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

who's Hyde, and what does he do?

anyway, regarding Melbourne, we deserved those Premierships, who knew that Slater and Cronk would turn out so good, and that Smith who went to the Storm as a halfback would become the best hooker of all time?

Look what happened in 2008, it's not easy to win them. Frikin overrated S Menzies.

f**k off idiot.

In the five seasons after 2009, Hayne was so depressed about Melbourne's cheating he couldn't ever reach that lofty level of excellence again.

2014 was up there as one of his best seasons ever, the bunch of plodders around him weren't much chop though.

Fact is the cap does what it promotes.

We don't have teams winning multiple premierships/championships in a row like other codes.

The only teams who haven't made the GF since 1998 are Canberra, Cronulla and GC.

Out of interest how much has the top 4 changed in last decade? Not too hard to make 8th but to be top 4 is much harder. How many clubs have not finished in top 4 in last decade? Of cap really evens things out I would expect top 4 to be a good mix of clubs.

Ay. The cap apparently is a gentleman's agreement, the fact is it's easily broken, and we know clubs are over the cap, like Brisbane and Eastern Sydney, I'm sure Souths will b nxt yr with S Burgess back in the team.

That's 11 teams for in 11 grand finals, considering that 11 grand finals means 22 opportunities for a team to make it, take away the 4 slots were taken by an illegal storm storm, that means 11 different teams have made the 18 possible slots open for grand finalist

Lol@Raiders (only team not to make the top 4 or a prelim since 2005). Poor Jarrod Choker. Those 50/50 shots at goal are killer in big games.
