Hayne signs with Gold Coast

[Snappy]

For him to play this season the NRL would have to register a contract for him for this season. His market value is about 1.2 mil per season according to all reports. So if he is to play this season it should be for a 1.2 mil contract, anything less and the NRL shouldn't register it.

If the Titans can fit that into this year's salary cap then they absolutely should be able to lodge such a contract and play him, and the story should be how great the Titans have been going while being so far under the salary cap.

If his value is 1.2 per year, and he signs for the the rest of this year (3 months) than he'd go under the cap this year for 300k

So reckons eels never offered him anything

 

[Brutus]

He's gonna cry because no Parra.

Will his heart be in it.

That would be a ridiculous precedent to allow.

Nice consolation prize for the Titans after missing out on the great Lou Goodwin

haha
my son loved this show
geeze I found it spew worthy ....last night was by far the worst.

 

[Burns]

This is awkward to watch. "Parra didn't make offer, I want to be there - But now I'm with the Titans?

 

[ACTPanthers]

Sounds like he's going to the dentist...

 

[roboshark]

Yep seems like 2nd best. Wonder what annesley is thinking

 

[Burns]

Hayne for Fiji or Australia I wonder?

I actually enjoyed the show but last night was shockingly bad

do you think all mid season transfers get paid full season salary ?

 

[adamkungl]

If you think Hayne will be a bad thing for the Titans.. you are taking the piss. This puts them straight into premiership calculations for the next 2.5 years.
Improves their brand, improves their crowds, gets them new fans, insantly.
Improves their signing power.

Lose the tall poppy syndrome. Successful sides have superstars.

Never any luck for the Warriors, they have to bring in a superstar right before a vital game...

 

[Generalzod]

I just find it strange that you complained about the him signing an NRL owned club, but then said you'd be cool with him signing with the Knights. Double standards.

Listen snappy no other team gets more favours than the Broncos....All i said it would been a good idea that Newcastle would have his signature considering how Newcastle are performing this year.

He's signing today. Is he really going to get match fit, learn the team structure, and integrate into the team to the level required in less than 4 days? After being out of the game for 2 years?

He might do something individually brilliant and that's a concern, but the Warriors just need to go about their business. Let the Titans worry about the distractions.

A pro rata amount for the total yearly contract yes (1.2 million - 30 possible rounds/weeks = $40,00 per game. 9 more possible games/weeks. So a total of $360,00 towards the Titans cap is reasonable).

The total 1.2 mill towards the Titans cap, what a ridiculous, moronic sentiment.

 

[_Johnsy]

That would be a ridiculous precedent to allow.

No thinking the complete 1.2 mill should go towards their cap is a ridiculous precedent to follow. You can't see the flaw with this premise.

Neil Henry could be Tony Abbot's brother.

do you think all mid season transfers get paid full season salary ?

No, but it's seat shuffling, something out for something in. It's not manipulating the cap to spend a lesser portion of it at the start of the season and then a more major portion of it at the back end.

After you complained about the Titans being NRL owned. You know the Knights are owned by the NRL too right ?

The thing is... NRL ownership has nothing to do with this signing.
