Jarryd Hayne ponders new NRL deal

He's yet to sign his new multi-million dollar deal with Parramatta but Australian star Jarryd Hayne says the money won't go to his head.Hayne, the 2009 Dally M medallist and arguably the world's best player on form, is all set to put his name to a four-year $2 million deal with the Eels.But the 21-year-old was adamant his star status won't cause an ego explosion."When I signed last time it got to me a bit. I think I've learnt (from that) and now it seems normal," he said."Obviously I've had a good year and what not but I've got to keep backing it up."You're only as good as your last game and I should be worried about keeping that mentality, keeping that work ethic up."Hayne is in no rush to sign his new contract, despite leaving for the northern hemisphere with the Kangaroos team on Friday."Might not happen, might even do it over in England," he said."I'm still contracted next year, it's not like time's running out."The contract's still there, I think I've done everything but sign the major one so it's not going anywherewww.nrl.com/newsviews/latestnews/newsarticle/tabid/10874/newsid/57111/jarryd-hayne-ponders-new-nrl-deal/default.aspx

"Lots of variables in stats Poppa which don't tell the whole story. Sometimes players may use that as a guide about how their playing style is working. We are playing a different style which probably suits ball movement styles.. Interesting how…"

"Brown had 1 try assist in 2021, 8 in 2022. 15 in 2023, 24 in 2024 (Hunt had 30 in 2024 , Drinkwater had 26 ,and Gerome Hughes had 24 equal with Brown,) 2025 Brown has had 5 ."

"Here's a good example of statistics and lies Tad.
I love DB but he is not a play maker but those stats reflect the fact with Moses out best part of the season, we had no one else to be a play maker. Joint third in try assists is meaningless when you…"

  That might not be a bad thing I guess. Especially if something awful was to happen, like say he he had a triple compound fracture of one of his legs on tour and was unlikely to ever be able to play again. We'd then see that offer removed from the tabel pretty quick...

Hayne, who inked a multimillion-dollar deal with Parramatta during the week, revealed his intention to become a one-club man.

''I can't see myself playing for any other club, I've been there since I was a baby,'' he said.

''It would be really tough for me to leave something like Parra.''
