I agree that we are a better team with him in the squad, but what other players rant like him in social media during delicate negotiations ? He has watched Jerry Maguire too many times methinks .

He just lacks the desire and drive to have ever been in same class as a Slater. Talent gets you so far. Slater was always hungry for it and gave 100% every game.
The club signed Ferguson knowing Hayne would need a contract. Speaks volumes.

You realize that contracts aren’t prepared until the parties agree to the deal in principle ?

Yes but you said “We have made him a written offer and it's obviously unsatisfactory”. I don’t reckon we did. Do you think they agreed in principle and made a written offer?

Semantics. We want him but on our terms. He wants what he wants and is willing to make the club look bad in order to achieve it. Jarryd first, club second as usual. It's the exact opposite of what the club needs right now.

He made one dumb tweet. Hardly a rant. And the interview Josh posted was nothing to get upset about. I agree he's a bit of a tosser but so are plenty of footy players. But not many of them have anywhere near his level of talent.

what did 4th and 6th say about Hayne?
Interestingly they are polar opposite in opinions on Hayne. Mainly because 4th tackle is a Deathrider. He thinks there is only 2 tackles left we are f*cked. 6th tackle he is a nuthugger. He is like its the last already? No need to panic things aren’t dire yet.

He doesn't need to be as good as Slater to merit a spot on the team.

You’ve got the process arse up.

You make a verbal or written offer. If he accepts it (in principle and non binding until contracts are signed) then you prepare contracts to ratify the deal.

Are we though? He's a great player, one of the best I've seen. But I don't think he improves the players around him like the true greats. I think we need to move on now.
It's the difference between influence and leadership. I'm sure he influences the other players in the squad. He is too high profile not to.

I could pay $1,000,000 for a shitty Hyundai, that doesn't mean it's worth a million dollars.

Oh F**k !
