No and a very generous 2/10 on the attempted sarcasm.
Hayne has played for Australia before and he will do again.

Manly's Brett Stewart isnt too bad. They have really missed him this year.

Hayne for me..

but the fact that there are players like Slater, Stewart, et al makes me fear the worst come for the four nations competition!

Look at it positively. They can only choose one full back

Inglis. Can play wing, centre or stand off.

I'd have him in the centres every day of the week.

So would I. But with the Cap, having a playing who can play in multiple positions is a plus.

I've not seen enough of the NRL recently to really comment on who the best player is but going purely off yesterday there can't be many more feared with ball in hand then Hayne. Everytime he touched the ball the defenders either went hell for leather for him and missed or backed away from him in total panic.

Normally when a player retreats 5 yards backwards with the ball they've ran out of ideas but Hayne does it, weighs up where to go and then makes a break or half break.

He does look abit dozy in defence mind.

He is the current player that Rabs, Sterlo and Gould are jizzing over. He is a very good player. Not the best though. Melborne will give PArra a good beating next week to prove the point.

Hope so. They were my pre-season bet

Well in that case they are bound to win. I went for the Dogs pre-season. Not sure what happened to them in the finals. They looked impotent in attack against Parra.

Very much so. Just seemed to lack ideas. Kimmorley was quiet and the pack didn't help at all. Thought Eastwood tried.

I wasn't impressed with their wonder kids Idris. He was all at sea in defence up against Inu and Burt.

He reminded me of Karl Pryce

Go easy on the lad

To be fair on Kimmorley he was out for 6 weeks prior to the finals and was playing with a plate in his face.

Indris was poor. His defending is very poor. No Karl Pyrce though. Indris at least puts the effort in.

Yeah they mentioned that in commentary. Glad to he Kimmorley doing it in a good team. He was wasted at Cronulla.

I'd love to see Slater in a Wigan shirt. Class player.

Two words Nathan Hindmarsh. The guy does about 50 tackles a game. Seems like a right character as well, used to laugh when they had him on the Footy show.

And he's still not found a pair of shorts in his career that fits his Ar*e



Class player but sick of him mooning.

Hindmarsh to similar to hansen to choose him over so many others.

Slater would be my pick, still the best and has so much influence over a game.

Cam Phelps by far...

I thought that when I watched Dogs and Parra. Everyone was ranting and raving about him, but I dont rate him at all. Played at centre and did nothing except miss tackles and was easily brought down in attack. I said the same about Pryce as well at the time

I tell you who i would have in a flash. Jeff Lima!. Ths guy is a bruiser and a half.

The only way I could agree that Slater is reliable is if we were talking about effort. He will always, always put in. He makes a lot of errors and that makes him unreliable. "That pass" in the World Cup Final was not out of character, let me tell you. That said, his confidence to try those things is also what makes him a great player.

Jarryd Hayne is the best fullback (and player) of 2009.

Hayne over slater imo. Hayne has been out of this world this season.

Puts it into perspective though doesnt it. What do we have to argue about? Richard Owen vs Shaun Briscoe lol
