What if Jarryd Hayne doesn't make the 49ers cut? Will he return to the NRL?

[Avenger]

What a waste of talent. I shake my head. Once Tomsula gets the arse Hayne will leave the NFL and the chasing rainbows era will cease.

i read somewhere that there is an average of 8 minutes of actual gametime in every nfl game. imagine if they bought into origin, they'd have a heart attack.

Exactly, the NFL is such a structured sport that Hayne had no chance of picking it up and running with it from day dot. He needs to spend a lot more time around the game to learn it and become comfortable. He has the ability to get there but with Tomsula under so much pressure he seemed reluctant to gamble on Hayne.

but he's been playing madden on his playstation!!

Hayne cleared waivers, so basically no other team wanted him. He will re-sign with the Niners

He's on the practice squad now...

Basically even with all the injuries, they didn't rate him enough to keep him in the 53. They'll likely sign a FA RB in the next couple of days.

 

[Pierced Soul]

does the NFL have reserves or a feeder team? i'm thinking even if hayne was on the practice squad, he's never going to improve unless he actually gets some form of game time, and if he's a liability for the main team then he'd benefit from playing at a lower level.

 

[BrisbaneRhino]

I'm still waiting for all the benefits from Hayne trying the NFL to arrive in the NRL.....

The problem for Hayne will be that it is not a sport that waits for players to develop. Every year there are future stars coming through the college ranks and if he fades now he won't get another shot.

In retrospect the 49rs was a poor choice as they are dire. Having said that they were exactly the sort of team to give him a go.

Exactly. Haynes only going to get older, he needed to go 3-4 years ago. These young kids coming through will smoke him.

There is no-one.

They just signed Shaun Draugn.

 

[Hutty1986]

Good thing Hayne's replacements are absolute guns.. oh wait.

 

[Parra]

You don't think fans are on the edge of their seats with the Gaskins/Draugn combo the 49ers are threatening to field?

Nope, the only league of the big 4 not to have a professional development league, which as you pointed out sucks because if he was say trying to play baseball he would be playing on a regular/daily basis in the minors get his raw skills developed.

I can see him playing 3rd base for the White Sox in 2016...

 

[BrisbaneRhino]

I can't see that, but I can see him going to RU for his next "test". Seems to me that only RL players view being the best in their sport as just a stepping stone to playing in others.

The way things went last night 1st base for the Mets might be an option as well

Coming from Parra, I think the Chicago Cubs would be more appropriate.

 

[Danish]

Kap has been benched apparently.... What a fall from grace for him over the last couple seasons

No real surprise. Thing is his replacement won't do much better behind that 49ers O-line. Joe Staley is about the only decent talent left on it.
