You don't take a team to a GF or to Origin glory without lifting those around you, but I'll concede all other points.
So freakin annoying, could easily have and should have been the best ever. More naturally gifted than any player I've ever seen. Such a wasted talent.
Personally, I dont think he made anyone better around him in their GF run. He did it on pure individual skill alone - off the back of Moi moi charges and mateo offloads
In origin - yep he was NSW best player, but he was also put in the position to score that try - we had the morris boys busting themselves making tackles and so on. He might have been the difference, but he certainly didnt do it alone.
He is all about individual glory - and that i reckon, is part of the reason he tried to get into the nfl. its a sport that relies so heavily on individual talent and americans are so much about their individual player stats its not funny.
Its why someone like Gutherson - who is no where near as talented as hayne, but his work ethic and this team first attitude get him the spot. Hayne is just happy collecting his cash, and will prob fuck off to french rugby or some shit next year when no one here will pay him more than 300k or something
