#getoutclause.
Get out from what, esteemed Suitman? Does Hayne have a special clause in his contract?

I've always maintained I'd give Hayne credit when he deserved it. Today he deserved it - nailed the field goal under pressure when Moses missed his chance (and a few goal kicks too).

Why are you so infatuated with what I write in the forum, to the point you follow/chase me into threads? :p

Showed at the very least he is more than capable of playing in the halves.

Time will tell how well, if in fact he stays there.
I reckon he'll play fullback next year. Will he be good yea. Will he be 2009 good no.

Will he be worth $1.3m ? Those who lean towards no will say that he's not a top 5 player in 2017, so not worth it. Those who lean towards yes will use the Izzy argument and talk about ticket sales and marketing.

Interesting times for puddin.

Btw puddin said on Fox that he needs to get his body right cos he came from rugby. :p

Cmon Jarryd you trained with Rugby for 8 weeks.

Thing I dont get is why after 8 weeks of Fiji training and 1 month of unemployment that he is not sharper. Ive heard.people say that he's not a good trainer but did not believe it TBH.

Yep Hayne has a special clause in his contract called the Bart clause. If phantom eel judges Hayne to have made it by the end of his second game back then he can leave the Titans immediately while still being paid 1.2 million a year for the next 2 years and go and play French or Japanese rugby. Lol

Last half of 2009 he was a freak in attack, but personally I think he was at his best in 2014, much more complete as a player.

Which is mostly why I reckon he'll be worth it for the Titans regardless of if they play him in the halves or at fullback.

Agree that 2014 showed his ball playing skills. Will be interesting to see if in 2017 he can be just as sharp or if he is in decline.

And defence. / positional play Was so much better from 2013 onward,

Despite the fact we sucked defensively as a squad

He will be playing origin next year, quite possibly at 6. There is no doubt he will be one of the best again.

Lol, I didn't think he'd come back to rugby league with his cap in hand. But his four minutes with Fiji rugby 7s put an end to his chance of a domestic rugby contract to complement seasons in Japan.

I think he'll honour this contract (to restore his reputation in that regard), but look for a happy ending in European or Japanese rugby.

Agreed. It's understandable that people's emotions are clouding their judgment. Some more than others.

Its definitely clouding mine Looser.
Lazy yes, aloof yes, phenomenal talent, absolutely.
Its hurts watching him ply his trade elsewhere but I remain of the opinion that his cost both finantially and culturally to our club would have been too great. I must say though Im a very interested observer.

That's a perfectly understandable position. Reasonable people can disagree. And I'm not sure you're wrong tbh. I'm also an interested observer.

lol, it's actually nothing to me... but watching the reactions on here to any criticism of Hayne since he walked out on us is quite amusing.
Would you like someone to go through your posts and see how many are about Hayne? And whether they are positive or negative?

Nothing to you? Who do you think you're kidding?
