Atm it's neither a good or bad signing, the same with every other signing. We will only know by the end if it was good or not. No point in getting all worked up about it now with the wrist slashing and handing in of memberships.
But if we dont get all worked up now, when will we get a chance to be outraged? ... we will be too busy dishing out i told you so's later on

I'm for it if BA is. I also think Hayne's a huge talent that we might get at a good price. He's still young and was good under BA in 2014, and BA is more in control now than he was then. Like most I have reservations but I see a huge upside.
I get all of that but I preferred the idea of us not getting rid of players to accommodate him.

Parramatta Eels cool on Jarryd Hayne's return after being burned over NFL career

Jarryd Hayne has plenty of fences to mend before being welcomed back to the fold at Parramatta.

Hayne dramatically walked out on the Eels in 2014 to try his hand at NFL and is now in informal talks with the club about a return to the blue and gold.

But while he still has mates at Parra, notably skipper Tim Mannah, others in the club are not so crazy about the code hopping star.

Several officials - and players - are dirty at the way Hayne abruptly left them in the lurch three years ago to try his hand at NFL and are sceptical about his reasons for wanting to come back ‘home’.

It’s been well documented that Hayne was a disruptive influence on the Gold Coast last season and he may need to sit down with players and the coaching staff and assure them he has changed his ways.

So the Mole uses Hayne / eels as click bait!! Nothing new in his "Hayne" story. Of course some will be unsure about it!!

How many of our current players were actually at the club when Jarryd signed his lifetime contract?
Timmy, Ma'u, Edwards? I guess French was playing 20s.

I dont think players give a shit about another player chasing a dream or $$$s - they know the business

I dont know how many "officials" were here then ... obviously the big cheese ... but been some turn over since then

LOL at the mole. "Several officials - and players - are dirty at ..... Hayne"

Which players were at the Eels in 2014 from the current squad ?

Norman, Timmy, Gower, Peni & Kenny.

Others who were playing juniors are Tepai, Davis, French & Kaysa.

What officials were at the club in 2014 ? BA and maybe a few gear stewards ? Certainly not the board.

Arthur might be dirty i'd say
You would have thought so... it was at the end of his first year in charge of an NRL team and he had the Dally M player of the year at his disposal who then duly f**ked off and left him high and dry... He was probably, and quite rightly, thinking 2015 and 2016 were when we were in premiership windows.... But Hayne's defection put those plans back 3-4 years....

Not that he'd divulge much, if anything, to the media but I'd love to hear wat BA's thoughts are on this whole situation...

I like the idea of Hayne coming home and playing a traditional lock position. I am not sure he would enjoy the extra defensive work but he is a great tackler. His ball skills require him around the ball.

If Hayne had to make 40 tackles a game his running game would go to shit

From what I have seen the last 2 years - I think his ball skills are more valuable to us than his running game. He isn't that 09 fullback anymore.
