Hayne signs with Gold Coast

[The Charlatan]

He'll be great for the Titans. They've got the core of a great young side and are competing well. Hayne will go there without the pressure of being required to perform like he did at Parra.

Feel for Parra fans also, it's been a f**king shit of a year for them, this is the icing on the cake.

 

[chigurh]

This cannot be - Craig Johnston was adamant Hayne would only return to Parra.

 

[Glenn]

Judas Mk II , hopefully the career path follows the same downward trajectory as Judas Mk I

 

[TheFrog]

If he helps them win most weeks it will help sell even more

That's a big if. Hayne had a 45% winning ratio in his 176 games at Parramatta, making the finals in 3 from 9 years he was there, two of those in 8th position. Of course they won back to back spoons with him as well.

One of the greatest betrayals

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Why risk it GC, build the hype for 8 months, and start with 20k members come march,

Dumb to have an anti climax this week, and isk your finals tilt with an underdone player

 

[Snappy]

Exactly Hayne would have been a perfect fit for Newcastle. Good area good support...

So you wouldnt be claiming NRL conspiracy if he signed with the Knights ?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Haynetrain gonna put the Titans forum on the map baby

Talk Jonathon Thusrton he knows about NRL conspiracies...You would think that the year that the Newcastle Knights have had this year it would have been good for the NRL to get Jarrod at Newcastle, it's not conspiracy it makes perfect sense.

Agreed

 

[flash]

Well he did have a lifetime NRL contract with blue and gold (yellow)

 

[moffla]

This will work well for the Titans I think - but do not play him this year. Would be incredibly unfair on the players who is made to make way after busting their ass with the side all season to put them in the finals hunt.

What path would that be? Leaving a basketcase westie club to win individual honours and premierships in both England and Australia and be widely regarded as the best centre in the game?

 

[Rebound]

Let's be honest why would be want to return to Parra given the turmoil they are in thanks to their axed board? Fan's shouldn't be upset with Hayne but at their club, its the reason they lost Peats too and their Top 8 hopes.

Also a precedent the game doesn't need. Next we'll have a club signing SBW for the Grand Final.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Just more clickbait

[God-King Dean]

Big club

 

[adamkungl]

How would Titans sell papers if it wasn't for Parra? Biggest Club.

 

[thorson1987]

A team controlled by the NRL and you don't see anything wrong with that God King...

By the rules he would have been allowed to play this year no matter who he signed for.

Has nothing to do with who owns what club.
