Titans seemed to be building nicely last year. The Hayne signing may have put them back 5 years especially if Ash Taylor jumps or Henry gets rissoled (or both). Brad Arthurs has made a few mistakes in recruitment through no fault of his own, but he learnt from them and made the right call on this one.
If you're going to be paying some merkin stupid money he needs to be providing off the field as well as on it. The genuine stars are also leaders.

I always thought they were associates though, they palled around together at one point didn't they?

Just because he didn't go over there this time doesn't mean they aren't "associates"

This was what Hindy was saying last night.
Jarryd Hayne NRL: Eels, Titans form, Nathan Hindmarsh’s brutal assessment on Matty Johns show
NRL Premiership

Who to blame: Hayne or Henry?

3:50
IT’S the most brutal, damning critique of Jarryd Hayne yet.
The Late Show with Matty Johns crew have carved up the superstar on all fronts, as a cold war with Neil Henry rolls on amid his poor form at the Titans.

Matty, Nathan Hindmarsh, Gorden Tallis, Brett Finch and Paul Kent all weighed in on Hayne. Matty said Hayne had brought a rising Gold Coast team undone and been a poor role model to young players. Tallis said the $1.2 million per season star was immature and not having a go.

His former Eels captain Hindmarsh was most damning of all. The club legend said that Hayne often had game days where he took no interest in playing; that he had not responded to years of efforts from senior players to make him more consistent; and that he may have been responsible, as Parramatta’s flaky superstar, for a long line of Eels coaching casualties.

HAYNE vs HENRY

Segment host Kent says the current Hayne-Henry furore is exactly as it seems: The pair do not get on. Matty and Gordy had their say.

Gordy: “When you hear that all the players don’t have a problem with Neil and all the players don’t have a problem with Jarryd, it’s probably Jarryd and Neil...”

Kent: “There’s no doubt they’ve got a problem with each other.”

Gordy: “So those two need to work it out. The club’s bigger than any individual and if Neil’s liked by every other player and Jarryd’s got [a problem] ... I don’t know if Jarryd likes being told what to do. No one likes being told what to do but I think Jarryd needs to grow up.”

Matty: “What we saw last year under Neil Henry, Neil Henry has proved himself over a time that he can coach. And last year, they were a side - people were saying, ‘Who’s going to come last, Newcastle or the Gold Coast?’ They were incredible, what they did, to get in the finals was such a great coaching performance. Jarryd has arrived, he’s thrown them off-kilter. He has thrown them off kilter.”

EELS COACH KILLER

Hindmarsh suggested that Hayne had a poor history with keeping his coaches in a job. He pointed out what happened while the superstar was at Parramatta - and what’s happened at the Eels since, with current coach Brad Arthur cemented in his role.

Hindy: “You look at the coaches. This might just be a coincidence. 2006, when Haynesy started - Jason Taylor, interim coach. 2007-08 was [Michael] Hagan - gone. 2008-09, [Daniel] Anderson (axed 2010). 2010-11, Steve Kearney - gone. Ricky Stuart was ‘13 (quit for Raiders coaching job). And BA [Brad Arthur] was there ‘14 and Haynesy seems to have gone (left for NFL) - and BA’s the only coach that’s still there.”

Foxsports.com.au understands that Arthur was not interested in Hayne returning to the club for next season, after lukewarm interest last year.

SLACK ATTITUDE, HINDY’S LAMENT

Hindmarsh said that Hayne had days where he simply didn’t want to play. He and other senior teammates were never able to break his mood swings, with his outrageous 2009 Dally M season a mysterious outlier, before he finally returned to peak form five years later.

Hindy: “I’ve seen efforts like that before, I’ve played with him. You know, this is really what’s so frustrating about Jarryd Hayne, the player. He’s got so much ability but there’s weeks where he just won’t bring it out to play, and there’s weeks were you can absolutely flat-out know that he doesn’t want to play the game of rugby league on that day.”

Gordy: “So how do you get the best out of him?”

Hindy: “I tried for years and there was other senior players in the group that tried for years to get the best out of him. I don’t know what happened in 2009.”

Finchy: “Do you think that 12-week period, where he was in possibly the greatest form of any player...”

Gordy: “It’s the greatest run in our game.”

Finchy: “...Do you think that’s been worse for him, because since then, everyone expects him to play like that every week and it’s hindered him with expectations?”

Hindy: “2009 was a great year for him. 2010, ‘11, ‘12, probably ‘13 weren’t that good, 2014, comes out Dally M player of the year again.”
Matty: “That’s a long dry spell.”

Hindy: “It is, and it’s inconsistency. If you look at your top players like Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk... [that doesn’t happen].”
POOR ROLE MODEL

Both Matty and Gordy said Hayne had proven a letdown to his Gold Coast teammates, especially the young players. Hindmarsh could only laugh from experience at one example.

Matty: “The most damning, the most handicapping thing for the Titans is that, when he arrived at the Titans, there’s so many of those young blokes - they would have been idolising him. he would have been their hero. And I’m sorry, the effort’s just not good enough.

Gordy: “He’d be one of those guys that you’d look at when they’re pulling up their socks and going, ‘I’m playing with Jarryd Hayne’. I would even think that. ‘I’m playing with Jarryd Hayne’. So when the ball goes to him, you’d be looking - and you don’t have to make a break every time and some days you do your job better than others - but you’d expect him to really rip in and have a go.”

Hindy: “You want to have a go. You don’t have to be a game-winner every game, you can have a bad game - it’s all right to have a bad game. But as long as you’re having a crack.”

(Later) Kent: “There are times when the Titans are playing football this year, they’re rucking out of the tough stuff, and he goes down and does up his boots.”

Hindy (laughing): “Yeah! I know. I’ve seen that.”

Loving these articles... finally punching through all the hype.

And to think there were a few poor judges here who wanted Hayne in the origin side, when he's not even top 50 material?

Jarryd Hayne ranks outside NRL’s top 50 in nearly all key attacking statistic categories

HERE is the proof Jarryd Hayne is not in the top 50 NRL players and has been a $1 million flop on the Gold Coast.

Hayne celebrated his one-year anniversary at the Titans this week and will play his 21st match for the club in Saturday’s clash against the Dragons at Kogarah.

The honeymoon period is long over for the “Hayne Plane” who has delivered little for the Titans since his high-profile move to the club after a brief dalliance in the NFL.

Hayne, 29, ranks outside the top 50 in nearly all key attacking statistic categories. He is even outside the top 100 in some.

The only category he gains a pass-mark in is tries scored with eight in 14 games this season ranking him 28th in the league.

Hayne, 29, is in the top five earners in the game with his salary, which rises to $1.2 million next year, putting him alongside the likes of Test stars Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith and Billy Slater.

Jarryd Hayne ranks outside the top 50 in nearly all key attacking statistic categories.
But his output on the field leaves a lot to be desired, with the Titans languishing in 14th spot on the ladder and battling to avoid the wooden spoon.

Hayne has only won four matches in his favoured No. 1 jersey for the Titans and has not got anywhere near the heights which saw him share the 2014 Dally M Medal with Thurston.

His signing put tremendous stress on the Gold Coast’s salary cap and former captain Nathan Friend said the club’s board should not have pushed for him.

“It spiralled out of control when they got Jarryd. We only won two games at the back end of last year going into the finals,” he said.

Jarryd Hayne has not hit his top form for the Titans.
“Before that we were playing for each other and everyone had each others’ backs. We did well.

“With the inclusion of Jarryd you lose three or four players. You are unable to retain players because you buy one person who you think can put bums on seats.

“On the other hand if you win matches, your team’s successful and plays for each other, you’re going to get support anyway.

“From a business point of view people just look at numbers instead of how the individual gels in the team.

“Some of those decisions should be left to football staff. Not business people. They’ve probably got that mixed up a little bit.”

Jarryd Hayne has only won four matches in his favoured No. 1 jersey for the Titans.
Hayne still has silky playmaking skills but he has only created five tries for the Titans this season, ranking him 51st in the NRL.

His eight line-breaks (57th) and six line-break assists (52nd) are well below what was expected and he is ranked 123rd for tackle busts (27).

Playing five games at centre this season has impacted on his creativity but his runs (avg. 10, 102nd) and run metres (avg. 94m, 135th) show he is not getting involved enough.

Former Maroons centre Justin Hodges lashed Hayne as selfish for his crucial play in last week’s 54-0 debacle against the Broncos where he kicked the ball dead on the first tackle.
