Any talk of Meninga being the greatest origin coach should is way over the top.
this is the greatest ever origin side, and they've been able to win many series despite not reaching top gear. It's scary to think what Bennett could do with this Queensland team. For what he has been dealt, I reckon Stuart has given it a decent fist. |

JT is up and down as well mate. Not to mention how many things he gets away with. Outright abusing refs is a suspendable offence, but cos it was two weeks from Origin was fine. Hayne gets away with things as well... As far as it goes those pair are probably on par for a lot of things... Cept Hayne has alot more talent... Thursto has the drive. |

Thurston kicked Wolf man in the head and didnt even get suspended. I can remember years ago when Langer spear tackled someone and because it was just before origin he got let off. while there are a lot of silly conspiracy theories in the sport, there is a clear double standards when it comes to certain players facing suspension. Thats me done. I'm off to get plastered. Cya's all tomorrow. |

Hayne carrys the Eels. Thurston had a very average season in 2010 which is why Prince dusted him for the Halfback Dally M. |

I think the Rabbits are going to tee off bigtime on the Raiders this weekend.
I think they could push through the 40s mark. $20 Multi - Manly 13 plus, Rabbits 13 plus, Titans win, Dogs win is what Im looking at. |

I think he has been decent given what he has around him, People expect him and teh likes of Benji etc to create miracles everytime they touch the ball, so when they don't they seem to think they aren't playing well. |

what people seem to forget about hayne is that hes now the most marked player in the nrl. that jordanesque season he had two years ago was probably the worst thing he could have done for himself. |

As for being heavily marked now compared to two years ago...lol, thats footy. JT is marked a lot heavier than hayne, he deals with it and 99% of the time he comes out way on top. Not saying parra struggling doesnt effect haynes game, thats a no brainer. But if you can show one nrl game this year where hayne ran like he did the other night ( with that speed and aggression)...id like to have a look. |

theres at least 272 players in the nrl. hayne is ranked 15th for line breaks and 14th for try assists. ordinarily theyd be pretty good numbers but when you consider that hes in a team that couldnt pay for points and have been getting absolutely flogged. mate do the math. theyre pretty telling stats on how "down" his form is. hes having a season most players would be stoked with but because his name is jarryd hayne hes "playing shit" |
