Every school has the 'star' athlete. We had one [except he was a top bloke, not a dickhead]
Whenever the male teachers caught their 'star' up to no good, the attitude was 'What a scallywag. Boys will be boys hahaha' and all is forgiven. [When we were caught doing the same thing, we'd get 6 of the best] Excuses were always made. He could do no wrong.
[Sadly, he gave me a lift one night when I was 16yo. At the last minute I decided to ask him to drop me off so I could drop in on a mate. He took off & ran into a telegraph pole around the corner dying instantly. Had I not got out, I would've also died]
Hayne always had people making excuses for him. Remember when he debuted in the SOO & he threw a ball in-field that was about to go over the sideline, gifting a try & a win to Qld?
The very next day his mother, his MUMMY, is plastered over the front or back page saying 'Stop picking on my poor little Jarryd'. FFS.
That I sense was the story of his life, people making excuses for him when he fell short or was out of line.
He was so naturally gifted, not to mention a big strong unit, that everything came too easily for him. Hayne just drifted along, taking it easy.
It's well reported that he's a bludger at training plus he was a sulker. Imagine the effect that had on his teammates, especially younger players.
Did coaches go easy on him? Idk but I reckon that his laziness was the root of his toxicity, especially at the Titans. He only went there for the $$$. A quick pay day. [Hanging out with freeloading thugs can't come cheap. All that grog, cocaine & the strippers aint paying for itself]
As you say, Mitchell has his family & community around him.
Everyone is saying the same thing re; needing to be superfit so we can be sure that would be Bennett & the trainers focus. Interesting to see how quickly he shapes up. All that running at FB will help, lol.
Now it's wait & see.
. In all seriousness though 6kg is awesome.
