Hayne and Frenchy

i think Hayne and French will have a good combination this year.

Speed to back up a slow Hayne who has the bulk and skill to go through gaps handed onto French who has the speed to get to the tryline.

Just a prediction.

Hayne winger - French Fullback.

What do you think ??

  • i think...

    Gutherson Fullback

    French Wing

    Hayne Centre

    • When everyone is fit this is the best line up 

    • Hayne wing outside of takka would be exciting
  • I tend to agree with ParramAddict on this one. Only concern would be Gutherson’s injury.

  • Fox sports reckon Gutherson will return between round 1-3
    So he may only miss the first round and that's it
  • If Taka isn't in the centres he should be at Wenty because there is no way an Edwards or another middle forward miss the bench for him.

    • Agree, he should only be on the bench if we are going with a utility and smith isn't available.

    • agree - I like Taka but may have to miss out with a full side and bench

  • I would start Hayne in the centres for sure
  • I was liking the moses/Jennings/French combo last year, would not change it.

    I would have taka centre and hayne on the wing, however give hayne the Radradra privileges and let him switch with taka during plays and float across the backline as a second fullback, particularly off scrum plays.

    If hayne plays centre our wing would just be too much of a massive liability, auvua struggles with positioning both in attack and defence and struggles under the high ball. Hoff would struggle to make any other team. Davis showed in his game last season he isn't of first grade quality. Smith could slot in there but I see him as a fullback/half rather than winger and two small wingers may damage our go forward early in sets.
