I may be caught in the moment but Jarryd Hayne has just pulled off tackle of the season, maybe the best try saver ever.



Right winger sliding in at full pace in the corner with ball in right arm (correctly). Hayne tackles him from behind, picks him up before he slides over the line, onto his back and out of play.



Unreal.

I thought the same when I seen it just now, such quality, the guys a freak.

I always liked Kylie Leuleuai's tackle. Really thick and juicy.

Plays like that are why I love the game so much.

Sounds very similar to Briscoe on Fox... expect that was in the last minute of the game and saving the winning try



But... what I fail to take into consideration is this the NRL so both players must be 9 feet tall, can run 100 meters in 5 seconds and made of adamantium

You're right. It was nothing special. Now I think about it, i'd have Tom Briscoe over Jarryd Hayne any day. In fact, after watching the Canterbury v Parra game, i'd rather have Danny Tickle over Hindmarsh too.

OK... so maybe I overreated to your post but the point I am trying to make is that there are some people who only judge a players ability based on the hemisphere he happens to have been born in

I don't. I'm a patriotic England fan. As an added bonus Jarryd Hayne's a Kumul and we'll get to see him against England int' winter.

sounds similar to K Cunningham in a Challenge Cup game a few years back...always thought itt teh best tackle i ever saw as teh player was effectively over the line when KC got to him, lifted him, turned him and took him out of play...

Yeah, it was against Wigan on Mark Smith at Knowsley Road in 2002 IIRC.

Has he changed countries again? Last I heard he was either Fijian or Australian depending on who was going to pick him...

Fijian who only played for Fiji because the Aussies hadn't picked him. However, he's suddenly playing for the Aussies again (or at least was last year).

It was a good tackle though, to come from that far out and make sure he wrapped the ball and turned the man was awesome, better than Briscoe's in my opinion because of the ground he covered to make the tackle.

Toot toot

Hayne train or Hayne plane, I don't care





As an eels fan, I feel it's my duty to slip the missus (a doawgies fan) an eel after that performance

Australia would be mad not to pick the Hayne train. He's an outstanding player. One of the best in the world in my opinion.

Oh aye, I forgot it was Fiji he played for int' WC. He should NOT be allowed to play for Australia now. I hate this changing of nationalities!

Brian Carney on Sullivan



Saints v Wigan around 03?



Another game saver

That the one wiggy was cheering?

It was better than the Briscoe one. Hayne is the ebst player palying the game right now.

Big call that! Better than inglis/slater/nanyn?

Collum Hallpenny's on Pat Richards in the ing down rain at Bell Vue 4 years ago, got him in the corner after chasing him down - if Wigan had have scored then the great escape couldn't have happened.



If memory serves the ball came loose and we got given a dubious decision!

I've just seen the Hayne tackle and it was amazing. One of the best tackles I've seen.

Well he won World Player Of The Year last year. IMO, as a watcher of NRL he's better now than he was last year.

He is playing for Australia because he is born and raised there.



When the Fijian WC squad went to camp it was the first time Hayne had even been to Fiji.

Based on the last 12 months, I'd have to say yes. I can't understand why NSW shove him out on the wing, when they chop and change their halfback combination every game without giving Hayne a shot.
