"I think you need to re-look at the start of the game; Brisbane had the majority of the ball in the first 20 min let alone first half, and when we got a shot at them, we scored. The game was one of the fastest I have seen and we did well to hang in…"
"He used to be able to do it all. Time to hand the reins to Tuivaiti. Paulo is fast becoming a detriment. Be good for a spell off the bench. "
"Players player for the Eels was Ezra Mam. We don't win without him on the field."
"3 - Mitch Moses - Can give the most credit to other plays, but quitely simply if Moses isn't there, we don't win. Especially in the last 10 minutes when we hit back in the lead. The players were buggered and Moses' kicking game was perfect. He kept…"

Couldnt agree more, although Hayne is a legend. We need to step out of his shadow and re-invent ,rejuvenate, reignite the players we have to be more assertive and stop relying on what Hayne could do. I think although difficult, we will still succeed. Not to mention the cash his departure will free up. Yeeha bring on next year.
That's all good bear but how long will that take? How many more spoons will we put into the cabinet before we can create a competitive side? Our odds of winning the comp next year went from 17 to 51 after Hayne announced his departure. That alone should tell you something.
im happy for him to take a year or 2 off to follow his dream. In that time parra will be rejuvenated and will learn to win without him. Then in 2016 he will return with about 8 weeks left in the season and help us win a premiership. How good would that be?
Then i woke up from my dream
We now have the chance to build a champion team. I hope we can use the money we are saving and add the missing ingredients to a team that proved they could compete most weeks this year.
Ye a lot of denial on this site recently.
So tell me without Hayne how would we have gone the last 5 or 6 years? Years of pathetic coaches pathetic recruitment and a board no one wanted to go anywhere near. We would have come last 5 years straight and by record margins. Don't blame Hayne for our failures it goes much deeper than him.

Why did we rely on Hayne? Because the players around him were diabolical. Its not as if the ball went to Hayne on every play from the kick off of every match. How many people say he went missing in matches where he wouldn't see the ball for ages. He gets involved we rely on him too much, he stays out of the play and he goes missing. The crap around him would try to play footy, come up short and when the game was over look to Hayne to get them out of it. Our problems the past few years have been coaching, recruitment and a toxic board, can't you see that?
Geez Bean Hayne missed lots of games through injury etc in the last few years.
Enough for the rest to assert themselves as a team and have a go. Why didn't they do that?
Think ppl baming Hayne for not winning us a premiership are and have been barking up the wrong tree myself and the essence of why we have failed to do as well as we may have.
Do you think if for example if Hayne was in say Bulldogs this year they would have had a more than fair of winning the GF against Souths. I do. He is the triple icing, cream and freckles on top in a good team.
And this year without a couple of key injuries to our young side he was that and almost could have done it.
IF the players did not all sit back in our last game and wait for him to ignite and the opposition to lose sight of him for 10mins we may have still made it anyway.
Btw as for the argument that he took up 20% of the cap whats the excuse for the other 80%.
We need to move on from him and I know we will but lets not bllsht ourselves about the fact that he wasn't worthy enough for us and that we have gained something by him going. Denial is I guess a lame excuse for making oneself feel better about a loss
