If you believe that, you will believe in everything.Hayne said. This is not the first time Hayne lies.

I wonder if you've ever told a lie. If so, does that mean you are lying now?

 

[Gary Gutful]

That's a bit black and white don't you think Gary?

Nah, there's plenty of grey mate.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Tallis looks like he should be dragging some stone age chick out of a cave by the hair.

Where's he going to find some Stone Age chick, Witchy?

Since I'm not famous, nobody cares if I"m lying or not. With Hayne, every words he said counts.

OK, gotcha. You hold people in the public eye to a higher standard than you require of yourself. Seems reasonable.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Not sure Roadrunner thought that one through as much as he perhaps should have.

The lawyer for Chris Bloomfield, the alleged Hells Angels bikie at the centre of the Jarryd Hayne Snapchat saga, says his client regards the Titans star as a "mate" and the pair were known to each other well before their post-season night out.

Hayne was pictured and videoed partying with Bloomfield in the wake of the Gold Coast's season-ending defeat at the hands of Brisbane and said he had only met the 26-year-old that night and knew nothing of his past.

That past includes a court date for an alleged extortion racket along with two members of the Hells Angels motorcyle gang. He has also been charged with assault.

In a statement, Hayne denied any previous contact and said the $5000 being flashed before the phone camera wasn't his money.

"There were some people there [at the end-of-season drinks] that I knew and some people there I didn't know, including Chris Bloomfield who I met for the first time," Hayne said.

But Adam Magill, who is representing Bloomfield on the extortion charges, said his client had told him that the pair were well-known to each other and it was Hayne's money in the clip and images.

Interesting...

Even more interesting...

Jarryd's ex-plane-ation of events doesn't seem to be universally agreed by the parties he's mentioned.

Has Hayne sunk so low as to outright lie, after stretching the truth about the circumstances of his signing for the Titans?

Since I told my Kid I 'm going to Osaka instead of Tokyo, Do you think my kids care where I'm going Lol.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I wonder why Bloomfield has been talking to a lawyer.

No, I doubt they do.

Article claiming Hayne was specifically told in August when pictured with a known criminal to keep away.

And just one quote that made me lol:

When he won the Dally M Medal in 2009, he walked into the office of then NRL chief executive David Gallop and said elite players deserved more money, all the while referring to himself as "The Medallist".

Couldn't agree more with this headline... some of the content rings pretty true too.

What does everyone around here think?

People Who Bought Into Brand Hayne Might Be Seeking A Refund
The public no longer believes in the version of Jarryd Hayne the man himself is selling.
Anthony Sharwood Sports Editor, HuffPost Australia

Jarryd Hayne is to be investigated by the NRL integrity unit after being filmed at a party looking very much like he was handing over a $5,000 wad of cash to an accused Hells Angels bikie enforcer.

That's the official version of the news this Tuesday. The deeper issue is that Brand Hayne is on the nose.

Jarryd Hayne is not a bad apple, especially by NRL standards. But the public no longer believes in the version of Jarryd Hayne the man himself is selling. Brand Hayne is in trouble, and Jarryd Hayne knows it.

In the immediate months after his 2014 announcement that he would try his hand in America's NFL, Hayne turned what was essentially a sportsman's journey to one of the world's most elite sporting leagues into a narrative of wild-eyed dreaming and trying to be your best self. Brand Hayne was born.

As we wrote in May this year, Hayne was Australian aspirationalism writ large. Everywhere we turn these days, we are bombarded with the "dare to dream" and "be your best self" message. Hayne was the living embodiment of that. Brand Hayne soared in value.

Adding to his appeal, the journey wasn't all about Jarryd, or so it seemed at the time. Hayne lived by the verse on his Twitter handle, Proverbs 27 17. It reads:

As iron sharpens iron, one person sharpens another.

The verse was Hayne's way of saying that his sporting and personal journey was as much as those around him as it was about Jarryd Hayne. It spoke of selflessness, camaraderie, humility. Core Brand Hayne values.

But how different is Jarryd Hayne from Brand Hayne?

Well, he ended up at a party where there were bikies, despite a year in which the NRL has repeatedly warned its players to stay away from known criminals. Iron sharpens iron. Men shape men. Are these the sort of men we imagined sharpening Jarryd Hayne? Is this the brand we bought into?

He was also pictured hanging out with West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle, not long after Gayle decided that an Australian journalist doing her job as a TV interviewer was in fact just a woman begging to be asked out. Is that the sort of brand you'd be proud to display on your shelf?

Hayne tried to muscle his way into the Fijian Sevens rugby team (his dad was born there), professing his love for Olympic ideals. In truth, he needed a job and some spotlight to keep the ever-growing band of Brand Hayne sponsors happy.

Brand Hayne loves a cause. As an example, Hayne admirably tweeted his support for his former San Francisco 49ers teammate and anti-racism campaigner Colin Kaepernick.

But Brand Hayne's commitment to a cause seemingly softens when there's money on offer. Hayne took the big bucks on the Gold Coast over Parramatta -- his scandal-riddled bomb crater of a former NRL club -- which was crying out for a saviour to press the reset button on the entire club culture.

Speaking of saviours, Brand Hayne projects itself as god-fearing, but instead just seems to have a god complex. Here's what Hayne said at a press conference in August, after speaking about the media and how their stories "are not about truth or facts anymore".

"When you read the bible you realise everyone hated Jesus, so you've gotta put that in perspective as well and realise how much he stood up, and was still him. He could have easily lost the plot and lost his shit but he kept it together."

Brand Hayne doesn't just believe in god. He thinks he's got plenty in common with him.

The fact is, Jarryd Hayne is just another sporting mercenary these days. Strip away all that branding and that's what's left. And if the brand wants to keep a prominent location on the supermarket shelf of Australian sporting talent, it could start by keeping better company.

Interesting POV on puddin.

Time to hunker down Jarryd and get fit. Gee if he does not hit the ground running in March his name will be mud (muddier?).

The Tits must be seething. At this time they would have hoped to be marketing for new memberships. Instead they have a Mitchell Pearce type problem on their hands. Meaning that they have a player who has damaged their brand and has stifled momentum leading into the new season.

Agreed. He needs to play well.

So well in fact that he tears the motherf**king roof off Titans Stadium like two dogs caged!!!

I reckon it was all Joe the cameraman's fault.

Hmmm Bloomfield done for extortion in the past.

He's trying hard to prove in the media that he's mates with Jarryd and that Jarryd is lying.

I wonder if this would all go away if Jarryd gave some money to someone?


I don't particularly like Hayne, especially now that he isn't at Parra but the way people are delighting in bringing him down strikes me as the tall poppy syndrome at its finest.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Yes, there are some people who are getting perverse joy out of this but he seems to continue to drop himself in the shit with his own stupidity.

I predict that if he remains humble, stops doing stupid things in the name of publicity and focuses on doing the best possible job for the Titans next year the "tall poppy syndrome" will disappear pretty quickly.
