Hayne may have been a huge factor in Henry getting the boot, but I'm with Loser Baby on his tenure with the Eels. I don't think he is the sole reason for our coaches being sacked.
It's funny how nothing like this was mentioned even the slightest litttle bit when we were going through our revolving door of coaches. But now one coach gets fired at a completely different club, one miserable old legend comes out with a stupid remark about Hayne going through heaps of coaches in his career, and now everything is all Hayne's fault.
Let me ask you this...if Hayne was the 'reason' we were so shit for so long, resulting in so many coaches being fired (even though not all of them were), wouldn't it all come back to the coaches themselves? They alwere the ones who wanted Hayne in their team, and they offered him the ridiculously large amount of money. It's their own fault they ended up with a f**ked-up cap. It only makes sense that they cop the blame for it, not the bloke who is simply taking the money on offer.
If BA goes out tomorrow and signs up a mediocre player (not saying Jarryd is mediocre, just an example) for big money, we would all be decreeing it a stupid decision by BA. Not the bloke who is simply taking up a contract. What's he going to say? " Nah sorry, I don't think I'm worth that much. Offer me something smaller or I walk away!"
