I think there’s a smell about this,” Kent said.“I don’t see how the NRL can justify Jarryd Hayne taking a $1.2 million deal, walking out on it and being allowed to get under the cap at Parramatta for $500,000.“I’ve got no concept of me can figure out why that’s a fair deal.“The NRL, I’ve spoken to them today about it, they’ve argued that’s what Jarryd’s current market value is, but how do you establish that?“The fact is, he hasn’t gone to market and if you try to sign any other player in the NRL and try to take $700,000 off his contract price, I don’t think the NRL would register it.”Kent said he had several theories for why the NRL might bend the rules to help the Titans and Parramatta get the controversial deal through without fuss.“Let’s also remember that they are an NRL-owned club at the present and the NRL are trying to offload them, so to get rid of that (Hayne’s contract) off the bottom line, maybe that helps as well.” Kent said.“Look, I could start spouting a dozen conspiracy theories here but until someone gets some clarification from the NRL and some explanation, I think we’re entitled to ask a few questions.”

"Why, he never left on bad terms. And was honest about it with Ryles. We let him go to chase the top dollar that eventually never seemed real, so I have no doubt in my mind parra will tell an Australian/NSW blues winger to get lost for setting…"

"I don't really think he left then all of a sudden this revelation came to light. Just before Lomax was released RTS said he is staying. Then after word he said to my contact that Haas had signed with R360, Haas said he would stay at Brisbane. Jye…"

"I would take Lomax back as he is better than any other option at the club or on the market. The risk isn't that Lomax won't be committed or will ruin morale and what Ryles is working on, I think the risk is the circus towards the end of 2027 and…"

Can’t be any clearer he dislikes the eels. He even reminds everybody in the video that we are the club who cheated the cap two years ago

What an idiot. It's OK for other clubs to sign players below their worth but not Parra.

I reckon Kent thinks 'the whole thing stinks' loll

Does this guy have an axe to grind or what?

Seriously East can sign who ever they want and know one bats an eyelid (SBW).

Broncos sign James Roberts for Peanuts and say they are better off cap wise then before he came again media just go move along nothing to see here.

Dragons sign Gasnier for $50000 win the comp and that's OK.

And yet a guy like who Hayne who was no way worth 1.2Mil a season to begin with comes in for closer to what his worth and this bloke fires up.

Kent go take your agenda and shove it.

This says a lot, here we are questioning why Jarryd Hayne never returned to Parra after he promised he would. Well your answer right there! After Parramatta were deducted our points, fined, players released, had our board removed & the NRL wouldn't allow us to know how much salary cap we had leading into a new season. Could you imagine this shit head back page stories? He would have crucified us from pillar to post all year. We would have been in the news daily reminding the league supporters, of our indiscretions. The whole salary cap issue & Hayne form would have been Daily Telegraph top stories. I think things have worked out well, make no mistakes, Kent wants us to fail, he will stop at nothing to do that!!!

Someone needs to teach Kent the basics of economics. Market value is determined by how much someone is willing to pay for a service, versus how much someone is willing to accept to provide that service...
