The good thing about Inu is that we dont have to bring in some youngsta' from under 20s when one of our backs are injured ; We have the skill of the man Krisnan Inu already ! Also, When you have a player like Tahu who can get agressive and start up punchups - yep he goes on report ; gets suspended for about 1 or 2 weeks ; theres no need to panic because theres krisnan inu !

My solution as mentioned in the team list blog would be to put Reddy at Full back, Inu at Right centre, and Mr J.Hayne to 5/8.
Anyway, remember he did debut at fullback for us. I think he'd be great there. As you said brilliant with the high ball, powerful at running the ball back, good support play, and good size. Loves his footy and he'd put his all into the role.
Fullbacks who aren't playmakers as well are dodos. Burt at least can chime into the backline and throw a pass if Ando was to get high on drugs one day and move Jarryd.
To borrow Stiffler's terminology: This is a terrible idea.
It did wonders for Lockyers game. I reckon he has it in him, i really do. But I just really want Inu back in the side! Call me selfish, but I think he has too much potential and points in him to play wenty. Other teams must be laughing at us, whilst they open their cheque book.
There is no space at five-eighth anymore. There are no more dominant five-eighths in the game. The only team with their leader at five-eighth is going worse than we are, and he's generally recognised as the best five-eighth of the last two decades.
There is nothing Jarryd could be doing at five-eighth that he is not doing at fullback, except having to make a shedload more tackles.
Anyway, you fellas stick to your guns. If you're going to be wrong, you may as well look good doing it.
The problems I see having Hayne playing the 5/8th role from fullback are; Is this possibly the reason he gets found out positionally in defence at times? What about his support play? Maybe he spends so much time in the thick of it, he just doesn't have time to get back to his fullback spot in defence. His support play doesn't really exist and the teams at the top of the table have their fullbacks supporting! We certainly are lacking support play over the park at the moment, thus no second phase play.
I don't see having to do more tackling as a viable argument against being in the position. He is big enough, strong enough and should be fit enough to handle it!
I know Hayne will stay at fullback and this is just pipe dreaming, but I'd like to see Inu at fullback with Hayne at 6. We'd then have at least 1 half an astute ball player and a dynamic fullback just like Storm & a lesser extent the Broncos. Just imagine for a moment Hayne and Mateo as the goto men, Inu sniffing around supporting and our 3/4's as the other options.
Soward seems to do ok or last I looked from 6. Until Lockyer ran out of forwards and class around him he was good as well, a bit like our beloved Sterlo late 80's early 90's!
Joel Reddy = I wouldnt mind him at fullback but .. weve got Jarryd Hayne :]
Hayne learnt all his kicking game when he played those games at 5/8 i think.
