Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

[hineyrulz]

You guys are seriously not even worth explaining anything to, but I will try just this once.

You realize clubs say things that the members and fans want to hear right? Not necessarily the truth either

so you telling us Ricky was staying last year was what we wanted to hear??? :lol:

 

[TheParraboy]

Firstly, remind me not to hire you Everything above is about self-interest (which is fine) pursued in such a manner as to shift a lot of the cost to the club (which is the bit I don't like). I'd have had no problem whatsoever with him announcing he was leaving earlier in the season (but agree that some would go off their brain). Just because Jarryd's behaviour makes rational sense to Jarryd doesn't mean that the people adversely affected by the decision should just happily say...'well I guess that's best for him'. Despite this, I genuinely hope he does well in the NFL.

I don't think Jarryd cares nor should he. I wouldn't give a toss what some fans thought if I was chasing something I really believed in, especially If I was the clubs best player over 9 seasons. You cant make everyone happy.

Parra will move on and prepare a full off season without him, so will I.

I don't understand what any of those differences have to do with the morality or otherwise of JH's choice to finalise one's decision at a time when the club's options for replacement are heavily constrained.

When was the last time a marquee player went to an unknown sport without a contract? let alone announced it well in advance. Nil and nobody.

Haynes situation is unique, with no contract and no guarantees. He could have got a serious injury late in the season (and then we get him for half a season next year on full payment and this thread doesn't exist). Timing of his announcement was nothing more than insurance for Jarryd. (The likes of Sammy boy didn't have to worry about). Hayne wanted to make sure he was mentally and physically 100% ready to go to NFL and give it a crack. Selfish sure, Looking after no1, you bet. I would do the same.

Just speaking in general terms here, when would it be a perfect time to announce the Hayne departure?

.

I'd say about 2021

 

[IFR33K]

Channel 7 news stated eels don't have a life agreement with hayne if he returns to the nrl.

When hayne was asked, he said he just wants to focus the next 12 months on the nfl.

Is it possible eels released him without any type of clause???

Probably thankful they could be rid of him without a payout or copping the blame from fans and members.

Probably. Let's just hope it pans out. This club can't do with another run of very ordinary years. I don't think he will come back to the eels if he does decide to come back to the nrl.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Neither do I. And like I've said before, both club and player will be better off.

Thats been mentioned a few times in the media, but the merkin said it himself in his original presser -

"I'm leaving knowing that I have signed a lifetime agreement with the Eels, so if I return to the NRL, it will be to Parramatta"

[The Phelan Folly]

And all this bullshit about just having decided recently is just that, bullshit. You reckon he picked up the phone last week and called Hayden Knowles -
"wotsup, Bra
- not much
- so im off to the states on sunday to play NFL, wanna come along? -
Sure bra, just let me back my bags. -
Sweet bra, see you at the airport. Can you rustle up a camera crew on the way?"

 

[Joely01]

the coach isn't even in the country ya dumb f**k

you have no idea if he's pissed off or not

fair chance he is only having found out the news when he's on an off season holiday



i listen to you

you know more than our CEO

or so you tell us anyway

Seriously the most negative and annoying poster here.

Just piss off.

The way you are carrying on it's as if you were Haynes little b***h and he has left you.

you're his groupie, not me

maybe you should move to LA

 

[Bazal]

I love how personally El Diablo takes players leaving the NRL. Always good for a chuckle

 

[El Diablo]

cry me a river

 

[Bazal]

I think you misunderstand the meaning of chuckle....

I have a question (and it is from genuine curiosity):

Hayne carried this team for years and did it all for us, and that seemingly entitles him to do what he likes (and I'm not having a go).

But then people seem happy to give Brett Kenny shit about anything he says or does.

Now, granted - he mostly gives negative feedback these days, but he won us Premierships and is an all-time great of the code and the club.

So why is the same respect not afforded to Kenny? Surely he's earned the right to be a cranky merkin, given what he did for the Eels?

No chance Bert is making a comeback though (is there, I mean we do need a centre if Hoppa goes to FB).

same goes for Ray Price

 

[Eelementary]

same goes for Ray Price

Exactly.

I mean, both Price and Kenny have been negative in the past, but it seems to be a fun time for most here to criticise them - but Hayne puts his foot in his mouth and leaves the club in an awkward situation, and it's OK because he carried us for years?

I am not meaning to have a go, but I am genuinely interested - as far as I am concerned, both Price and Kenny did more for Parramatta than Hayne ever did...Or will ever do...

 

[Parra]

But then people seem happy to give Brett Kenny shit about anything he says or does.

Anyone who says anything negative about Brett Kenny is not an Eels fan and has never been one.


Same goes for Hayne.
