If Holmes isn’t willing to giving himself at least 2 seasons to make a proper go of it, then he might as well come home now. Hayne had a genuine shot to make the transition, but threw it away on his rugby “dream” (or potentially having some reason to leave the country ASAP...)
Holmes looked pretty decent for a guy who has zero experience. He’s destined for the practice squad, then we’ll see how committed he actually is.
Would love to see a league player go at a younger age and get some college experience. The Polynesian youth is an untapped market for the NFL, and they probably don’t come with all the baggage of rising elephants to practice and what not
From what I read he was shown the door. Dropping the ball was THE cardinal sin.
He blew his big chance and was the reason why he was let go.
Many of us could have told the Americans that Hayne would blow it sooner or later because he's so inconsistent.
Hayne has the size, speed, strength and natural skill to have been able to succeed at any one of three footy codes but his flaky piss-poor attitude has always been his Achilles heel.
