Also Hayne’s 2020 court case, probably has some factor in negotiations.
Thats a good point Joshy. Innocent until proven guilty but its another distracrion for the club and the human headline. I wonder if BA and the club have learned anything? Probably not.

The only arguments that people currently have for signing Hayne quickly:

- He is the best player in a team that came last (I don't agree with this).
- We don't have any better options.

Not exactly a compelling case. I am more worried that by moving quickly without due consideration we might put ourselves in a position where we cant jump at other opportunities if and when they arise. Lets not pay too much for too long.
How about the fact that preseason training starts in a couple of weeks?

Why does he have to be part of the shakeup if he is our best player?
I’m not saying that.

I’m saying that how we deal with those that we decide should stay has a significant bearing on the extent to which we are able to shake things up.

Oh OK. We need to ask ourselves one thing. Do we have a better fullback than Hayne at the club or is there one on the open market that would cost less?

I don’t think so.

PS I concede that he can come across as a peanut.

Agreed. Major peanut.

No problems with him staying as he showed some great signs last year. But if the merkin and his manager want to try and pump us for a lengthy contract for big $ then he can f**k off and sign with someone else.

Two year deal is probably enough. Maybe with an option for year 3. $800k tops per year.

“Certain dominoes need to fall where they need to fall. We’re patient,” he said.

This tells me that players like French need to be moved on first. I expect an announcement to Canterbury soon.
