What could have been

Just finished watching the 2009 game v tigers on Fox. What a player Jarryd Hayne was and could have been if not for poor decisions.

  • Should never of left in 2014

  • He would have been unstoppable if he had to will to win like Billy Slater had.

  • Hayne was definitely in the top 5 greatest Eels players and propably in the top 20 of Rugby League great. A real shame about what happened and I personally think he's innocent of the charges made against him. It's also a shame Daniel Anderson was booted as head coach as I'm more than confident he would have taken the Eels to a premiership title.

    • Anderson was heavily involved in the salary cap issues and was only recently allowed bacjk into the game Drooper.

      • Was Anderson actually found guilty of any indescrecions ? I mean seriously, Floppa how many coaches would you like to name that haven't committed any dubious endeavours and are still in the game today? I could name a few. They should never have got rid of Anderson in my opinion. It's interesting that the Roosters have taken Anderson board and Russell Crowe is very interested in putting Anderson in at the Rabbits. He will be back coaching sooner than you think Floppa

  • Biggest mistake Jarryd made professionally was staying with Parra he should of left a couple of years earlier for a decent team he wasted his best years being the best player in the worst team.

    • That's true Offie, if he had gone to Easts he could have done a Tedesco and they would talking about him being an immortal now.....Interesting I think Unlce Nick could have looked after any legal issues thatmay have arisen.

      The point you raised was being answered in this club in what I call our "renaiisance" period but I am not sure how far the BA/JA thing has taken us back....context is though is we did make the GF last year and the front office is very solid, just not street smart yet!

      The proof is in the eating and for that reason it is essential that Moses/Brown stay.

"From reading the EA/SB blog, our SG Ball team is stacked with aforesaid talent. 
Now, the big question is do we pick the right ones and do they indeed develop into very good FGers at least (hopefully Origin regulars)."
