Well it was stupid, SMFH!!

Hayne has never played a poor origin game, unlike Captain Peptide.

Gallens last half dozen games were more about Loz not having the balls to tell Gallen that he cant hog the ball in the red zone.

Gallen gives 100% and if every NSW player did what he did we would a lifted the trophy a few more times.

Anyway moot point cos he has retired from rep footy hasn't he ?

For the Eels right now, a Jnr Paulo type prop would be better money spent.

Go to the WTigers Jarryd.
Could he play at lock? Similar to Glenn Stewart and we basically give him a roving role? He' be like a third half.
If Hayne is willing to take a pay cut and we can nab him for $850K. We take him. Positions always sort themselves out. Players get injured, ask for releases etc.

I could imagine the convo with hayne where a coach says ...

We're gonna play you in the middle. You will need to take some hit ups against big gorillas gang tackling you and you will need to make 30 to 40 tackles a game. But we dont really think the 1.2m you are on is correct, so here's 850k ... you on board?

But ... on the other hand, he will be able to emmulate the feats of his idol middle forward Seffa .... where does he sign?

So it's the coaches fault the captain is a massive selfish ball hog???? You even agree that Gallen was a selfish ball hog???? Makes your example look stupid then huh???

Theres strong rumours we are negotiating with Jarryd and he will be back at the eels next year.
I realise its hard to believe and we've heard it all before but theres some rumblings going on from people in the know inside the club, theres some people getting a bit excited..

I did try to give you guys the scoop, nobody listened.
Todays article is incorrect with a few things, we were contacted by jarryds management well over a month ago.

Some guy about 6 months ago said this would happen. I heard it on the radio. Pretty sure it was on triple m.

Hayne is a decent player and we're kidding ourselves if we think he would not improve our line up.

For mine its just a matter of his current value, or at least what BA values him at. If he is keen to come back, then lets so how keen he is. He can forget his $1.2 mill as for mine that would cause issues with balance and salary cap.

If I had to value him I would offer about $600 or possibly a bit more, maybe some TPAs 1 year and another year option, nothing long term due to his past. Lets see if he is really interested or he just wants to milk us for salary cap as we have plenty, then he can f**k right off.

I think hayne would genuinely be interested in coming back and looking like the saviour that wins us a premiership - honestly

BUT I also think that jarryd expects to be paid big bucks for his services ... he has an ego and being up there on the big bucks the big names are getting helps satisfy that ego ... i cannot believe he takes a massive pay cut ... (unless its for broncos/roosters/dogs massive paycut, nudge nudge wink wink)

Well i said it a few weeks ago when it was actually happening and gave the exact same version as in the article here.
The negotiations are a lot more advanced than the article makes out, Jarryd is desperate to come back, thats true, hes also ready to take a pay cut.
We are genuinely interested.
My contact is pretty certain he will be back in eels colours next year.

Do you have any idea how much of a pay cut we're talking about?

Another thing to consider here is that the inclusion of Hayne negates the need for Feldt who I would assume would cost us 250-300k (not that I think he's worth anywhere near that but he has won a premiership and kicks). French moves to the wing so assuming Hayne does in fact take a 850k salary, it's really only a 500k difference which for mine, we'd be crazy not to consider.

You don't really need Casper to speculate.

"The Eels will be unwilling to match Hayne’s deal at the Titans for next year, according to the report, and will be around $400,000 short of Hayne’s current deal." (of 1.2 million).
