Does Jarryd Hayne make the team? | Page 16

theninermaniac · 2015-09-03T20:56:31-07:00

The Hayne Plane has shown promise, but has he done enough to earn a spot on the 53 man team? He is a great story, and the fact that the 49ers are even considering him for their 53 is a great accomplishment. But is the hype train out of control? If he were just a rookie from a mid-major school, would he make the team? I think that despite his strong performance in the preseason, he does not make the cut. He's shown promise, but he doesn't offer the value of other fringe players. Hayne doesn't have the football IQ yet to maximize his talents. Sorry Aussies, but the Hayne Plane's takeoff may be delayed.

Yeah, he is extremely fluid...weaves through openings. I'm glad he got to show off a couple of new evasion skills as well as the shoulder charge in that last game. He has been quite restricted in what he's been able to show over the last 4 games, and if there's opportunity, so much more to see. I think yesterday's game helped his case a lot.

Yeah I hated guys like him growing up. I played in the front row, guys like Hayne were just blokes who hung out with footballers

Bear in mind these aren't new evasion skills either, he's been one of the most dangerous open field players in Rugby League for years, only guys like Slater or Stewart are comparable.

Glad to hear that actual fans have a lot of positive things to say about him. The media spin we get over here is just downright atrocious lol..

Makes sense I guess I'd probably choose not to tell everyone I'm a blues supporter too.. I mean 9 losses in 10 years.. Wouldn't want anyone reminding me of that.. Ouch

Only 9 losses in 10 years in a best of 3 game series. Woo hoo we must have won every year.

Seriously though it's good to see the camaraderie and banter all because of an Aussie repping us all so well o'seas.

Yeah, I didn't word that very well. I meant that he's been able to show some things for the first time in the pre-season, demonstrating a bit more from his arsenal from League.

I try to avoid the Aussie media on the Hayne issue...outrageous lol

Ha all good mate wasn't having a shot against ya

I'd like to see his skillset from the NRL being exploited, not him getting boxed into certain lanes/plays where creativity can be stifled. Having said that, I'm betting that safe percentage plays are what wins games rather than ad lib style plays. It's fun to watch talented guys making it up as they go but there's a certain beauty to a perfectly executed and thought out play.

These are 2015 videos so don't include Billy Slater who spent the majority of the year out with Shoulder Injury and Surgey

4% of the people here actually support other teams and want Hayne cut so their real team can sign them
