"Like I always said, if I ever came back I’d go to Parra if they wanted me. That was always something I said from the start. It’s funny when you see media outlets say I’m doing this and I’m doing that. It’s even funnier when you see Parra fans go online and have a go at me. If you believe that you’re a clown.”

And this:

“I’m leaving knowing that I have signed a ‘lifetime agreement’ with the Eels, so if I return to the NRL, it will be to Parramatta"

Titans presser is on soon.

Let me guess "at the end of the day, I've got to do what's right for my family".

Remember though when it was rumoured Hayne was going to the Roosters which wasn't true Hayne read all the Parra fans comments who had a go at him. That would have upset him. He said people believe any rumour.

Paraphrased: "Never thought I'd join another club... not in my wildest dreams I thought I'd be up in the gold coast... everything happens for a reason, part of me is sad not going to go back to a club that I grew up with and love as a kid... the excitement of joining the Titans their future going forward and being a part of that... very honored and blessed to be up there.. something that wasn't easy. and uuh yeah i think I wouldn't play footy this year.. the board and parra, couldn't get something done... It's sad, it hurts me just as much it hurts the fans down there... and I'm sure over the coming days and weeks I guess everyone is going to have their opinion but at the end of the day I made this decision based on multiple things.. everything happens for a reason and it is what it is"

He'll sleep fine at night on a mattress and pillow full of money, good on him he is a great athlete deserves the pay day. But why string us all along, why say he signed a lifetime deal at parra etc etc? Why?
Because Judas Hayne is a selfish merkin.

I think $800k is good money under the cap when you have been out of the game for 2 years. Remember the $1.2m the Titans offered includes TPAs, so they are paying similar to what we wanted to.
Two things about this...

1) Where does it say the offer includes TPA's, and...
2) It's against the rules to use TPA's as an inducement to sign with a club.

What a bizarre press conference. He sounds shattered that he had to sign there to be honest. He looks like he no more wants to play at the Titans than I do...

Wow...this is just bizarre.

Not really weird, he is being smart. The subtext is "I love the Eels.. but it's the Eels fault they didn't offer me more money."

I reckon he probably has regrets ... but I think he is playing the regrets up a bit .... maybe things aren't good right now, but he couldn't wait a little?

Yes, he is being very smart. Be "sad" that you didn't sign with the Eels, but excited about the future at the Titans at another time. Privately he did it for the money. What did anyone expect him to come out and say:

"HAHAHA, WOW, FINALLY I'M AT A CLUB THAT HAS THEIR SHIT TOGETHER. I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THAT HELL HOLE, I LIED HAHHAA"

So is that right, Parra never offered him a contract? Was there anyone at Parra willing to offer him a contract? Very strange IMO. Good luck to him but kind of disappointing I'm sure once Parramatta got everything sorted they would've gone after him but obviously Jarryd couldn't wait.

At least we can spend the money on one maybe 2 or 3 players.

Hang on, he signed 10 days ago. When was Max put in? Would we have even had time to put in an offer given we didn't know our cap position going forward?

This stinks.
