Obviously Northern Hemisphere bred with that birth date.
I disagree. We needed more class this year, which is why we have recruited Paulo and Fergo. The only depth we’ve brought into the squad is Lane (and Davey, but he’s more of a project). Additionally the club wanted to retain another class player in Hayne as it’s first option. Has BA got that wrong too?
No problems with keeping Hayne at all. It just needs to be at the right price.

yeah our offer is only 100-200k less than he wants - he should just accept it
See ya, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.This f*cking club is a joke. Recruitment and retention has been diabolical for years. When was the last time we had two or three origin level players in the side? You can say 'good on them' for not paying more than they think he's worth, but what is the point? So we can buy players like Kane Evans and sign an over rated slob like Juniour Paulo to a four year deal? What the f*ck are they thinking? Hayne was our best back this year. He's a Parramatta legend. For a long time he was Parramatta. And this club hasn't got the f*cking foresight or imagination to fork out a bit extra for this once in a life-time crowd favourite. F*ck me, for a large part of this year I only watched Parramatta games because he was playing. And I don't think I'm the only one. I'm done. After more than fifty years, I can't support this club anymore. I'll still come on this forum from time to time because it's a funny place, but I'm going to follow the Wanderers from now on.
OK then, answer this.Nope but we’re a chance of making the 8 with Hayne, which will certainly help with future recruitment and retention moreso than finishing last and bottom 4 in consecutive years.
Just what the club needs more traffic accidents.Lane will overtake Manu quite sharply .
Maybe this is the final straw for him??? After 50 years maybe he has finally had enough of following this mediocre rabble of a club???See ya, don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out.
I wouldn't bother coming back to the forum either.
Talk about a joke, throwing away over fifty years over one player. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I don't think Bernie will be sacked under any circumstances. I do reckon he will move on though. I think thats probably whats happening with BA but he dosent know it yet. Im still hoping for Justin Holbrook as his replacement. Maybe O'Neill will be promoted to Bernies spot if what I think happens. Ive always thought BA would make a good HoF Manager. Stranger things have happened.
That’s not the point that Ivor made and isn’t the point that I was responding to.
He was suggesting that this year was a write-off so we might as well sign Hayne.
One of our issues this year was go forward at the start of sets and attacking punch through the middle. We have rectified both of those issues with Paulo and Fergo. The other main issue was our halves playing like busted arses. You would have to hope for some improvement but all of this will count for little if we don’t have a quality fullback to provide attacking threats on both sides of the field. As it stands we don’t have that.OK then, answer this.
Why didn't we make the 8 this year? Hayne was in the team, why didn't he magic us into the finals like he's apparently going to do next year?
Why didn't the Titans Make the 8 in 2017?
Do I need to go on? This jesus worship of Hayne has to stop. Yes he is one of the best ever Eels, no doubt about it, he's a freak, but he has a bad effect on the team, call it bad juju or whatever.
If he needs to get his money elsewhere and if he can get his payday, best of luck to him.
Stop pinning your hopes on 1 player, it doesn't work. The entire squad working together as a team is what will get us to the finals, like it did in 2017. (just bee-tee-dubs, was Hayne playing in the team when we came 4th in 2017? I can't remember...)
But that neglects the possibility of going even better with Hayne.I’m more interested in what the overall team does.
If we improve from last to bottom 4 without Hayne as you have suggested than at least we are trending in the right direction.
24 hours left in the 48 hours matePs... Mick was right wasnt he. Told you all there be announcement.
