Hayne to the NFL???

[Bronco18]

I knew Hayne would do this ages ago,this is no surprise

Are you gonna text him good luck?

Who am I kidding, you'll probably have to tell him goodbye in person. Give him a kiss for me hey.

On the flip side of this I'm surprised the NRL doesn't hold try out camps at universities in the states. Less than 5% of uni players make it to the NFL and that is a massive athletic talent pool of players with build and skills suitable for RL that stop playing am football in their early twenties.

 

[carcharias]

If he does make it , it will be the biggest promo for the NRL ever.

Only problem is the seppo commentators will probably call him the Ossie rugby player.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Haha i just heard we signed Reece Robinson(Raiders fans will know what i think of this guy)

Haha this day keeps getting better and better

 

[franklin2323]

Sorry Hayne, I hope you fail.

If Hayne succeeds, what's to stop the next Hayne/Inglis chasing big money in the NFL? The NRL, even with exemptions, can't compete with NFL money.

Only Hayne and GI are the only 2 with even close to the skills to make it. Even then it's way down the roster. It's no threat great exposure for RL though

Yep, ive been saying this for years.

 

[Parramatta1947]

Physically Hayne will be OK - finding a position will be difficulty

But understanding play calls and the playbook of the team alone will be quite a challenge

Yeah but his Bio will say Parramatta Eels. That's the main thing

Haha i just heard we signed Reece Robinson(Raiders fans will know what i think of this guy)

Haha this day keeps getting better and better

thats f**ked
i can not imagine trading Hayne for Robinson. Horrendous

Ive ridden the Reece Robinson experience, and i wouldnt wish it on anyone. Even Parra fans

You spelled 'Plodinson' wrong

 

[franklin2323]

When the USARL/AMNRL get their shit together. It can happen until then no chance

Yes but I don't want to lose more GI's and Hayne's down the track.

He won't make it - he will be invited to a training camp and will be cut in August. 12 months later, he will be back.

It is good he is following his dream but he has left us in the lurch big time.

A cynics view:

He spends 12 months holidaying in the US and then comes back to league with the help of the NRL's short sighted discretionary powers to earn himself a nice big bonus payment. Managers would have been planning something like this as soon as the NRL announced the discretionary power rubbish, Hayne won't be the last to try it.

Laurie Daley and a lot of NSW fans just had a heart attack.

 

[God-King Dean]

Oh god, you know what the funniest possible outcome out of this could be?

Hayne goes away for a couple of years. In that time, Parra use up their cap, & then can't afford the 1mill to sign him. Then he signs elsewhere..... at the Bulldogs.

Even Parra fans would have a laugh, whilst they are tying the knot.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

:lol: Reece Robinson Plane:lol:

got to keep the cap room open for when hayne comes back.

Its being called proactive and the NRL have never been that.

 

[Card Shark]

He will not be a runningback

He might come runningback

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

It's not yawnion or AFL, so good luck to the merkin plus it's a game I don't mind watching. Hope he kills it too.
