What if you TPA dwarfs your club contract?
Might be a bit of wishful thinking / hoping....... but imagine if the Hayne Plane comes back with a sponsor like under armour that he can take with him to whatever club? Could it dwarf whatever a club can pay?
Has this always been a plan? Is it possible that this might also explain the Hayne clothing line and the documenting of the story from BEFORE he resigned from NRL? He sure signed them up quickly.
Check this article from Under Armour.
....... and check this ad for Under Armour with Michael Phelps which I think is up for a potential Lions award at Cannes.
I am sure I remember Hayne saying something about wanting to change the way sponsorships of players is managed in Australia just before he left to be more like in the US for free agents. Anyone else remember that?
Wishful thinking or California Dreaming!!??

To gain an appreciation of the company Hayne finds himself in, the championship-winning Curry reportedly has a $US4 million ($5.64 million) a year deal with the same firm.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is also aligned with Under Armour, who contribute a large portion of the $US7 million in annual endorsement income he reportedly earns.
Under Armour also paid English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur more than $US80 million in 2012 as part of a five-year deal to be the club's kit sponsor, while world No.3 tennis superstar Andy Murray is in the second year of a $US23 million deal with the sportswear giants.
Also on their books is Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who has a seven-year $US215 million contract with the Major League Baseball franchise that opened the season in Sydney last year

I know only 10years ago the Yamaha America guys racing Superbikes in the domestic series were earning more than their MotoGp colleagues in the World Championship... Why? Because at the time for Yamaha, America was 65% of the Worlds motorcycle sales.
It's all relative. Hayne was worth the investment if his gamble paid off in the US.
