Whilst Hayne hasn't been in career best form people are forgetting guys like Ryan James who killed it last year (even talked about possibly playing origin) has been quiet this year. Luke Douglas was very good as well but he left end of 2016. Peats was a massive signing last year and helped them a lot make the semis. He has been down a bit mid origin onwards.

Zeb Taia and Chris McQueen were guns for them last year. Zeb has since left and McQueen injured

I think overall, you cant blame them under performing on Hayne alone, which seems to be a lot of the talk.

People are also forgetting there is a lot of talk that Ash Taylor has a big problem with Henry as well. But the easy target is the bloke that already cops all the shit, and headlines about the tall poppies get the most clicks.

Anyway I'm sure this will get me labelled an apologist or some such tripe by our resident jilted lover and general reason for avoiding this thread....

Legend lashes Jarryd Hayne for Gold Coast form
August 14, 20178:29pm

NRL legend Peter Sterling has lashed out at Gold Coast Titans’ marquee Jarryd Hayne, saying he has failed to live up to expectations at the South East Queensland club.

Hayne is currently on a $1.2 million deal with the Titans’, and Sterling says he has not been playing anywhere near that value.

The former Parramatta Eels premiership winner says when compared to other fullbacks in the NRL competition, Hayne has come up short in his time with the Gold Coast.

“Firstly, Jarryd Hayne has been particularly disappointing this season,” Sterling told Triple M’s Deadset Legends.

“If I’m paying a player that money, that comes with certain expectations. When you look at Jarryd and that wage, I need him to be in the game.

“I need him to be involved as much as possible and to have a big influence in the game. Because the top number ones in the competition, I’m talking Billy Slater, James Tedesco, Tom Trbojevic, Darius Boyd — they are trying to get in there and win the game for their team.

“It’s effort on effort, their body language is always really positive and that’s infectious among the team — I haven’t seen that from Jarryd this year.”

Ironically it was Sterling who selected Hayne for New South Wales this season, in his role as adviser to Blues’ coach Laurie Daley.

But, Sterling admitted he is unsure whether Hayne is physically able to deliver on the high expectations placed on a player of his calibre.

A representative star and a two-time Dally M winner, Hayne is often criticised for his inconsistency. But Sterling says it may be time to consider the fact Hayne will never return to his game breaking standard.

“I don’t know whether Jarryd is the player that he once was,” Sterling said.

“It’s been a long time since he’s strung together any decent games in a row in the National Rugby League. So maybe our expectation is not going to be met.

“But on that wage I really need to have seen a whole lot more. So if I’m the coach, I’m put out by that type of player.”

The Titans announced on Monday evening that both Jarryd Hayne and Neil Henry are safe, for now, delaying a decision on their future until next week.

But Sterling says the only reason Hayne will not be cut loose is his high priced salary.

“Why would you keep him on?,” Sterling said. “That will be the big stumbling block if it was to be that Jarryd Hayne wasn’t with the Gold Coast Titans next year.

“Firstly there aren’t many clubs I think in a position to take him and at this late stage, it would be very difficult for him to find a club.”

The former Parramatta Eels captain said he had hoped the Titans would make a speedy decision on the Hayne-Henry dispute, but implored them to take the time needed to make the correct move, given the tumultuous time the club has already faced in recent years.

“I think we all applauded the fact that it would be dealt with immediately,” Sterling said.

“And now after four hours to come out and say there’s no resolution for at least another week.

“It’s important that they come up with the right decision for the Gold Coast Titans. If it take a week then so be it.”

Honestly, Hayne aside, if the Titans sack their coach over a player, they will have a really hard time getting another quality coach to come on board.

Sacking Henry sends exactly this message "If you are the coach and you have a problem with even one of our players, pack your bags because they are more important to us than you are."

As soon as they send that message, no decent coach is going to want to go there. They will be stuck with second and third rate coaches for years and years.

Parramatta rule out making a move for ex-Eel Jarryd Hayne should he leave Gold Coast

MOVE along Jarryd, there’s nothing to see here.

Parramatta have privately and publicly expressed a lack of interest in their fast-improving club signing ex-club champion Jarryd Hayne.

Hayne’s future remains murky after a crisis meeting with club management over a feud with Gold Coast coach Neil Henry.

It appears unlikely both would remain at the Titans next season.

Parramatta though may not be an option should Hayne seek and secure a release for 2018.

Eels players remember Hayne having a dig at their club after signing with Gold Coast.

And players also appear to support incumbent club fullbacks Bevan French and Clint Gutherson.

Hayne though still remains friends with a number of Parramatta players, including Corey Norman and Tim Mannah.

Ironically, Parramatta play Hayne’s Titans this Thursday night at ANZ Stadium.

Norman was reluctant to fully endorse a return to Parramatta, saying:

“I am happy with the team we have here, I’m focused on the team we have here.

“We’ve got plenty of good players. We will worry about the team we have here.

“I think that (Hayne returning) is long gone now. He has made his decision.

“If it happened, that would be for Brad (Arthur) and the board. It is what it is, he’s at the Titans.

“I don’t read too much into it. That’s their drama, of whatever it is. I haven’t heard much about it.”

Asked about Hayne’s personality, Norman said: “He was fine here, that’s all I can say.”

As he walked away from the media pack, Norman said: “Do you want Haynesy back here? Do you, or what?”

Hayne was with the Eels from 2006 to 2014.
Club officials are aware of Hayne’s price tag and what some claim is his “difficult” personality.

No doubt Parramatta would still sign him at the right price but the club wouldn’t be chasing him too vigorously.

“If it was something the club was interested in, they could pursue it,” said Eels hooker Cameron King. “Or even if he wants to come back.

“I’m not too sure where the club is, roster-wise. We’ve got Bevan there, who has come on in leaps and bounds over the last 12 to 18 months.

“Bevan is a great long-term prospect for the club.

“’Gutho’ was doing a job there for us as well. We’ve got a fair bit of depth here.”

Parramatta’s prodigal son has made a Titanic mess of things and won’t be welcomed back

Michael Chammas

So let's get this straight. Jarryd Hayne leaves Parramatta to chase his American dream but says if he ever returns to the NRL, it will only be to the Eels.

He then breaks that promise and signs with the Titans, despite Parramatta offering him a contract that, in hindsight, looks generous.

Now things have gone sour on the Gold Coast and Parramatta are supposed to welcome him back with open arms? Not even in Hayne's charmed world does that make sense. Sure, the romantics want to see the prodigal son return home, but that ship has sailed. Parramatta are not the club they were when Hayne left.

Hayne was given his chance to prove that Parra mattered a year ago, but the club had the door slammed in their face.

We've heard the whispers since. Fairfax Media reported earlier in the year that Hayne had put out the feelers about returning to the Eels when he was weighing up whether to take up the $1.2million option to stay on the Gold Coast.

At the right price and if Hayne was coming over with the right mindset, the Eels would have contemplated it. But not now.

As the Titans are now realising, there's a circus that comes with Hayne's signature. It can be fun at first, but how many times can you watch the same clown routine without growing bored?

Parramatta are a club yearning for success. They don't need negative headlines – they've had enough of them in the past few seasons to last a lifetime.

Now, Corey Norman would have been told what to say to reporters when he fronted to fulfil his media commitments on Monday.

Asked about the possibility of Hayne returning to the club, Norman said, "I'm happy with the team we've got here and I'm focused on the team we've got here".

Hooker Cameron King followed the party line: "I think Bevan [French] is doing a pretty good job [at fullback] for us, so that's all I'll say about that".

You can't help but think those comments are a general reflection of Hayne's current standing at the Eels, regardless of how much they like him as a bloke.

If you'd asked the players the same question 12 months ago, the answers would have been different. In fact, they were.

"That would be massive if Haynesy comes back," Clint Gutherson said last year. There was no such excitement this time around.

When Ivan Cleary took over at Wests Tigers earlier this year, he said his coaching philosophy was that "the star of the team is the team".

That's the mentality Brad Arthur coaches with at the Eels. That is why when Gutherson, their best player this season, was ruled out through injury, the Eels were able to pick themselves up and continue their winning ways.

This isn't personal. Arthur probably has a better relationship with Hayne than any of the coaches who have tried to crack the enigma that is J. Hayne. But Arthur has put too much into rebuilding this team to see it all go to waste for the sake of writing Hayne's happily ever-after.

Hayne should be remembered as one of the most brilliant footballers to lace on a boot in this country. Truth is, the longer the circus continues the less likely he will be remembered for his football at all

Nobody likes to see a slow motion train wreck. He was well on track to become an immortal not too long ago.

Frequent Flyer Jarryd Hayne Should Have Stuck To Catching The Bus

The plane! The plane! The first image is of Jarryd Hayne with energetic feet, true story, blood on his grazed elbows, sweat on a crimson face, grunting and groaning with effort while he chased bullet passes from Colin Kaepernick during the training drills at Levi’s Stadium he needed to nail to get a contract with the San Francisco 49ers. He was a driven and determined individual. It was inspirational stuff. “Whatever it takes,” he barked at 49ers staff. American hustle.

The plane! The plane! The second image is of Hayne before the Gold Coast Titans’ match against the Brisbane Broncos in round 22. He was dawdling around Cbus Super Stadium with his backside hanging out the back of his shorts, with his mouth shut as if he was at a dinner party he never wanted to go to — but now he was stuck at the table. When he dropped a ball during the slow-motion runs before kickoff, he shrugged, sniffed and walked away. It was deflating stuff. Whatever it would take for the Titans, Hayne had no interest in doing it. The bludger. One of the best stories in Australian sport was 10 days from becoming one of the worst.

Or so we thought until yesterday’s emergency talks between Hayne, coach Neil Henry and Titans CEO Graham Annesley led to an announcement of more emergency talks before the emergency is resolved at a later date.

Hayne would want to have a blinder against Parramatta on Thursday night — assuming Henry doesn’t take Kevin Campion’s advice to dump him to reserve grade. Gold Coast board members spent four hours discussing the Hayne-Henry feud after the under-siege player and his under-siege coach had been asked to explain themselves to the under-siege hierarchy. You expected Henry and Neil to walk out and quote The Two Ronnies: “Well, it’s goodnight from me and it’s goodnight from him.” But Annesley and chairwoman Rebecca Frizelle emerged to announce that there was nothing to announce. The Titans made the decision to make no decision. “This is a really, really complex issue,” Annesley said.

The plane! The plane! His stint on Fantasy Island is over. No more big bucks can be guaranteed. No more NRL club. No World Cup selection. Potentially, nothing. It’s sad. It’s a reminder that no athlete can take his position for granted. Opportunities are vanishing for Hayne. The pain, the pain. Two years ago, he was on a bus. The bus was driving him down the Great America Parkway. He was the biggest sports yarn in America. He was a 49er. He captured the imagination of the Australian public for taking on a seemingly impossible challenge, for working his fingers to the bone, for respecting his employers, for reading the playbook morning and noon and night, for following coach Jim Tomsula’s instructions, for dotting all his Is, for crossing all his Ts, for doing everything that was asked of him to achieve something extraordinary.

Those early days and nights at Santa Clara were magic but then Hayne quit the NFL and it was the beginning of the end.

The pain, the pain. Rugby Sevens smelled like a disaster from the beginning because he was doing it for the wrong reasons. It became a disaster. His return to the NRL smelled like another disaster from the beginning he was going back to a partner he had already decided he could live without.

It might have been different at the Parramatta Eels but it was no secret he went to the Titans as a last resort. Because the coin was good. Disaster. Hayne is to blame. Henry is to blame, too. Man management requires the management of all types of men.

The plane! The plane! He could have made it work at the Titans. He just had to spill his blood and sweat like he did at the 49ers. Titans training will be interesting this week. Tell Jarryd that Neil said to tell him he’s playing fullback. Tell Neil that Jarryd said OK.

Hayne should have stayed on the bus at Santa Clara. He should have stayed on the Great America Parkway. That was the long-term dream. That was what his heart was set on. Sport spits out the quitters. What a fall from grace. What damage is being done to his legacy. The stain, the stain.

Just saying that he had the potential to have dominated 2011 through 2019 and could easily have been the best player in the comp.

I don't think that Corey Norman or Cameron King are on our recruitment committee... just sayin.
