I think he's always been a scumbag, but that's not against the law.
things I've hea9rd about Brad Arthur from credible sources - especially as a younger fella. Now that is a fella that has always been a scu9mbag since high school. Noth9ing necessarily against the law mind you. At least back then now it might be.

I'm sure there's a lot about you and anyone else on here that could be filed under the 'scumbag' tag.

Can we stick to the provable facts about BA and stop the rumours crap. Most are started by nuffies with absolutely no idea other than to make themselves look informed or even relevant.

Aged 37, weighs 121kg... wants to get down to 110kgs and play tests for Fiji at season's end, and then is keen on coaching! If that all comes true, this thread title might need to become even longer.

A few quotes for the lols...

“I’d have games and I’d look around thinking to myself, I would pay for this experience. How much would you pay to sit on the sideline at an NFL game, holding a helmet? I got paid to do that.”
- a neat summation of his NFL "dream".

“I wanted to get back to Parra and coach and go down that route, but it wasn’t to be,” Hayne said.
- thank you Mr Ryles for saying no.

"And my greatest asset was the mental side of my game. When I was on, I was on. When I was off, I was off, but I knew I was off."
- there's more to the mental side of the game Jarryd, than just knowing when you're not adequately putting in.

I'd love to see him get into shape and play some good footy even if it's in reserve grade. First grade recall would be epic but very unlikely
Despite what has happened in the past still one of my favourite eels players of all time.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.....let's leave it at that
Agreed. First grade seems unlikely but he could for example have a few years in the Fiji team or go and dominate super league. His kicking and ball skills alone could be a big asset.

Jarryd's footy smarts were are large part of why he was so brilliant.
I don't think that's the 'mental side of [the] game' he was talking about when he discussed being 'on' or 'off'. Yes he had good instincts, but the thing he was talking about was fluctuations in confidence and drive, which to me describes Hayne's weakness.

Agree. But Hayne was putting his admittance and awareness of those mental fluctuations down as a strength - Jarryd should just stop speaking, and let his form for Wenty do the talking.

Hayne's probably only weakness was that he was not a good leader in the modern sports sense (as in the nerd Cooper Cronk/Justin Langer type that I want to bitch slap like Simon Katich would), which when you are the best player on the team by miles, is a SIGNIFICANT negative for a team.
