  where does that leave mortimer? he is definitely not a halfback, but rather a running 5/8 or possibly even a bench hooker. Im only happy with hayne moving to 5/8 as long as we have a proper halfback directing the play.

  Yeah i seen that too, i wouldn't be surprised if Hayne trains the off season for five-eight,
  
  Humble trains at half (with the guidance of Sterlo) as sterlo now helps. Sterlo likes Humble at half... Hayne and Humble will give us good defence and spped, decent kicking game and passing game...
  
  Mortimer i guess should train for hooker or a regular bench spot... I hope Poore trains hard to be a starting prop.
  
  But Hindy didnt seem to enthusiastic hey

  I have said all along Hayne should be at 5/8 but the bloke is big headed and egotistical for too long Hayne has dictated to the team and coach that his preferred playing position was fullback thats why Burt was relegated to the wing,Hayne is a an excellent player no doubt but he has to put what he wants as far positionally wise aside and do the right thing and make a decision that will benefit the side!!!!

  It'll be great to see Hayne get more involved. None of this 'injection' stuff.

  yeh i think it will be good to see hayne at 5/8 he will be like a lockyer move. when hayne touches the ball its golden we always look shark and keep the defence wondering what we will do next. we all know that hayne has the best kicking, passing and running game out of anyone at the eels so i reckon 5/8 is his position. yes we tried it before but it takes time and we didnt persist with it, lockyer wasnt an instant success, carney moved to 5/8 and is killing it. we need to allow time and not just "pull the plug" if we start loosing, we have a few trial games and practice to get it right so lets get into it and make next yr work.
  
  and as mentioned we did buy humble as a fullback, so maybe it will be
  humble
  burt
  reddy
  tahu
  grothe
  hayne
  ?

  My point is proven. HAYNE needs to be 5/8.
  
  At the same time regardless who plays in the backs, if we dnt have grunt up front, play wid more energy n discipline. King Wally wont even save us!

  why not Burt at fullback. He was great back there n we need more dynamic wingers.

  If haynes plays at five eight! There won't be anymore "hayne trains" or "hayne planes"
  you usually see that when he runs the field on a kick return!
  He basically plays as five eight when parra are attacking anyways!
