Do you agree?

Gotta laugh that Hayne doesn't get a mention but Slater does having missed a season.
Find it more hilarious that Teddy's stats look far more impressive than Boyd's but he sits behind him. Obviously written by Wayne Bennet is this article.

Hayne on any measure is a better fullback than Matt Moylan so that's a laugh. Hayne has all of Moylans strengths and plus a few more and all of Hayne's weak areas, such as defensive positioning at times and switching off are also areas where Moylan struggles, so to include Moylan and not Hayne is ridiculous.
I also think Hayne is a better fullback than Greg Inglis. You can argue the rest are more consistent players than Hayne but I would still debate whether they are 'better' players. I doubt we will ever see a team go into a grand final on the back of Tedesco or Boyd alone.
I think the reason Hayne isn't in this article is he didn't have any stats this year to compare to the others.
Slater has hardly played a game in 2 years (similar to Hayne really), so I can't understand why he is still on this list. Mind you he may yet prove us wrong, but I can't see him being the player he was a few years ago.
I might be biased and/or retarded, but i'd take Bevan French over any of the listed.
NOT YET MATE IN FACT NOT 100% CERTAIN HE WILL FINISH THE SEASON AS THE EELS F/BACK
NO KNOCK ON HIM BUT STILL LEARNING HIS TRADE
Slater had no stats either for last season...
