Rumours and Stuff

[Gary Gutful]

Souths are after him ?

Saw that. Doesn't come from a credible source.

 

[hineyrulz]

I’d other him a 2 year deal max on 500k, he can like it or lump it.

 

[Glenneel]

Agreed. It's why I also think it's best for the team if either one of those 2 leave and we have either Salmon and Brown partnering them in the halves. The younger 2 seem like they would be fine being second fiddle.

Like your optimism about those two but think you're at least a year early. Brown may make it at 18 or 19 but Salmon has not shown anything of promise yet, but you never know what can happen in the off season.

We need some sort of quality in our spine. And at the moment Hayne would be it. If we try and low ball him and he bails who do people want at fullback?

I don’t want to see French, Hoffman, Norman or Will Smith anywhere near fullback.

 

[Bolgeel]

Seems weird he waited till the offseason, and now he’s having a sook. I’m sure he was away not long ago, maybe now our coach is away or someone that’ll be involved in negotiations.

Not fussed if he leaves or stays.

From what Bernie said the club was waiting till he returned from holidays to discuss his contract. Him having a sook is a concern for sure, it’s a hard one and I’m sure the club is each way on this?

 

[Glenneel]

View attachment 24136 Wtf Parra... we haven’t offered him a contract?

Nobody knows what we've offered but what we do know is the club wants him but nobody knows what Hayne wants. I would assume the club has offered him a contract which Hayne rejected, wanting more so using social media to try to get it.

 

[strider]

I'm an old fashioned bloke, but I can't understand why he doesn't pick up the phone if he's still wondering. Why make it public on social media? It leaves a bad taste imo. Seems like he is trying to back us into a corner to me.

Class players dont play out their contract negotiations in public

What do you think we should pay him?

750ish (give or take) and play him at fullback.

He’s still the best player in our team.

 

[Glenneel]

He is worth more than any other player in our side because he is still after all these years our best player. I’d give him $800k and sign him for 3 years.

Honestly Avenger I doubt we have to do that. Which other team wants him for a start? I'd say none so what demand is he in? Very limited. I'd offer no more than paid this year (actually I'd offer $400k) on 1 year deal with 1 year option in club's favour. Based on age and his injury history still a good wage, better than anything he'll make outside of sport I'd say. Be mean to keep him keen as he has a history of sooking.

When i am a mod Ill suspend everyone bar Ram unless I receive cash payments.

When you’re a mod I’m pretty sure we will all f**k off

 

[strider]

Id give him 500-600k .... i dont think he is worth more than that

I suspect he got 800+ last year (not all from us) and wants similar

To me this is where/when Hayne's Manager needs to step up to the plate and earn his keep.
If Slater and Thaiday can have the 2 biggest individual TPA's in the NRL, then Hayne should be able to secure something similar if not better.

He has arguably the highest public profile in sport in NSW and would sell more media and click bait then the next 10 biggest NRL names combined. Surely a legitimate TPA that has nothing to do with the Eels could be gotten for him by a manager with half a brain. His actual football contract value should nearly be the lesser component of his overall income.

What a stupid post, which agent gets off his arse and actually works to earn his 15%? Have you ever seen a skinny agent? No they're at the buffet table stuffing their face, that's the only time they're not on their chair leaning back with feet on the desk with their hands behind their head.

He used to. But dont compare him to Slater. He is an all time great mate.
Hayne should get a tpa but there are more marketable guys.

Happy with Gutherson tbh or give Bevan a final shot.

Been burnt in past by him. Club doesnt need him now. Happy for him to walk.

 

[hindy111]

Id go 550k and that's max

 

[hindy111]

People forget Gutherson come off an acl. He will be twice as mobile this season.And back to 2017 form.

Personally I think Guthersons best position is centre. He doesn’t have the playmaking skills required of a fullback.

French is just shit.
