Interesting article with quotes from Pulver about Hayne's meeting re rugby options.
http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-union/w...ne-shift-to-nsw-waratahs-20160721-gqarhg.html
A lot of comments about money, which could give a flavour of where Beavis/Hayne's heads are at?
Interesting comment too that Hayne is apparently interested in time in France later in his career....
Seriously, why would Hayne come back to league? To play in a losing Origin team and tarnish his series-winning finale? Play for us in a different more difficult position, or in his old position behind nuffie halves because we won't be able to afford an upgrade while Hayne's here? Face the same problem at another league club? Only get to France by playong for Catalans and spending every second weekend in nortern England?
Union has so much more to offer Hayne - domestic seasons with Waratahs, off-seasons in Japan to rake in cash (and promote his brand), occasional test rugby with Fiji among the islands nations, and then finishing with a retirement contract for one of the 10 or so Union clubs in the south of France.
Hayne can probably set up a Hillsong branch over there too when his playing days are over, becoming Hillsong's version of Tom Cruise!
