Hayne signs with Gold Coast

[big hit!]

Article doesn't confirm it, but Weidler did on C9.

Investing a large proportion of funds in one player generally doesn't turn out to well for clubs......unless they're rorting the cap, but this rears its head down the track.

However, I think it's good that he's moved to a club which generally struggles to attract big name players. No doubt the NRL have had input in the negotiations.

Welcome to the Titans.

The big loser is tennis.

lol at Titans. 1 player does not make a good team. Goodluck affording to pay anyone else worth anything on your roster.

Huh? I'm no Titans supporter but they have 2 of the best young halves in the country and seem to be doing ok this year.

For all Parra fans...

Didn't see that coming.

Don't think the Titans need him. If they are going to spend big on one player then it should be a Queenslander...

It's a 2year deal. Their halves won't be commanding cash in that time.

 

[Aus_Dog]

lol@Parra, still can't have anything go right for them this year

 

[drago brelli]

Doesn't the NRL own the Titans?

They are a good team, eg;18-18 v Cron

I dunno, Ash Taylor could get big coin already in a competition lacking talented halves. Elgey also.

Good to have Hayne back if true, but I can see an Eels repeat. 1 man team.

Oh I agree for sure, but they don't Hayne on 1.2 million dollars a years chewing up their cap at the moment. Alot of Titans players will be looking elsewhere once Hayne is on the roster on that much money.

I wonder if part of his salary is from the David Smith marquee player war chest?

 

[chrisD]

Awesome to have him back, congrats to the Titans. A very good team looming up there.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Hayne is the worst kind of athlete. At least those (Kyrgios) with similar personality sentiments (entitlement, arrogance etc) stick to individual sports.

 

[POPEYE]

Titans' players should realise that Jarryd is only a 20 minuter, no threat of dominating their careers merely an accessory . . . Robbie possibly going to Souths is the real story

 

[East Coast Tiger]

They do need a fullback, especially if Mead and/or Hofman leave. Not sure if he's the right one, not for the price involved. Zillman is local and has been okay for them but he's not good enough if they want to be strong. Only problem is, Mead probably will go now.

 

[Diesel]

But, but, but all the media was saying he was going to the Roosters and then the Eels.

Good signing, Tits are on the way up

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Doesn't the NRL own the Titans?

Dunno.

But the Titans just owned the Eels.
