Beans means the boys will be busting a gut to get out of the sheds and onto the field.

Excellent move that.

We're probably weaker in the wrestle because we don't have O'Farrell anymore who was regarded as one of the best I believe. And replaced him with no one that has been announced publicly.
I have it on good authority that we did hire a replacement

Jarryd Hayne will reportedly today be served with a second charge relating to an alleged incident of sexual assault of a Newcastle woman in September last year.

Fairfax reports that the new charge — sexual intercourse without consent — is in relation to the same incident for which Hayne was last year charged with aggravated sexual assault inflicting actual bodily harm.

The double Dally M medallist pleaded not guilty to original charge levelled in November last year, and is set to appear in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.

The alleged incident occurred on NRL Grand Final night, when an intoxicated Hayne allegedly travelled to the 26-year-old woman’s house north of Newcastle after the pair had been communicating on social media.

Hayne then allegedly sexually assaulted the woman, taking off her clothes and biting her genitals. The woman attended hospital for treatment on those injuries the next day, with it alleged Hayne drew blood with the bite.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the new charge relates to a ‘specific sex act’ Hayne allegedly committed on the same night.

In a brief court appearance in December last year, Hayne’s lawyer Leo Premutico said the former Parramatta Eels fullback “maintains his innocence and maintains he will be pleading not guilty”.

“He’d like at this time to thank those who have offered him support, in particular his parents, his mother and father” Premutico told the court.

The Eels had shown interest in re-signing Hayne under their limited salary cap at the end of last season, but backed away from the star after the original charges were levelled late last year. St George Illawarra also indicated interest in the star before the charges, then offered a new deal to Matt Dufty to shore up their fullback stocks.

It does not look like it in the Newcastle Herald (no mention at all of back up) which would be read by many/most of the individuals who will be in the jury. The NSW police are like NRL agents with their use of the media.

Well, firstly, we don't actually know that it is a back-up charge...it just seems consistent. And since when would the cops come and say 'We're also levelling a lesser charge in case the other one can't be proven beyond reasonable doubt'. If it goes to trial, the jury will hear what the charges are.

We should find out today if the committal hearing date is correct.
