Bulldogs v Eels ... Jarryd Hayne is reported for leading with the legs asBryson Goodwin scores. Photograph: Gregg Porteous Source: The Daily TelegraphBRYSON Goodwin has gone into bat for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne, with the Bulldogs winger vowing to help Hayne beat a potential dangerous contact charge that threatens to wipe him out of next week's NRL grand final.Hayne jeopardised his appearance in the premiership decider by being placed on report by referee Tony Archer for kneeing Goodwin in the head as the `Dogs flyer scored the opening try of the match.Anything more than a grade one dangerous contact charge from the match review committee on Monday would see Hayne need to front the NRL judiciary to fight for his right to play in the grand final.But Goodwin said he would give the Dally M medallist all the support he needed to clear his name.Goodwin's stance was in stark contrast to that of teammate Ben Hannant, who claimed the Eels should not have finished the game with their full quota on the field after he had his shoulder wrenched back by hooker Matthew Keating.Start of sidebar.

Return to start of sidebar.Like Hayne, Keating too faces a nervous couple of days as he awaits the match review committee's findings.But it is the potential loss of Hayne which would be catastrophic for the Eels premiership hopes - with the game's hottest player having carried Parramatta to within 80 minutes of their first premiership on 23 years.``I'll see the replays and what happens, if it looks like he didn't mean anything then I'd help him out (at the judiciary),'' said Goodwin, who was still feeling the effects of the head knock after the game.``You don't want to miss out on a grand final with a team that you've played with all year, he carried the team you could say to where they are now so it would be bad to miss out for him.``A few of the boys have seen it, he just came in with his legs but I'm not too sure what happened.''Hannant was in no doubt however as he questioned why referees Archer and Ben Cummins did not take sterner action over the two incidents, with Hannant left requiring painkilling injections to get back on the field after suffering a partially dislocated shoulder and hyper-extended elbow.``The refs didn't make the decision to send him off so, what warrants getting someone sent off?'' Hannant said.``Just because you're the best player in the world, does that mean that you never get sent off, these are the questions you've got to ask the NRL, not us.``We just did our best, we fought hard, we were busted but we kept hanging in there.''Eels coach Daniel Anderson seemed surprisingly confident neither of his players would have a case to answer, with Anderson more concerned about the availability of skipper Nathan Cayless due to a hamstring complaint.``A little clumsy, but not malicious at all,'' was how Anderson described the Hayne report.``There's no use jumping up and down. I'll let people do their job. They're not going to listen to me.''

  Now I'm not a bulldogs supporter, but who wouldn't be angry if they dislocated their shoulder, lost their chance at the big one, and also after they did so well this year?

    hannant's just a sook. he put his arm in that position when he was fending MK in the chest. matt was just hangin on to what he could, and hannant got drove into the ground. its not like MK deliberately wrenched on it

That's made me lose a lot of respect for ben hannant. I always thought he was a bit of a no-nonsense player who let his footy do the talking..... Well not anymore!

Listening to all the bulldogs whinging just, makes the victory even sweeter
