Give it up, Bart. It's just footy. You ever heard the expression 'let he who is without sin'?

A bunch of people watched Hayne's game today and had a good time. You could be one of them if you would let yourself.

Were you critical of Hayne when he dissed our club?

I too am anxious to see how he goes. I know he'll do good, but am hoping he's average.

I think it's really funny that we can all bag the inept management of our club endlessly, over and over and over - but when Jarryd Hayne (who would know a million times more than us about the bungling that's gone on at Parramatta over the last half-dozen years) states that our club has been in turmoil and that we never had the administration in place to organise negotiations with him properly, some people use that as evidence that he's a traitor or scum-bag or something. It's really funny.

Everybody knows we had shit management. The supporters call him a dog because the broken promises of returning, the fact that we released him from his contract to chase a dream whilst still paying him, with the hope he would repay us by resigning upon return. On top of that he comes out and says we never offered him a contract. He's a f**king dog, end of story. Nothing to do with our shit mange by which is now gone thank god.

I think Hayne took 2/3rds or maybe 1/3rd of the taking from his Jersey sales in the NFL, he was in the top 50 for jersey sales and he brought home an easy million or 2 from that alone.

It will take awhile for Hayne to come back to the standard he use to be, how long does a team wait for him to find his feet again, will be interesting to see how he progresses. Funny if he touches the ref.

It's funny.

I wouldn't bugger off to greener pastures giving no notice, fail at two other workplaces, and then come back and whinge that the former workplace I walked out on didn't call me to offer me a deal to come back... No. Would you?

Hayne's true colours are showing.

I certainly might leave without notice - he owed us nothing. Secondly, he didn't fail at NFL - last time I looked achieved what he stated he wanted to achieve. And thirdly, given the fact that our 'gang of five' had been sacked - and therefore there was really no-one to take charge of any meaningful negotiations with Hayne - there may be (probably is) a fair bit of truth attached to his 'whinging'. We all get that you're pissed off with Hayne and/or that you don't like him; how about you stop hi-jacking every conversation about him and just let the rest of us discuss the issues. You used to be a poster that I respected greatly on this forum (and still are with most issues) but this shock-jock bullshit regarding Hayne is a real turn-off.

I've been wanting to quote that since Tuesday, and not just at Bart. But I have refrained. Well done for saying it.
There are so many righteous, perfect people on this forum, and in life in general.
I'm wrapped that Hayne had an extraordinary game today considering it was his first hit out in 2 years.
Hopoate still isn't back to where is was after already having 2 years back in the game. Hayne did it in 50 minutes.
Situations change in everyone's lifes. I've no doubt that if our offer was right, Hayne would have preferred to have come back to the Eels. He expected, and I believe rightly so, a better offer from us.
In Brad Arthur's mind, it appears that he is satisfied with the clubs decision to not match the Titans offer.
I'm ok with that too, and I'm ok that if Hayne was dissatisfied with our offer, and wanted to play footy, that it's a no brainer that he'd take $350 k's more for the privilege of doing so elsewhere.
He gave the Eels 9 or 10 years of his career and in my mind was the greatest Eel I've seen play. For the majority of that time, he played with sub-standard rosters, yet was expected by many to lead us to premiership glory and is blamed for us not having done so.
I've got no resentment towards Hayne making the decision ha has, and I look forward to watching the masterclass that we saw today for the rest of the season and beyond.

You see, I am having a good time too...

My understanding is that we weren't paying him - he was receiving some third-party payments which - if not for ineptitude and whistle-blowers - would not have been counted in the salary cap. In fact, in theory, any TPA's paid to him would have nothing whatever to do with the club. Regardless, I think this strident character assassination is really just 16 year old boy stuff. Surely we're all a bit above that?

Well done for having your opinion. And I am entitled to have my opinion on the topic, even if it's different to yours. I don't attack any other posters for having different views than my own.

I'm not hijacking any thread into off-topic territory - isn't this thread about Hayne leaving us, leaving NFL, leaving rugby 7s, and ending up (for now) at the Titans?

I'm sure you know where the ignore feature of the forums is, if reading other people's differing opinions troubles you in some way. Now, how about just letting the rest of us discuss the issues...

 

[phantom eel]

Not that you'd be one of those at all, based on how you never make any judgements in your forum posts *wink*

As I often say, it's just the internet Suity - it's not real life...

And note that I'm not "following you around the forums" - you came into this thread and made a specific post mentioning me

 

[phantom eel]

Come on mate. Of course Bart wouldn't do that.
He is perfect and Hayne is the devil incarnated.

I have never claimed I am perfect Suity.
As much as you'd like for your own reasons to somehow twist that I have...

Well said. The guy is one of the best footballers to ever grace the field. Like Clive Churchill, Reg Gasnier, Bob Fulton, Ken Thornett: he should be celebrated and enjoyed by us fans because we won't see another one of him for probably another twenty five years or so. I feel a bit sad for those that let resentment get in the way of enjoying watching this great athlete play.

Thanks for your concern.. but I also actually enjoy watching Hayne play, though perhaps just for different reasons than you.

Each to their own, as they say?

No worries. I can understand your anger towards him - I just don't understand why you take it so far. I know you regard him highly as a player, because you've said so before. I'm disappointed that he didn't come back to Parramatta but for the most part I don't blame him at all. Anyway, I'll surely be cheering him on when he runs out for the blues next year at outside centre.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think it's safe to say that bart is marching to the beat of a drum that most of us will never hear....

There's only so long that you can use that excuse without people thinking you are truly a f**kwit.

It's really funny.

Our club seemed quite fine when Jarryd wanted money. He was paid the past two years as he 'fulfilled' his dreams. Our club also seemed competent when he needed us to help promote his brand and sell his merchandise thru the club. Had he simply signed with the Titans and said, "unfortunately we couldn't come to terms on a deal", maybe he wouldn't have so many haters. But Jarryd, for the second time left us high and dry. He always knew he wouldn't be returning to the eels. But he played his fans and followers to continue buying his merchandise and lies...
