Growing up in an era when Parra had legends like Pricey, Sterlo, Mick Cronin, just to name a few, the Eels was my 2nd team.
Hayne has so much raw talent & could have been one of the best players ever to lace up a footy boot had he lived up to his full potential.
Haynes biggest hindrance is a piss-poor attitude. He's like a pampered poodle who has been coddled all his life simply because he was heads above all the others, talent wise, from a young age. He was no-doubt the high school footy star who could do no wrong (Nearly every school has one) where he was never held accountable for his actions. (Remember when he lost us a SOO game by gifting a try by giving them the ball, where his mummy hit the headlines defending him? Ugh)
That's the impression I get.
It's no secret that he's the laziest of trainers. One can only imagine how that affects the rest of the team, especially the younger blokes who look up to him.
Yes I've been guilty of drinking to excess & might have been with a floozy or two in my youth but I never once claimed to be holier than thou.
After coming back to Aus with his tail between his legs (after 'chasing his dream' because he's a legend in his own mind) he showed how much he loved Parra by signing with another team (No really, he did the Eels a favour)
Were I a Parra fan there's no-way I'd want him back. Yes he is capable of being the difference between winning & losing but that depends on the mood he's in on the day.
I was intrigued to read what Parra fans had to say about Hayne & this was the first thread that I found.
So come on you Eels supporters, tell me what you really think of Hayne?
