Wow, Titans making sure they get out of two unnecessary monthly payments before Hayne refuses to turn up for their training in the new year.
Like Colonel, I think Hayne already wanted to be elsewhere in the final two games of 2014, when he could have easily produced to his potential and kept us in finals footy.
If we announce his signing, on reduced money closer to his now reduced value, hopefully he really wants to be here this time and will produce in a team environment.
If we release players as a result of Hayne's apparently imminent signing, I think it's a bad move and will harm our chances in 2018. Like Colonel, I'm happy to eat humble pie if proven wrong.
On form I think we should only sign him for one year, with a one year option in our favour. He's clubless and we should be in the driving seat. Use money we might have kept aside for Semi, kiss hopes of a mid-year Semi return goodbye, and play Hayne in his best position on the wing - until he walks out on us for some other dream in 2019.
