  Definitely agree. He takes an eternity to get the ball on the ground and push it back.

  The lethargy of all our squad playing the ball lacks effort although Mannah sticks out as one who consistently fights to play the ball.I recall 2 years ago Inu was the wizard of getting penalties in our favour with his fighting to get to a quick ruck play.The reality is that the ruck play is quicker than what you realise at NRL level but it does seem that we have fallen into line with other teams in submitting to a standard play the ball speed.Parra used to have the forte of quick ruck plays head and shoulders above any team which led to alot of teams backpeddling which led to penalties in our favour,which led to a roll on second to none.This enabled us to roll with a substantially smaller foward pack which was more mobile and fitter than the standard pack of other teams.I really hope we find the urgency that we used to have as this was an excellent factor in our games.

  Problem is that it seems Hayne struggles to take criticism

  If I was a forward I would be dirty with is lack of effort in this matter.. I don't know why he does it, it's strange.

    I notice Fui is just as slow most times so maybe that's why the forwards put up with it ???

  Fui is usually very good with his play the balls because he's very rarely dominated or put on his back.

  after the break he plays the ball slow SO THE TEAM CAN BLOODY CATCH UP, NOBODY SUPPORTS HIM WTF!!!! all them Jarryd Hayne breaks can result in tries IF SOMEBODY SUPPORTS HIM, someone like Burt, he is fast enough to catch up!

  he is the only player in the nrl who plays the ball correctly, Tim Mannah throws the ball through his legs and never gets caught.
