But until Hayne walked into Seward's office with his agent Wayne Beavis last Tuesday, no one seriously believed he would walk away from the remaining year of his contract and a potential new deal that could have made him the highest paid player in the NRL, to switch to NFL.

"I knew I was meeting with Wayne but I didn't know I was meeting with Jarryd, so when he came in I must admit I had no idea what it was actually about," Seward said.

"He just said 'I need to tell you and I want to tell you face-to-face that I am done, I don't want to play any more, I want to give the NFL a go.' It was certainly a shock but he was very passionate about what he was talking about and he said 'I've just got to live a dream, I have just got to do it'."

but everyone knew

Had you confused with someone else.

There is a rabid dickhead on these forums who uses the same pseudonym and avatar as you do. Merkin does f**k all but whinge and hates rugby with a passion. Acts aggressive towards anyone who doesn't share his narrow view of the world and is generally someone to be avoided. No sense of humour whatsoever.

It's an easy mistake to make and I am genuinely sorry that I thought you were that poster.

Please continue.

There's a poster on TheFilthySpammers who scooped Hayne to the NFL three weeks ago. So plenty of people knew.
This article appeared months ago http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/...-pursue-dream-to-play-american-football/?cs=6
It's common knowledge that Hayne was interested in playing NFL but I don't believe that Brad Arthur,Tim Sheens, our CEO, or his team mates knew he was going to walk out on the last year of his contract. Even if you're right and plenty of people knew that he was going to piss off and leave our club high and dry, the evidence indicates that those who should have known didn't.

Tom Mannah on 2UE thought the news was JH resigning the new contact who. He took the call. BA definitely did not know, I spoke to him the day he left for Bali. None of the people in the office were aware, from retention to recruiters, a complete look at me decision

Well maybe they should have had an inkling after flying him over there several times. And him telling Ricky Stewart last contract negotiation would likely be his last. And knocking the deal back by two years.

Absolute amateur hour.

all the players will be going over there AFAIK

and him walking out on his contract is not the clubs fault. it's his

it was a dog act with piss poor that has f**ked up the team for next year

i hope some prick smashes both his knees with their helmet and he never plays again

Yeah, sure he would.. just like a tearful Inu and Mateo really struggled to play against us after they took big money offers to leave.

Professional sportsmen acting professionally and not emotionally. Who'd have thought it?

I fear the media will chew him up and spit him out over there. If you watch this interview then he doesn't seem to be doing himself himself any favours.

"I'm sure there will be guys waiting to hit you".

EDIT maybe not doing himself any favours is too harsh. He is one cocky bastard though. I wish we could sign someone like him.
