Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2537370, member: 8372"] if anything, I think Hayne's defence on the winger was better early in his career. he's got a bit sloppy since he started playing fullback all the time (2009 maybe?). but even then I really don't think he is that bad these days. I definitely don't think we have ever made him look terrible; in fact, quite a few times he has been the only NSW player to make our guys look terrible. I guess my view my be counter to the norm though; I know a few people who think Hayne is really bad defensively on the wing. I have a friend who always bangs on about how horrible Hayne's defence on the wing is but I just don't see it (I mean he's not good defensively but he isn't terrible). he just rushes in a lot, which is a tactic I hate but it seems to be the way wingers are taught to defend in the modern game. To be honest, I thought Hayne has done a decent job defending against Hodges in Origin because Hodges likes to hold onto the ball a little bit longer, so rushing up and in off the wing works pretty well.
