The salary cap is what supposedly makes things fair (notwithstanding the murky areas of TPAs and back ended agreements).

Would it be fair for the Titans to compete in the finals against other teams that have maxed out their salary cap, when they haven't because there is not enough talent to go around?

Massively overhyped?

He single handedly defeated the might of Qld. And has won two DallyMs whilst surrounded by the ploddiest Parra team.

Love him or hate him - and I'm no fan as he's a fruitloop imo - but when he's on he makes Greg Inglis look like Greg Eden.

One thing i hope the Tits dont do is make him captain...

They will be tempted, but it would be unnecessary in terms of Hayne-hype and would devalue the position in the longer run ("forget the guy that toils away, let's give the C to the guy wearing glitter")



Which is exactly what the GC need...

They already have a good team, they just need some hype and attention. Hayne may end up no more than a show-pony and still be worth it.
I think the titans have found a great captain in Ryan James.

They've built a team of mainly workers and grinders with a boom young half. Finding an experienced and classy player like hayne isna good fit

“I waited as long as I could,” said Hayne, who claimed that part of the Titans’ appeal was that the club is not a traditional rival of the Eels.

“I’ve been back from Fiji for over a month now and eveery week I’d ask my manager, ‘What’s Parra doing, where’s Parra’s offer?’

“There was nothing on the table. I know there was speculation last night that they’d come out and tabled an offer but none of that got brought to me formally.

"How can you go back when you haven't got an offer on the table?"

"The Parramatta Eels did communicate an offer to Jarryd Hayne's management in the past 48 hours.

"This offer was made after reviewing the consequences of the NRL Salary Cap decision and the importance of maintaining a strong roster for 2017 and 2018.

"While it was a substantial offer, we were advised by Jarryd's management that it was not comparable to the other proposals.

Which one is lying. If he just admitted that he took the best offer available he would probably earn less ire from Parra fans. Right now he's just insulting them.
Given the past 6 months I wouldn't believe a single syllable that came from any of Parramatta's employees.

Souths hate projection. When Inglis is on he makes Hayne look like Jared from Subway ads. When Slater was on he made them both look like anal cancer. This would be a fun game for 11 year old minds to play all day.
