Rumours and Stuff

[The Colonel]

The whole Hayne wanting to come back sounds like he has lost the dressing room at the Titans. He is miffed with missing out on being a part of their leadership group and doesn't get along, reportedly, with Henry. He has mates still at Parramatta - Mannah is a very good friend. He sounds like he wants to go somewhere he feels loved. Obviously the Roosters are off limits now they have, potentially, signed Tedesco.

I think we have moved on from where we were when he was here. Hooker and a top class forward for mine brings as much to the team , quite possibly more than what Hayne does particularly given his past and his penchant for being a dressing room distraction.

If that is the way the club want to go, I understand that his playing ability is something that doesn't become available every day but to talk up his return as a guarantee of a premiership is laughable.

I think it's money spent better elsewhere....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah - he's a little hydrophobic...

No it's eczema

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Let's get him anyway

 

[hindy111]

If hayne wants to go somewherre he feels loved maybe he can move into Avengers?
Last i heard he is back on the bandwagon.

 

[hindy111]

Moses will come next week after international break. It makes sense.

 

[Jake the snake]

If we have signed Evans, that's a great signing. Rated him before he signed with us and just watching him play now, he runs hard and makes good yards

Like I said Hayne and Kasiano would be the best two buys that we could make that are readily available. We would be mad to pass on them if the price is right.

On Hayne, if we can't get a decent $3-400k tpa for arguably the most marketable player in the NRL, then the Burn and Co are not the admin quality that I thought they were.

Just on the hype, bums on seats and merchandise sales that he would bring he will pay for himself. It is a no brainer from that perspective. The only real question is whether BA wants him back. If he doesn't, imo he is making ANOTHER mistake.

Jarryd, is a freak of a talent and as such he marches to a different beat, just like so, so many other uber talented individuals. The better coaches understand this and should/do adjust to make it work for both the individual and the team. You can't as a coach have your cake and eat it too.

Whether we like it or not, geniuses do not change their way of doing things very easily or ever, We mortals need to get over our resentments and give them what it takes to help them fly.

I think most of the playing group get that and can live with it, but it is the old school hard nosed people/coaches that seem to think that one size fits all, who find it very difficult and fail to get the best outcome for both player and team.

Like Laurie Daley said the other day, there were a couple of players back in his day at Canberra that didn't put in so much at training and he initially had some resentment towards them, but then what they could do on the field, well if they could do that, then he just needed to get on with it and he did.

Jarryd is a once in a life time quality player that has come out of Parra. We should not be so prideful to the point of biting our nose to spite our face.

Come home Jarryd, it's time to win a premiership and with you in the team, we just about have the players to do it.

The only problem is that, as per the NRL rules, the club cannot get involved with TPA's...

That's where his manager has to get him the best deal possible.

How about his manager get's out and does some dirty work for a change and accepts an $800 k offer from Parramatta and does a bit of hard work to source Hayne $400 k's of TPA's, instead of just putting his hand out for $1.2 M from the Eels.
This all speculation anyway. We don't even know if Hayne wants to return to the Eels, do we?

 

[eels_fan]

I think he means if Bernie can't organise 3-400k in TPAs that can't be traced back to the club... no tape recordings. Maybe when he has a piss up at the pub with some rich corporate mates

Unless you are the titans whom are owned by the NRL

 

[eels_fan]

Unless you are the titans whom are owned by the NRL

In which case you can have Trip-A-Deal as a club major sponsor and then have a company under the same umbrella paying Hayne $400k a year in TPAs...

Probably only the 98th time this has been mentioned but Marquee Player Allowance is not a TPA.

Waits for Pou to chuck a wobbly...........

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

How far a club can be involved in TPAs (not the Marquee sort) depends on the definition of 'negotiation'. Clubs can't take any part in negotiating them. But it appears that introducing players to people who might be prepared to sponsor them doesn't count as part of the negotiation.

The problem with that is whatever deals are genuinely sourced by the manager don't make our offer to the player any more competitive. If Hayne is really after money (and in a couple of years he could be unemployed for the rest of his life) then he will take the best offer as well as whatever money his manager can wrangle.

 

[Kornstar]

I love it when players rip into the media.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

What I don't get is how come a Titans sponsor is allowed to provide a TPA for Hayne?

 

[yy_cheng]

I'd say it's more a case of his young partner not wanting to move to the other side of the world with their baby when her entire family is here...

Does she realize that she would be treated like a queen over there and he would enough wad to bring the family over too

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

No he definitely has another weakness

It's certainly not fluid dynamics.

I'm still trying to work out why we couldn't afford Kevin Kingston, especially when guru jr was going to take a pay cut
