'IF' Hayne signs with the Chooks, it would be no ones fault but the Parra Administrators. Well run clubs always land on their feet after setbacks and quickly. Shit admin are perennial also rans and make many excuses and so do the dumb arse supporters who shill for them with blind passion.
Why would it be our admins fault?
Well, think a about it, if say Fittler at his peak had done the same thing and left the Rooster to pursue a long held passionate dream, would uncle Nick not have kept regular contact and even maybe visited him at a game? Wouldn't he have been making sure that if it didn't work out, that Fittler would have no problem or shame in returning back to the Chooks no matter what? Wouldn't he have made sure he had third party deals ready to go if such a turn around started to look likely?
Oh yeah, it seems as though he has done just that, except for the visit to the game part and I only suspect that hasn't happened due to the fact that it would be way to bleeding obvious on what his intentions are and Hayne isn't a former Rooster YET, as would have been the case if it were Fittler instead.
Plus, if our admin weren't so weak, they would never have lanced Bill Moss's plan to create a third party sponsor club that would have blitzed all others. Instead we have an admin that fears big end of town players and just makes token statements that we would be 'Very interested in Hayne should he wish to come back'.
Well HELL YEAH! But what have you done, if anything, to ensure that he will come back if he returned to the NRL? We all seem to know what the chooks are doing.
The way I see it is if Hayne does come back to the Eels, it would not be due to any great planning or business savvy skills that our admin have, but solely due to Hayne's own loyalty to his childhood club and mates. But a guy can only be so loyal, eventually common sense kicks in and you choose the better horse so to speak.
F**k I hate my club sometimes.
