JARRYD HAYNE says the rapid emergence of Canberra flyer Josh Dugan as a threat to his NSW fullback's jumper is driving him to re-discover the brilliant form that stamped him as the game's best player in 2009.
Hayne is a very talented individual, there is no questioning this. To me if Dugan plays anywhere near his form in the ALLSTARS Match then it's not hard to believe that the selectors will consider him. His attacking ability does resemble Mullins in his day. I guess only time will tell in the opening rounds. Either way it's a win win for a blues fan or a this parra fan.
On offence Dugan is awesome, but Hayne is on another level.
On defence Dugan is on the money, but Hayne needs a lot of improving, he needs to work hard on his positioning or he could see Dugan take the NSW # 1 jumper.
Hope Hayne's worked on his Defence and has improved since last year, with Slater injurd this could be his chance to take the Test # 1 jumper from him.
Well if memory serves me correct didn't the roosters exploit Jarryd Hayne's poor positional play late last year at Parramatta Stadium on a Saturday 5.30pm game??
For me Jarryd has plenty of work ahead of him to keep improving and part of that work is to fnd consistency instead of 6 - 8 games a year.
Jarryd has the potential to be the number 1 player in the NRL but does he have the attitude and desire?
That was one game, he needs to be more consistant, if he was he'd be the test fullback for sure and they would have benched Captain Gidley in SOO too. Where Hayne is lacking in defence he is making up for in pure talent and speed, but that's not enough to be the best.
"Where have i said you said it ? However you did say we shouldve paid Brown and seem to be insinuating that we stuffed up by not paying Brown dumb money as you claim we cant replace him.
What are we trying to replace out of curiosity ? As the…"
"Just looked it up , during the 40 year premiership drought, we havnt qualified for the finals 24 times, right about now id even take Jarome Luai if it helped us lol..........oops we did lol"

I picture Hayne sitting back in his loungeroom playing wii or playstation as he said this .
Really anyone who thinks DUGAN is a threat to HAYNE is kidding themself .
The only person who thinks he is better than HAYNE is DUGAN .
Maybe Dugan should study hayne before he preaches !!!
