No he won't. He is going to try it make it for the 2015 season. The try outs are after the NRL season begins.

He is 100% gone for next season. It's just an issue of if he'll be back in 2016 or not.

yeah i know, i dont think it well even last that long lol

They have gone 5 consecutive seasons without making the finals. It is hard to bet against them making it 6 in a row in 2015. When is the last time a club with financially stability struggled so much for so long?

Yes I know Souths went for 18 years without the finals from 1989 to 2007. And a lot of financial basketcases in the 90s were terrible.

But Parramatta is a big club with a lot of money in the salary cap era. It really is hard to fathom.

Now with Hayne on the way out you would think they're more likely to win a spoon than premiership in the foreseeable future. Who is to blame and how do they fix it?

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
I compared it in the Parra forum to trading in Black Caviar for a 3 legged horse.

I think one problem parra has had is that the dude revolves around Hayne, with him gone they will completely change their tactics, I think parra will be ok out if this

Parramatta will have some cap room with Hayne gone. I'd be targeting the Manly players looking to move on, Arthur has connections with the team, Stewart, Foran, Matai and Watmough as a group would be great value.

In the 90s the Eels turned the corner by recruiting 4 big names from the Bulldogs. History could repeat.

To put it in perspective the NFL is part of the reasons the yanks don't quite do as good as the Olympics. Take a te like Vernon Davis. He had a bench at college of like 220 kilos and a squat of 310 kilos. He run the 100 in 10.7 in high school.

At the combine he weighed 116 kilos and was able to do a 40 yard dash in 4.38s, 33 reps of a 100 kilo bench, 42 inch vertical leap and a 10ft standing jump.

Because the NFL is so specialised they produce fantastic athletes.

Yep exactly, didn't realise Vernon had a 42 vertical inch jump, that is better then randy moss I think?

Moss did run a 4.24 I think also

The more I think about it the more I think Hayne has been selfish the way he has gone about this.
If he has wanted to do it for so long and is "chasing a dream" why couldn't he have done it when his previous contract was up.
To also just up and leave one day leaving your club, your teammates and your fans high and dry is a low act.
On top of all that he didn't even notify the coach of the national team for which he was selected to play for next week.

Let Hayne go. He'll be missed at Parra for sure... but ot wasn't so long ago the code was supposedly in crisis when Folau and Hunt left. But another player in his mould will take his place. TBH I don't think he'll be anything more than a bench player. Keep him away from the PAckers.

Buffalo would be a perfect fit; he could go from one team with a culture of choking to another.

Do you know how slow a 10.7 in high school is on the world stage? Those sort of times would have seen him collect a silver at the bloody Australian national juniors this year against a pack of whiteys FFS, and that winner was a good 4-5 metres off the national record.

The yanks losing a runner like him the the NFL would have zero impact on their olympic hopes, given he wouldn't have had a hope of being near the Olympics to begin with :lol:

Davis is a 6 ft 3 TE, if he shed some of the load, he would run much faster. But he isn't the only one, there is many others that couls so well at other events.

Last time I looked the yanks were on top of the table at the Olympics and by a very healthy margin.
