Jarryd Hayne

Has Hayne lost confidence in his team mates, he seems reluctant to pass the ball, and this has happened over the last few months. He draws at least 2 to 3 defenders to him all the time and creates gaps in the defensive line but refuses to pass. This was highlighted last night where he went to the edges and had Hoppa free but refused to pass. Unfortunately this has been a common re-occurance lately.

Also noticed that I am not the only one to notice this as Sir Col stated in one blog "IF you wish to blame Hayne then look at how he overplayed his role so many times and did NOT pass the ball to keep our attack going. Hayne took on the line way too often and died with the ball with at least 3 defenders on him."

What are your thoughts.

  • Hayne passes the ball he's criticised for not running it enough. He takes on the line he's criticised for not passing enough. Interesting.
  • He used to think pass first run second but that's not right for a fullback. Arthur has him thinking the right way and taking the line on with his unique blend of size power and speed. Look I agree there has been a couple of times this year where he might have hit his outside supports but I much prefer the way he is playing now compared with last 2 or 3 years
  • He scored a try and a hand in another. He and the team did enough to win. The dogs played with mentality not to lose and with the help of the refs in the first half that strategy worked.
