No because he can't help them lose while being inactive, just as with the 49ers. The Aussies have overestimated Hayne's abilities. He's got potential but he's still a rookie, he needs time to develop all the facet of his game as well as working on his ball security. If he was anyone else, the people here would have been pulling out the torches and pitchforks after he fumbled on two punt returns in such a short period of time. Gotta hang on to the ball.
No. We know his abilities and the niners are not using them, not even a little bit, no one realistically expected him to make zero errors though.
Check every other rookie in the entire league, they are all making errors. It happens. You don't cut someone who makes a error who has shown extreme promise.
He is rightly receiving criticism, as long as he learns from it. The niners have lots of problems right now and what to do with hayne is about number 565 I reckon.
At the end of the day they need to work out if they like him or not, either play him a game load to find out what he has, or trade him if they don't think so. There is several teams that would love to have him
