No, you said he was going to French rugby.
You lose.
Where do I stand?
I'm disappointed that he didn't sign with us. I'm happy for Hayne to have signed a lucrative deal at the Titans though, and I look forward to seeing him play there, hopefully this weekend. I'm also looking forward to him helping NSW win back the S.O.O.
I've never met Hayne, nor do I know what has happened behind the scenes re negotiations so I'm not going to start casting aspersions about his character and calling him names.
He is the greatest Eel I've ever seen play and for that he will always have my respect.
That's where I stand.
The only part I can't get past is the lies. Sign where you want but be honest.
You can't leave with that press conference, then know the Eels supporters ride with you to the NFL and then most atleast defended him when he quit the NFL and copped shit. He reiterated earlier in the year that he would be an Eel, all indications following on social media was that he still was an Eel.
We aren't clear for salary cap for future years and he can't wait one more week? Seriously?
Or if our offer wasn't enough, just f**king say it. I can cop honesty, 400k+ a year extra is great money and hard to turn down but he said he didn't get a contract at all.
The Eels paid him while he was away.
Honesty is all that i require and because he wasn't, I am not interested in his story and while I don't wish injury on any player, i do not wish him well and I will not be happy or sad with whatever happens in his career going forward.
