As fantasy team lists are all the rage,I'll enter the fray with a wish list of my own.If Parra had the funds and both JT and the Princess were available,who would you choose?
For me,I have developed a real man-crush on JT.It first blossomed 3 years ago at Pirtek Stadium watching JT warm up with goal kicking prior to kick-off.The bloke moved the tee from sideline to sideline and did not miss one conversion.I can't ever remember him switch off during a game or go walk about.He is a consummate professional who gives 100% each game.
Hayne is undoubtedly a gifted athlete, a freak and a once in a life-time player,but, he does drift in and out of games depending on how he feels that day.JT is super reliable and if his contract runs out,then Parra should dump every player on it's books to snare JT.

Cowboys have had JT for a long time, with better players around him than Hayne had, and it wasn't and still isn't enough.
Yet as good as JT is, you place Hayne in even this year's first choice line up with Taka and Hoppa in centres, and we look more than good to go.
Not sure (based on what we've seen in our backline dept thus far) Thurston compensates for our shortcomings there.
Disclaimer no stupid stupid mistakes in both cases.
So Hayne, but even he proved one player is not enough
Hayne, hands down.

What if you see one better?
Hayne for me.
Both are great players but Hayne is truly the complete package. Speed, Power, Passing and Kicking.
His problem was that he demands so much money that you cant surround him with good enough support.
Jarryd playing behind a dominant pack would be unstoppable.
Is neither an option? Would rather spend the money on solid quality across the park, than try and rely on 1 superstar with a bunch of dopes again.
