Rumours and Stuff

[Poupou Escobar]

Haynes gone and he’s best is way behind him. Can’t believe people want him back.

Because his best was as good as any merkin in the game. Even being past his best he is a quality first grader.

 

[hindy111]

At 500k he would be no risk.
At his worse he us a 500k player while at his best he is worth a mill.

If guys like Hayne,Evans & T rex come off wr can win a comp and compete with teams with big Tpas.

Not sure he’ll be an upgrade on anyone apart from taka, and even thats debatable. Also, would it be worth upgrading to Hayne if it costs us several thousand dollars and a key player???

 

[T.S Quint]

It's not debatable.
Hayne is definitely better than Taka.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Yes it is. No he's not.

What if Haynes on 700k cap wise and taka is on 250k? It allows us to sign another quality first grader.

He would be the best winger in our club. Would also be the best attacking centre. And he does a few things better from fullback than French or Gutherson. Like hindyeleven said, the key is not paying him too much.

French and guthbus have a lot of upside to an aging Hayne.

In regard to your comments about being the best attacking centre, Michael Jennings says hello!

But what if Taka on $250k is allowing us to sign Hayne on $500-750k?

 

[Bazal]

It's something along the lines of a person who has a sharp sword and knows how to use it, but chooses to keep it sheathed.

Basically, those who show control.

I doubt that's an accurate description of millennials.

I feel like you've chosen pedantry in the face of a light hearted and reasonably witty comment.

Such a Gronk move!

But what if Taka on $250k is allowing us to sign Hayne on $500-750k?

And what if we sign Hayne but lose the guthbus because of it?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Upside is nice but we'll be looking to win the comp in 2018 before worrying about future years.

In regard to your comments about being the best attacking centre, Michael Jennings says hello!

Hayne is a much better attacker than Jennings. And Jennings is good.

Lmao. Hayne currently, is not a better attacking centre than Jennings.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And what if we sign Hayne but lose the guthbus because of it?

Why would we lose Gutherson? He is contracted until the end of 2019. Even if we signed Hayne for two years they would come off contract at the same time. Hayne would be 31 by then. We currently only have two players contracted for 2020, which means we have plenty of cap space for when Gutherson comes off contract. We’d have room for both of them if we wanted to keep both.

And our recruitment under Arthur shows we only offer what a player is worth. Gutherson and Hayne will only ever get the right offer from us. If another club wants to throw overs at them that’s their problem. We’re bigger than any player, no matter how popular.

Hayne is a freak who can create opportunities and offers strong go forward. Jennings is just a finisher, albeit a very good one.

 

[Noise]

And what if we sign Hayne but lose the guthbus because of it?

Why would we lose Guth? Even you don't believe that will happen. In fact you were taking the piss out of a shit sporting news article about that very topic:

Yeah apparently the king is gone

Was a freak. People are underestimating what the two years out of the game have done to Hayne.

He’s nowhere near as quick or agile. Looks completely uninterested.

 

[hineyrulz]

And what if we sign Hayne but lose the guthbus because of it?

Why would we lose Guth??? I’m sure the reason we are able to sign Hayne is because we are in such a good posistion cap wise.

I’d still prefer we move on and spend the money up front but If we can sign a bloke as good as Hayne for 500k for a season with the next year in our favour I can see why BA is going down that route.

It’s a risk/reward situation but we need to take risks if we are to compete with the TPA laden clubs.

 

[eels_fan]

And what if we sign Hayne but lose the guthbus because of it?

Are you The Lurker? Or just believe his faceless pathetic dribble?

Do you really think BA would get rid of literally his favourite player in our team, our best trainer, the embodiment of a BA developed player? Umm... NO!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'd say they're overestimating the relevance of one ordinary year at a shit club with a shot duck coach. While I agree Hayne should have offered more for the money he was on, the problem is how much he was paid. The player himself still showed plenty of ability. And while I suspect he contributed significantly to our shit culture while he was here, and then again at the Titans, the fact is we the fans don't know for sure. We can just observe and make an educated guess. But if we sign Hayne we would have to say Arthur has no worries about Hayne's effect on our culture.

He’s nowhere near as quick or agile. Looks completely uninterested.

He might've lost some speed, but he always had plenty to spare. It might just be a conditioning problem, which the coach would believe he can fix if the player returned. Hayne did win a Dally M in his last year under Arthur.
