most that he steps up at Origin level and always performs. That and if he's on, he is quite easily one of our most dangerous players.
You are the one making excuses not to pick one of NSW's best players.

Roberts has been our best player this season no doubt.
Opposition fans predictably look only at mistakes and the Tigers game but he's been a standout.
Does it say much? We are dead last so probably not.
Denying it though is laughable.

Parra have been getting smashed all year. In that side, Hayne isnt leading the Dally M POTY. It must all be his fault. Oh, and he was picked out of position in a rep jumper, and played like it. He must be crap :lol:

Coincidently, Dugan played fullback for one game, got smashed, and he's everyones pick to be the Blues No. 1. How the f*ck does that work?

To me, Snake has to be favorite. Hayne should be picked in either 1, 2 or 3 - up against Snake, the Morris twins and Jennings (if he's fit). He should have been in the Test match in place of Boyd.

As for Saab's "garbage" play - who cares what yanks do in their crappy games? Hayne with his try assists was pretty much on par with Marshall.

Hayne and Marshall have a lot in common, they are both capable of some good things but their bad things and missing in action tendencies outweigh the hype the media puts around them.

Did you watch him play yesterday?

Who's Snake?

And yeh the love for Dugan is a bit weird. If he's not 100% there's no way he can play?

Got to give Hayne credit for that, a couple of times during recent origins he appeared to be the only one having a crack for Nsw.

I said as much as you are implying; he was poor yesterday, as was the whole team for 65 minutes.
He's still been a mile ahead of every other player for us bar Hayne, and even Hayne hasn't been as good as Roberts so far - less game time obviously contributes to that opinion.

I disagree with the Boyd comment, but aside from that you are pretty much spot on in capturing the current feelings of Eels fans.

My NSW back-line for Game I given Dugan's lack of sufficient recent game-time would be;

1. Stewart
2. Uate
3. Jennings
4. Lawrence
5. Hayne
6. Carney
7. Pearce

Despite QLD's obvious superiority that is still one scary looking back-line, and one that you would feel can score a plethora of points.
