I watched it last night, and Hindmarsh was fantastic in his summation of Hayne.
I've never seen Tallis, Fletch and Johns look so uncomfortable - suggest to me it's all brutally true
Hmm. But Tallis is an idiot. Remember if you want to understand why Potter went from almost being successful to a ruined team, blame Tallis. Seriously we should be booing him off whenever he comes to C'town. Fletch may have known Hayne, Johns would not have.
I think though that Tallis, Fletch and Johns would be looking at Hindy going "mate, you are opening up a war with one of your former colleagues and he is a current player, you're not.". Like how Shayne Webcke told too much about the Broncos. Not saying their right or wrong, not saying Hindy or Hayne is right or wrong. But I reckon they were thinking that Hindy was making a career ending error.
Not taking sides on this one. But it is interesting that Hindy does not like Hayne. Hindy is a real champion and I do weigh his opinion heavily. But Hayne pretty much got the Eels to the 2009 Grand final.
Hayne sadly has a big ego. However the media helps make it. It brings guys like him and Jennings up, then complains that they are too high. IMHO, Hayne should take a paycut and go back to the Eels. Give them one pass to the finals then go moneyball again.
"Hindmarsh is making a career-ending error"? How so? He only spoke the truth.
