Team line up R 1 - Hayne Fullback - it's simple. - Eels Blogs

1. Hayne will not play centre - he has been one of the most outstanding fullbacks of the modern Era.2. Forget about French at fullback for the time being - his defense and anticipation aren't yet in the Hayne league. French has a natural finishing flair, and has been a try scoring freak every time he's been given the wing jersey.3. Gutherson has only just started running in straight lines. After two recos, he will be nursed back into the centres, and probably not until rounds 4-8.4. Hayne’s defence at the back in 2014 was absolutely outstanding. He'll get back to where he was fitness wise because he wants to be at Parramatta.Hayne will be our fullback for at least the next 3-4 years in my opinion.R 1 Lineup1. Hayne2. French3.

"EA, if I'd seen any deficiences in his defense I'd mention it, for sure. But I haven't. What I do see is a natural ball-player who leads and inspires and I'm sold! Time will tell."

"Bloomfield's attack this year has genuinely been elite. He struggled last year at centre in HM even though he was one of our best players in 2024 HM at fullback. He transition to the wing this year and wow he has improved. His aerial ability this…"

Hayne will not be our fullback when Gutho is back to fitness. Guth is our number 1.

  Amen

I kno you look and see I must be crazy but hear me out....
Taka - next to Hayne, has great brain and ball sense, take a high ball
Williams - used as a prop BA will bring his damage back
Pritchard n Edwards for size n mongrel
Vave n Evan size
Mau n Moeroa off bench bring back their ball playing n offloads to tired defence
Terepo Scott Pritchard K Nuikore back up

I’m with you Chief. I like both Bevan and Gutho but Jarryd at the back, fit and in form is a no brainer.

Hayne will play centre- simple
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER December 2, 2017 at 10:20am

Hay Chief I like you But are you on drugs Hayne to be our fullback for next 3 or 4 years come on I say 1 may be 2 that it he will retire

And when Gutherson comes back who drops out for him same thing for Scott

I hope Scott plays one more year

and I see some people on here name Frank Pritchard in there side I don't think we resign him yet
