Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

[Avenger]

i have no doubt we'd hav a clause to stop him playing elsewhere THIS year - but as per my post above, no way they'd agree to anything beyond his current deal

Then make him play or he sits on the sidelines and devotes his time to twitter, porn or whatever he is into but he ain't playing another sport unless he agrees to a clause for at least a year after he stops chasing rainbows.

and he's not here in 2016 either way ... what's the diff?

and what do we do in the meantime - keep $1m in cap space for years to come just incase?

I'll explain.

Hayne: "I want to chase my dream?"

Management: "You have a contract."

Hayne: "I don't care about money."

Management: "We do. we have built the team around you, and you even picked the coach."

Hayne: "I don't care, Jesus said I can make it."

Management: "OK, If you change your mind during 2015 you come back here. If you want to give it a full year, we have first right of reply on your return. Let's do it until the end of 2016 season, seeing you have limited our chances for a successful year in 2015. You owe us at least a year. In 2017 you can go wherever you want. If you don't like those terms. There will be no release. Nil. Zilch. You can however sit the year out and find yourself a bit more but you cannot play another sport. You see you made a promise Jarryd and we have built the team around you. Do you understand?

Hayne: "But I'm the man."

Management: Nobody is bigger than the club Jarryd.

Come on Suity. Legally we could have enforced that. Are you f**king serious???

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

We had a legally binding contract. We didn't have to release him. As if you wouldn't have the nous to place a clause in the release conditions of your most valuable commodity.

I just shake my head.

Yep, there was certainly nothing stopping us from requiring a longer-term no compete clause (or more likely a first option to us). Letting him out of the 2nd year of his contract is valid consideration.

What we actually did on the other hand....who knows? Plenty of contradictory claims flying around.

What Barry said.
And why bother if that's the case.
Jarryd, in the end, can play where ever he likes. Why force him otherwise.
You only piss people off doing that.

f**k him. He pissed Parra off by announcing his journey whilst his coach was still holidaying in Bali. Works both ways.

 

[strider]

i have no doubt we could have played hardball - but in reality i think it was a no win situation for us

If that's how you feel, I understand that.
I'd like to hear Jarryd's side of the story as well.
And the club's. And his managers.

I still reckon he won't ever play against us but I like having something to insure it that's all.

I'd like to think that as well, but I have always thought Jarryd will succeed, so I have never contemplated anything else.

[Ron Jeremy]

I cannot believe it

 

[Eelogical]

I hope he realises his NFL dream. I also hope he never comes back to the NRL. He dropped us like a bag of spuds, so be it. Time to well and truly f**king move on!

 

[Jake the snake]

So the club lied to us at the time of the press conference?!!!

This board is an absolute joke!! f**king liars

 

[Jake the snake]

Let's hope he makes it.

Jake,

Please mate, give it a f**king break. You really are boring. More boring than Maroubra, and that's saying something.

[Bigfella]

there was never any way in hell that hayne's manager would have committed to anything binding him to the club AFTER his current contract was up

the top players/their managers have all the power in this sort of shit

nothing club could have done except deny him leaving this year, piss him of, have him play shit this year then leave part way in, then never want to be here anyway

There's one other thing they could have done strides.

Replace him at some stage?

The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

I wouldn't even be surprised if we had to tell him we either couldn't produce the full payment of third party component this year and/or that if we paid him in full we'd be so far over the salary cap that we'd be screwed either way.

The way all these issues have been handled is completely disingenuous.

Yep, so blatantly as well.

I cannot believe they didn't have a clause built in just incase he got home sick or didn't màke it.

I cannot believe tgis club, the board everything, so disgusted that using foul language towards them is complimentary.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

And people wonder why league isn't my fav game anymore, it is shit like this that attributed to it.

Can't pay me to go to parra game these days
