Hayne signs with Gold Coast

[Aus_Dog]

Is that you Toddy?

So you have nothing?

 

[ek999]

No one here knows what is required for registration to play in the NRL competition or to be able to sign a playing contract with an NRL club. The NRL is a professional competition and Expecting it to be the same as State Comps is a mindset stuck 50 years in the past (a time period where posters such as ECT are no doubt stuck).

Those policies are there to keep everything consistent and easy to manage without needing to come up with a seperate policy for each and every competition that the ARLC and its subsidiaries run. However not all of those policy will be applied to the NRL

Link a copy of all the agreements and policies that cover the NRL in full showing that the clearance policy applies to the NRL competition and I will believe you. Until then I will take the word of the ARLC (and ECT's best mate Toddy) that this is in line with competition rules. The fact that not a single club has complained publicly or through anonymous comment in the media is also telling

but ECT cares so much, it must be done his way or the game (and possibly the world) will end

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So you have nothing?

No. You're the one who has nothing.

Your line is Toddy said it's ok, so it's ok.

That is all.

So the policies are there to be consistent....except when they're not. Brilliant.

And you have made up this conjecture about there being a separate, unknown rule that only applies to the NRL and yet apparently it's up to me to prove it doesn't exist. How about you prove that it does seeing as it's your claim.

 

[Aus_Dog]

No. You're the one who has nothing.

Your line is Toddy said it's ok, so it's ok.

That is all.

and your line is that it must be done your way or else.

No one gives a s**t about your way

 

[unforgiven]

I hate to say this but ECT is right.

You better tell the NRL then, I am sure they will reverse everything on ECT's say so

Don't you get it, it's about following the rules.

The thing is, I couldn't care less about Hayne playing for the Titans. In fact I am all for it if it helps them do well, although I'm not sure it will help on the field. But this manipulation of the rules, or them ignoring the rules to make it happen, is extraordinary.

Who f**king cares? F**k me even the Eels don't care. You're the only one who gives a s**t about this piddly little rule that means SFA in the larger scheme of things

 

[East Coast Tiger]

It doesn't mean SFA in the scheme of things. It means the clearance system has been ignored and a precedent has been set.

But even if you think it's a minor rule, and it is, it's still something people should be worried about. The NRL has apparently chosen to:

1 ignore their own rule
2 make up some bullshit to justify it
And
3 do so to benefit a club they own

To me that's pretty dodgy.

 

[Aus_Dog]

No one but you cares, I think that says enough about the argument

 

[Danish]

Did Hayne submit his permission slip from his mum to be allowed to play as well?

One hopes the Titans also supplied him with his pair of shorts and socks, lest he has to play in his old eels ones.

And when the half time siren goes after 35 mins they better have some orange wedges sliced and prepared

What other amateur rules from other league comps that have nothing to do with the NRL should we apply?

 

[BM1979]

I think it's a valid argument TBH. If the rules have been ignored then it does set a pretty big precedent that has not been allowed before .

I don't care it has been ignored but I want to know the actual rule because according to anything I can find he does appear to be correct.

I don't know. Perhaps you should ask the NRL who wrote the National Clearance and Permits Policy. But then again, that's not an "amateur rule". It's the NATIONAL policy.

Is anything going to change? Is he suddenly not going to be a Titan now?

It doesn't matter, even if the rule is there, it's not worth enforcing to prevent him coming back to the game.

I would be more livid if they lost Hayne to another sport by invoking this stupid piddly little "rule"

It is the NRL policy though. It is not amateurish , it is the policy they themselves have written. To say it should not be applied when as far as we are concerned there is no other document to go by is stupid

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Jarred Hayne might've been frustrated earlier in not being offered a contract by his former club but his official media announcement where he seemed "disappointed" (despite being the highest paid NRL player) was a front to further highlight that it was Eels at fault and to avoid any backlash from his fans.

Good on him I say. The Eels arent in contention (I dont think) and the Titans are. Also the Titans are looking good at the moment and Hayne is the icing on the cake.

If there were any rules being broken the Eels would be jumping up and down over it. If they had an opportunity to get one back on the NRL they would take it. Or one of the clubs fighting for 7th/8th spot would bring it up. Then there's the media who would take a story like that and plaster it on the front page.

If anything dodgy were going on it would be made into the big deal you think it is. Everyone loves a scandal.

Meh I would not care if we lost Hayne TBH or anyone else. I am ok with it as long as the next time it happens they are consistent with the ruling.
