Disappointed in him, but it's not the end of the world. We have got by without him for two years. At least now we can strengthen our front Row and dummy half stocks.

We have Bev and the Guth Bus to play dummy half we just need a competent half to partner Normie.

I don't really care that he's not coming back, it's more the principle of the matter. He said he'd be back, if 10:30 comes and it's true, he is a flat out liar.

I think it will work out in the end too..........just like Cherry Evans. Titans dodged a bullet with him, and he hasn't done much for Manly this year. They have done better without him.

Yes, we will suffer next year but we will have cash to spend for 2018. I think we will be better in the long run............

I am just annoyed with the whole "I will come back to Parramatta" rubbish............Hayne is a liar and doesn't honour his word at the end of the day. Jamie Lyon part 2.

Next player I'll be enquiring about is Farah. Say what u like about the guy, but we can't afford to start next year without a quality 7 or 9.

Except Arthur said as recently as yesterday that he wanted him.

So we go into next year with only 1 star in our spine (if Norman has even actually signed). We wont even be close to a top 8 team.

Who is on the market, we either need a marquee fullback or half. Cronk isn't going anywhere, so that leaves no halves. I'm not aware of any fullbacks unless we take one of the Titans scraps (Zillman or Hoffman) but neither are marquee
We don't need a fullback, we have Gutherson/French. We just need a half, but with Hayne not coming we now have close to a million dollars to spend. I am sure we will get more the a half with that cash, probably a hooker and another forward too and all top 17 quality. That will make us a better side then just spending it all on a fullback.

Very disappointing if true. Hayne should be remembered as playing only for the Eels whilst in the NRL. Interesting that the Titans can afford him whilst this year also getting: Peats, Hurrell, McQueen retaining Elgey and also signing Taylor.

Maybe we should have let the NRL take over our FC board?

I'd go Farah also, with the Tigers contributing a shitload.

The Titans will have to offload one of their halves, I think we should look at Tyrone Roberts, who can also kick goals.

I'd be looking for a couple of front rowers who can really make a difference.

If he is at the 10.30am presser I want to hear him talk to Parra fans. Explain why he chose them and not us.

Depending on what he says will determine how I feel about him moving forward.

Agree on this one.

Can someone remind Jarryd what the bible says about lying.... Great Christian Jarryd.

I'm sure the "lord" directed him to the Gold Coast as well.

Piss off you dog!

You ever watched Tyrone Roberts play mate? I'd be going for Farah and Carney.

On the other site last night, a poster posted Hayne is a done deal at the Titans because the NRL had Beavis by the short and curlies and the NRL only wanted Hayne to play there and not the eels. He was shot down quick smart, but what if he posted is true. Stagger now posted Hayne will play this year. So Titans sign hurrel, peats and now Hayne mid season. Seems legit!!!

Maybe we should rethink our take on the appeal. By all accounts the NRL have dangled a carrot In front of us to drop it (250k). An appeal in another two weeks will throw this season into chaos for the NRL. ;)
