If sign Hayne may as well cull Bevan - Maybe Dogs can sign him up.
Why? Surely an U20s player who signed couple of years back isn't on more than minimal amount? And it's not like Hayne stands completely in front of French. French could play wing, Hayne could play centre, French could spend another season playing NSW Cup thus not drastically increasing his value the year before his contract is up EDIT: except he's signed through 2018

We need to keep French when Semi leaves.

There will be big demands for Semi. Teams will offer him to play in other positions to attract him.

Here's hoping some WWE in there followed by an appearance in Fast and Furious 15 as the Rock's long lost brother

They both signed through 2018 and at the moment we have 2 players signed for 2019 plus so far Hayne is only going to Rio, we've got some wiggle room if and when it comes to re-signing Semi/French

According to lawyers with far greater knowledge of the issue than Richard Ings – because they deal with player eligibility on a daily basis – Hayne can agree to be placed in a "testing pool" that would see him subjected to stringent testing in the lead-up to the Olympics.
Beavis says Fijian Rugby had told him Hayne had been "cleared" to play in the Olympics but at the time of writing was seeking clarification from the governing body.

Wayne Beavis on 2SM. been talking to Fiji for 2 weeks. He was sweet in NFL. Wanted another challenge. Not about the money, Open to ideas after Olympics has been assured he will be in squad with no problems.

Richard Ings is the bloke who trumpeted the headline that the peptides affair was the darkest day in Australian sport.

You'll forgive me if I don't rush to believe his story.

Bevan is not big enough for wing.Would offer nothing.Guys have winged Gordons to small for wing.

If you signed Hayne it would be for 2-3 years. Bevan turns 21 before next season kicks off. Are you sure he is going to wait for first grade if good enough till he is 23/24?

Send him to the dogs and let them reap what we sowed.

Bevan would not be on MIN. He would of signed a contract where if made first grade he gets this much etc.... From a young age players of BEVANS quality would attract interest. Their managers do not sign them on MIN wage.

Here's how I think it went..

Hayne gets wind that he's slipping down the roster sheet, may get cut at the next cut.

Gets Beavis to call Fiji to see if a 7's spot would be possible, as an olympic medal would be cool. Beavis gets the high sign from Fiji that they'd give Hayne a spot if he was willing

Hayne talks to Chip Kelly, asks if he's going to be cut, Kelly says yeah, probs...

Hayne announces "retirement" to play 7's for Fiji in a "Bold move to chase his dream".

Yeah that's what I thought, Mabe it got too hard with a new coach. If he comes back to the eels I hope does not walk out again looking for a new challenge. :lol:

The next lot of cuts are September. They are only in the voluntary part of the training schedule.

They just cut the squad to 90 after the draft, if he had no shot he would have been gone already.

It all seems weird to me too but to assume he was told in May that he won't make it in September seems strange.

I'd love us to sign Hayne just to piss Bart/Phantom off........
Can't speak for Bart, but it wouldn't piss me off.

If the timing and cap space aligns - keep De Gois/Pritchard as low cost #9 options, and no need to re-sign Gordon - then I say lets do it! If he comes back having failed at two of his "dreams"/new challenges and a couple of years out of the game, then he should come relatively cheap....

Just happy today that I was proved correct in saying that Hayne would go from NFL to Union ;-).
