I have heard it is north of $600k. I can't say it is true it is just what I have heard. Anyway, if true, I was truly shocked as I thought his pay would be less than $300k. And on Hayne he was worth every penny he was paid by Parra, now he is not. But that could change next year, he may have lost a bit of speed but is still a very skilful player.
Hayne should have a big year next year - for three reasons. Firstly, he is off contract at the end of the season, which generally brings out the best in players. Secondly, just prior to his sensational run in 2009, two things happened: he played for Fiji and was inspired by that; and Daniel Anderson put him at five-eight for a while which sharpened his skills and his focus. Well, he's currently playing five-eight for Fiji. I think it's all a perfect storm that will see Hayne play some sensational football next year.
