"Whether that's at six or one, that's something I'll talk to Jarryd about. "I take on board player's input. I'm not a dictator who will say 'This is where you're going to play and I don't care about your say, this is what we're going to do'. "That's not how I operate. I'm flexible with the players I've got. Ash Taylor can roll the ball around his head, chip and chase out of the line and set tries up and go in and do it. It's the same with Jarryd. "It's not all about Jarryd, it's about what's best for the team. Getting the ball in Jarryd's hands as many times as we can will be good for the team. He's a talent, there's no doubt about that." Darren Lockyer famously made the switch from fullback to five-eighth with such devastating effect that he is being touted as a potential Immortal. Matt Moylan is a more recent example of a player making the transition from custodian to pivot.

"[Hayne] is playing there for Fiji at the moment," Brennan said. "In this day and age, the good fullbacks make good five-eighths. "Moylan is an example of that. I've got no doubt Darius Boyd would make a good six if he switched to the five-eighth position. "Jarryd can do it and obviously Locky did it better than anyone. Obviously Jarryd fits that mould where he can do special things. If fullback or five-eighth is his spot, it's all about whatever gets the best out of Jarryd for the team. That's what I'll look at." Hayne's much-publicised feud with Henry eventually led to the latter's demise, sacked with a year remaining on his contract. Brennan, a former policeman, was unconcerned about Hayne's reputation for being difficult to manage. "It's a case of getting to know Jarryd, sitting down with him and finding out what makes him tick away from football," Brennan said.
