Hayne is officially an Eel

The Parramatta National Rugby League Club is pleased to announce the signing of Jarryd Hayne for the 2018 season.

Jarryd has today expressed excitement at the prospect of returning to the Club he supported as a child and resuming a relationship with our players, Members and fans.

“As I said yesterday, my decision to return to Sydney wasn’t taken lightly so I am grateful that Brad and the Eels have offered me the opportunity to return to the Club,” Hayne said.

“Eels Members and fans have been behind me throughout my career and I want to use this second chance to repay that faith and support.”

“I look forward to returning to training in early January 2018 and am keen to work hard and play my part for the team in building on last year’s finals run.”

Parramatta Eels CEO Bernie Gurr said that the Club was pleased that one of its most talented local juniors has returned home.

“Jarryd started playing for our Club as a 15 year old, so we are pleased that he now has the opportunity to return and be part of a strong squad and playing culture that Brad Arthur has developed over the past few seasons.” Gurr said.

“From speaking with Jarryd, he is keen to join his teammates in early January and is committed to working with Brad and our players to build on our excellent 2017 season. Jarryd’s abilities will strengthen our 2018 player roster and we look forward to again seeing Jarryd in the Blue & Gold”.

"But he cant and he spends about 5mins more on the field once TDS comes on. He and Moretti played less then 30mins each. That allows plenty of room to include Riley. The longer TDS plays the dumber he gets. Cost us the game today with dumb penalties…"

"It’s being overlooked that Moses was ruled out by club medical staff. If he wasn’t cleared to play, that’s the end of the discussion from a club perspective. Parramatta weren’t going to risk aggravating it, and Ryles would follow medical advice. If…"

"Embarrassing? No. Perth offered him more money, more years and a better path to regular first grade. They're an expansion club with a roster to build, so opportunities there are completely different to established clubs. Twidle took the first…"
