Hayne the Decoy

Posted by Craig Marshall on August 23, 2014 at 12:01am

So to me this shows how good BA is as a coach.

In the 1st half I thought Jarryd tried to force it too much 1 on 1.In the 2nd half he ran as playmaker or decoy.He sucked the Defence in thus creating the opportunities outside

To me BA made the adjustment at halftime and this was a master stroke

That was the best half of footy I have seen by a Parra side in a long time.If Sandows try was awarded it would have been 28 nil in a half against the competition leaders

Sandow's try was definitely unfairly disallowed. We were awesome that 2nd half. Bashed the f out of them.

He should take o the half/five eight traditional attacking role more often, any time he has the ball he attracts at least 4 players, have him sucker players in onlt to pass to a flying sandow with norman running the support play.

He definitely moved in as the playmaker rather than the guy we were looking to get the ball too and you're right it changed the game around.

Do you think that after Sandow had his try disallowed that the team lifted, as if they new that they could win but were going to have to do it tough? After the disallowed try their intensity across the park lifted, every set in defense became massive and it didn't stop for the rest of the half.

  Reckon so Daniel. If that's the case how great is BA and the boys for turning around the adversity of not just the past week but also the Manly loss earlier in the year, (with such a young group) into such a tough intense comeback. So proud of our young team and Sandow, he just didn't let it get the best of him!
  
  The crowd was with them for every moment of the way and I know being out there you just could feel the will to get them home DESPITE the refs.

  Watch the set of 6 after the no try.We smashed them on defence and that set the standard for the rest of the half

Yep Hayne to 5/8, we have enough finishers in our team, how much better would we be if we had one of the best ball-players or play-makers in the game (Hayne) to set them up... Plus now he would have a halfback who is playing well and in form, which he didn't have in his previous stints at 6.
