unless we sign a dominant 6 or 7 soon who can run our team and put oppositions under pressure, it will be more of the same next year, and the year afer that.
Hayne has the stand out passing game at our club, hands down...passes both sides and has the vision to playmake.
Hayne has the size to pierce defence and his kicking game is improving, at least on par with the guys we have left, any arguements?
Hayne has developed as a ballplayer in the last 2 years, watch the tapes of his play this year vs 2008, he rarely ballplayed then and now he looks the most likely in our team.
If we don't sign a gun 6 or 7, I would not fuck around any longer, he is a leader, our best player, rises to the occassion and will continue to develop his ballplaying skills as he matures, he is still in his early 20's for fuck sake.
Unless they discover how to reverse the aging process and burt and sterlo make a comeback it would be hayne to 6, Humble to 1 and stop fucking around.

Oooooh just saw that DA will be on nrl tactics tonight. Will be interesting.
There is no point in trying to make it work again, when Hayne's preferred position is fullback.
We already have the option of either Morts/Humble in the halves, or even Humble/Murray if we want to go down that path.
I prefer him at fullback but I honestly don't think the combinations that we have available will change much next year. I still don't know if humble can take the step up. I think he has potential however he really needs to step up in the off season and develop his kicking and passing game to consistent nrl quality standard.
I think hayne has both of this qualities already plus his brilliiance and that will go a long way to get the results we want.
That's the last thing I want. The pressure is on him too much to perform even more at 5/8.
Also, as I have said before, regardless of what players are picked, or the positions they're in, I'm here to support the Eels for the long run.
I'll reserve complete judgment of the whole situation until I see a Humble/Murray combination in the halves during the pre-season games.
Ricky where does it say that Murray has signed. I can't find it anywhere
That is depending on whether or not QC or Orford end up signing with the club.
Have a look at this George. It confirms the Murray signing.
