  Finally someone is talking some bloody sense!!!
  
  Dont fix whats not broken!!!!
  
  The eels started the year slowly DA and the club has been under the pump to justofy Keatings existence at the club sice he came back from injury so what do they do they shift Robson to Hooker and pit Keating and Morts together and everything will be fine!!!!
  
  IMO the coach did not want to play the waiting game for them( Robo and Morts) to click again
  
  ONE WORD............................................................................PATIENCE!!!!

  Hayne is a fullback who feels he needs to play like a 5/8 because we don't have anyone who can play halfback. The coach needs to either find a decent halfback or put Hayne at 5/8 full time. Pretty simple really.

  Stiffler agree totally about Hayne being at 5/8 but Hayne has repeatedley stated he does not want to play in that position and his preferred position was fullback I doubt very much you will see Hayne at 5/8 as much as I believe he should be!!!

  Hayne has not had 1 good game all year, Hayne is playing below average . No line breaks and only 2 tries HES FAR FAR FAR from the player he was last year. Hes leading the tally for DALLY M OVER RATED PLAYER OF THE YEAR.

    Mate that is crap. He won the game on his own against Manly when we were down 20-0 with twenty minutes to go. He was man of the match again against Manly in the rematch at Brookvale. He was certainly in the top three against the Storm. He is not the force he was last year because the opposition has worked him out. Do you not think the opposition coaches studied the videos of Hayne in the off season? He is now heavily marked in every game he plays. Every time he gets the ball he is surrounded by 6 or 7 defenders.. Pretty hard to make a line break given that scenario.
    
    Be fair mate. He is not superhuman. What he achieved during that run last year will never be replicated. If you expect him to perform like that every week you are a tool. Hayne now needs to be smarter in how he plays and that will come with experience.

  Not sure I agree about Smith & Moi Moi's overall form but the others are going well.

  Definitely! Robson to half and Mortimer to 5/8 - leave them there and see what happens. Maybe blood Mitchell as hooker? Shit he can't do much worse in attack than we're going at the moment. I think the Sharks scored enough tonight to make us the WORST attacking team in the comp.
