In light of Gutho's stellar season and Dally M contention, who would you have in your team?
Two vastly different playing styles, Guthos all out consistent effort and professionalism vs Haynes game winning talent but hot and cold attitude.
Who do you want as your fullback?

For pure talent it's Hayne everyday past Sunday.
Guthos just not in the same talent code and that's not his fault Hayne at his best talent wise is probably one of thee best to lace it up.
But guts and does what's required and a pure locker room guy you take the latter.
imagine if Hayne had Guthos attitude and desire, he would have left everyone for dead week after week
I was a huge Hayne fan and I wouldn't have thought 3 years ago I'd ever have said this but in terms of overall value to the team cause - for mine it's Gutho.
Would Hayne had been in position in the 78th minute of a tough contest to make that cover tackle that Gutherson made on the weekend to win us the game? I'm not sure. At his best yes but his problem was he wasn't always at his best.
Michael, absolutely get your point. Your comment just reminded me of a great JH try saving video and yes it was a long time ago as you say. Enjoy... https://youtu.be/cJvV19HAaM4
there was one on the line against Penrith from years back which was my favourite, just wish I could remember the year.
Yeah I mean look at those. Even those defensive plays were superhuman forget the attacking stuff but the issue was some games he simply wouldn't be where he should have been to make the tackle. He wasn't at 100% every game. Gutho is. I'd also argue that Gutherson is developing into a better ball player. Like everything Hayne did his passes were often spectacular but he wasn't as selective as Gutherson is.
Depends on what situation - so there can be NO correct answer as neither have GF success
You want a lifer, a dude to build a club around - Gutho........but No GF
Say what u want about Hayne NOTHING I MEAN NOTHING parra has donr since 1986 & that inclures 2001 & 2005 can match the the EXCITEMENT of the Hayne Plane in 2009 with our run from 2nd last on the ladder to the GF
So we all want a wife - a best friend for life right - GUTHO
But if u get to have an affair with the HOTTEST 18yo SEX CRAZED Nympho - but only for a short while - YOU TAKE IT EVERY TIME & that is what Hayne DID
If you are HONEST and have NEVER experienced a GF and were a Parra fan in 2009 - You take those 10 weeks over Gutho EVERY SINGLE TOME - otherwise you are a LIAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I win
Interesting analogy, lol
Hi Tele yes you win! Fantastic analogy!!
Hayne..shouda,coulda, woulda. Wasted talent. What a footballing genius he was. Amazing footy IQ but... If I went to war, I'd want Gutho and Nathan Brown either side of me.
Zero other IQ. One of the dopiest ever. Couldn't string a coherent sentence together if his life depended on it. At any time in his career.
