Jarryd has been revealed to account for $500K of that mystery $3mil over 4 years we were meant to have breached the cap by... :thumn.

Jarryd Hayne was the beneficiary of secret payments orchestrated by the Parramatta Eels, all hidden from the NRL

EXCLUSIVE Phil Rothfield and Nick TabakoffThe Daily Telegraph


THE Parramatta Eels secretly arranged almost $500,000 in deals for failed NFL *convert Jarryd Hayne since 2013, according to new *revelations in an NRL breach notice against the club.


Official documents and boardroom minutes show a trail of salary cap discrepancies in the star full-back’s third party deals with the club from 2013 to 2015, cash payments, first class overseas travel and car expenses *adding up to $465,000 — all hidden from the NRL.



The revelations follow a two-month NRL forensic audit that was prompted by a Daily Telegraph series of investigations that first established systematic cheating of the salary cap at the club.


Official documents and board room minutes show Hayne was secretly paid $465,000 which was officially recorded on a heads of agreement letter but never reported in the salary cap.


Legitimate third-party payments to players must be done on an arm’s length basis from the club. It is a breach of the salary cap rules if a club makes a payment on behalf of third parties.


There are no suggestions Hayne was aware his payments were contrary to NRL rules or that Hayne has done anything wrong.


The documents show Hayne was guaranteed $15,000 in 2013, $225,000 in 2014 and $225,000 in 2015. Hayne announced his NRL retirement to pursue an NFL career in October, 2014.


The money was paid in various ways but a secret *recording from Parramatta board minutes obtained by the integrity unit reveal he did not fulfil some sponsorship agreements and failed to turn up to some functions that were part of his deals.


Also, a car payment of $15,000 was made in 2014.


There was another $15,000 in travel expenses to Seattle where Hayne flew — in first class — that was paid for by the club but not *disclosed in the salary cap.


In December 2014, Parramatta Leagues Club transferred Hayne $52,000 — $26,000 of that amount to his manager Wayne Beavis and the other half to a company called JH Promotion.

The breach notice shows another six players, including Tim Mannah, Fui-Fui Moimoi and Chris Sandow, had third party deals not declared. There is no suggestion these players were aware their deals breached the rules or have done anything wrong.

Some funny sportswriter tweets about Hayne's departure from NFL...

Jarryd Hayne retired. I guess the 9ers season just went down the tubes. Kidding. Most over-hyped non-contributor in a long time.

Jarryd Hayne "retiring" from the NFL is like me quitting McDonald's when they gradually stopped giving me shifts after my 18th birthday

@ButcherBoy415 @BASportsGuy Jarryd Hayne retired from NFL today with a 384-word statement. He played 88 snaps in his career.

Statement from World Rugby

World Rugby notes the announcement that Jarryd Hayne wishes to pursue new sporting challenges with the Fiji rugby sevens team and has moved to address speculation regarding the player’s availability under Regulation 21 to play sevens.

World Rugby is committed to the highest-possible anti-doping standards. The WADA-compliant World Rugby Regulation 21 mirrors the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Code and the WADA International Standard for Testing and Investigations. It does not require a player to be included in a testing pool for a defined period of time prior to selection if they are being selected for international competition for the first time. This position is entirely consistent with World Rugby’s approach to other cross-over athletes, including other ex-NFL athletes coming into rugby.

Therefore, Hayne would be eligible for the London round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series subject to all other regulatory and registration matters being met. He would also be immediately included in World Rugby’s pre-Rio 2016 risk-based testing programme, which since January 2016 has included a comprehensive programme of targeted in and out of competition blood and urine testing on players likely to compete in Rio. The pre-Games programme also includes regular additional screening for substances such as ESAs and human growth hormone, and both steroidal and haematological athlete biological profiling.

Fiji 7s Coach Ben Ryan met with Jarryd Hayne during the Superbowl week this year. That's where the seeds were sown.

I think the best part of the Hayne story is he tried.Shame he left but was pretty cool. I mean in his head he may of just wanted a break from not only NRL but living in Australia

I don't doubt his motives for trying out a career in the NFL, for someone of his caliber, that's the next highest stage for him. Similar to a good TV actor wanting to make the jump to movies. (I guess, not my best analogy, but there it is anyway..)

Good for him for having a crack, but he didn't need to use the "chase my dream (TM)" tag line again for the rugby thing. Not necessary, it still irks me.

Yeah, it comes across as cheap after using the line for the NFL. He could have worded it as simply as 'an amazing opportunity to go to the Olympics came up' and it comes across better.

Exactly. He doesn't really need to justify the move.

He could have just said, "hey, I wanna try and get myself an olympic medal, peace out bitches" and that would be fine.

Needs a better publicity manager. Someone should have said to him don't use its my life long dream again it will sound like bullshit. However I believe it probably was a dream of his when he was younger. My life long dream is to win a gold medal in lawn bowls at the commonwealth games and I don't even play the game but I might take it up one day. Can't be that f*cken hard

Nah, I think his publicity manager just earned a raise!
The whole world is talking about him !

This morning on local radio they led the Sports news with "there's a chance the Hayne Plane could land on the Gold Coast & join the Titans after Rio" Including an invitation from Matt Rogers to give him a guided tour of the facilities. Followed up by a match report on their win over the Roosters.

Talk about whipping up a media frenzy !

Surely he would still have created a media storm without saying it was his life long dream.

Jarryd Hayne’s NFL retirement may force Fox Sports News to do some journalism
"We're f**ked. We don't know what to do." said one staffer.

FORMER SAN FRANSISCO 49ERS punt returner Jarryd Hayne has walked away from the game after a season with the gridiron team to chase another lifelong dream.

His departure has left fans and sporting commentators shellshocked, but Hayne says the Olympic Games in Rio are calling his name.

He is set to play for Fiji in the augural Rugby Sevens competition, should he make the team.

However, the sporting human headline’s retirement from the NFL may force Fox Sports News to do some actual sports journalism, rather than strip and publish video each time the 28-year-old touched the pigskin.

“It’s truly is a terrible time to work for Fox Sports News,” said one concerned staff member.

“Without Jarryd, we don’t really have much to report on? I mean there’s cricket on in the Northern Hemisphere and everybody is kinda over the whole Parramatta debacle,”

“The social media team are really sweating it, there’re rumours going around that at least half of them will be back waiting tables and pouring beers by Friday.” she said.

Lashing out today at the former Eels fullback, another disgruntled Fox Sports News content writer called the retirement news “selfish” and “self-indulgent” – making reference to the fact that Hayne didn’t consider people like him when he decided to pull up stumps.

He’s not alone, with hundreds of other sports-based social media pundits now facing an uncertain future with the entire industry now left on a knife edge.

“Jarryd Hayne made my job easy,” he said via Facebook.

“Now that he’s not going to be around anymore, I might actually have to start doing something, like pick up the phone and attend real life press conferences. I don’t know how to do that. The Telegraph is going to bury us now, they know how to report on mundane sporting news and topple prime ministers,”

“We’re f**ked.”
