Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs $1 million play for Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne

[strider]

I gave our budgie a choice of two coloured items to pick from. She chose the blue & white one as opposed to the blue and gold one. Hayne has gone to the dogs...!!

yeah but your budgie is a sea eagles fan, so he'd do anything to f**k us over

 

[Suitman]

If we lose Hayne we will have a level team right across the park.

I see what you did there. lol

Suity

 

[strider]

f**k that. I wouldn't be doing any deals with the Dogs. Why strengthen their squad while we weaken ours?
f**k them.

Suity

word!

I think you're wrong. Our recruitment and retention and cap management has been ridiculous over the last six years. I don't think this has had anything (positive or negative) to do with Jarryd Hayne. And, in terms of players wanting to come here, I'm sure they'd rather play in a team with Hayne in it than without.

Absolutely. If Hayne goes elsewhere in 2016 thats one thing, but 2014-15 are another thing. Thankfully he's confirmed he's staying.

But the upset its caused just shows how weak are position is atm. The way in which are first grade squad has been decimated is just ridiculous. We can turn it around more quickly with Hayne than without him.

Come back when you've got an octopus.

 

[Sujskiez]

Give him a break. He wasn't educated at Macquarie Boys High.

LOL as a matter of fact i had studied at macquarie boys high for 2 year until it closed down

 

[lingard]

It's worked a treat so far.

We've got Hoppoate, Norman and Peats coming. I wonder if they would have been so keen on us if Jarryd Hayne wasn't here? You've seen what we look like without Hayne playing? Would someone like Hoppoate really want to join that? Even Sandow (a dud, for sure, but the best available half-back in the NRL at the time) - don't you think the prospect of playing with Jarryd Hayne might have helped entice him? Because, sure as hell, this team doesn't have any other attractions.

 

[lingard]

Not at this time of the year it wouldn't. There's a big difference between knowing Hayne was going elsewhere with the best part of year's notice. If we were magically relieved of his salary now, the cap space would hang like an albatross around the key decision-makers necks. There aren't too many players available for 2014 (even including those under contract), and there will be pressure to spend the space on whoever we can get......again.

Good point.

 

[El Diablo]

Why are people focussed on 'at this point' and pay no attention to the fact he said he management have not approached and he has no get out clause. Why are people worried about him going to the Bulldogs if there hasnt been any contact??

because he could still ask for a release

 

[Cammo]

Don't forget Ricky also said he hadn't spoken to Canberra then 24 hours later.........

I am not fussed either way if we get Hayne or not. I would love him to come to us, but I also do respect one club players as well. There is a reason people like Hindmarsh, El Masri and Lockyer are well respected (not just cause off field they are great ppl)

 

[strider]

people have to remember ricky is a politician - he thinks all his shit through and stages his words carefully

hayne just says/types what pops in his head :lol:

 

[El Diablo]

Hindy was on 9 news saying Hayne owed Parra

Hindy was on 9 news saying Hayne owed Parra

he also said he's his own man and if he wants to go then so bet it

selective quoting rocks :lol:

Why say it that way?

If it is a shot across the bow of the board to hopefully get them to get their shit together, I hope it works.......

Clubs are always looking to offload highly paid players when a cheaper alternative comes through. The Dogs want to get rid of Inu now that Lafai is a first grader, likewise with the Tigers and Adam Blair.

Yeh, but earlier in the year your options are the uncontracted players AND the ones that clubs might offload.

Papalli didn't share the love. Just saying.

Gee, I don't know if thats going to help!!

I'm not saying losing Hayne would help us straight away. It would be a rebuilding move, not a short term fix.

The Chooks used extra cap space to frontload Maloney for the next year; we could do the same.

This.

Why would we release hayne now. What benefit is there. We are supposedly without a major sponsor, no coach and no CEO. Releasing hayne now will not improve our cause one bit. It's not like there are quality first graders still on the open market, waiting to be signed up. If it was mid year, and we had 3 or 4 signings lined up, than that's a different case.
