Unless the other club is shopping him around, I suppose.

Ash Taylor could be on the block too. And let's be honest outside a kicking game the kid has absolutely nothing. Tits will probs be stuck with him even if they want him gone at his price
Maybe broncos will go after him ... he will probably go there for 150k :wink::wink::wink:

Having been lucky enough to actually witness our 4 premierships, it's difficult to find anything too negative about JH, his appearances from 2009 to the end of his career at the Eels were probably the best highlights since 1986.

Love the teams of 2001 and 2005 , but he was something else , the games he won with unbelievable footwork and speed are still a thing of absolute joy.

One of the saddest things is the journey to NFL and the broken promise on return, how to wreck a legacy 101.

I agree 100%. Him and Brett Kenny were the most naturally gifted players I’ve ever seen.

People talk about Tedesco but he looks like an unco compared to Hayne in full flight. Hayne needed a mentor but I think the one he had (his manager) lost control of him when his ego reached unprecedented levels.

Tend to agree, Beavis absolutely overcooked JH and his ego. Player managers obviously assist a fair bit in hegotiations and perhaps investments, but if JH had been mentored properly who knows what could be said about him. The most identifiable sportsman in Sydney, idolised by boys and young and not so young women, and then in less than 24 months with no reins applied to him by his agent, he is a shadow of what should have been.

The Titans started the spiral, and I think his salary demands for an exrension at the Eels cooked him as his agent was looking for what he was worth at the top of his game , just a really sad figure now.

You should stay with your gut feel. It seems to be right but I reckon your heart takes over and then you just want to love everyone. Including me and Gary.

Let’s say he is found not guilty, do we give him a lifeline?

D.Woods if not injury prone was a special talent also.

When I comment here it’s like you guys are next to me at a game and we are chewing the fat. I don’t give a f**k if you come back later and say but you said this that day.

I love my Eels and on here you will ride the roller coaster with me.

Better to remember him for the three wooden spoons in his final four years with us. The last time we made the finals with him was in 2009 when he was young enough that some of our leaders still had some influence over him.

Semi was up there too Hindy. Not sure ive seen a better ball runner than Semi. Such a pity his last season with us was outside the bloke who wouldnt pass the ball. Just for your benefit Basil. Ya catch that one Knucklehead?

Hayne was the most amazing on field player i have ever seen .... 2009 has never been matched and not sure ever will

But off field he always seemed to have problems with lots of people - right from the start .... even god never sorted him out
