Jarryd Hayne- Trial Commences this week

As per the heading Jarryd Haynes trial commences this week.  Great image for the NRL with De Belins trial currently going on for sexual assault related offences and now Jarryd Haynes for similar.  Anyway, reading the article, it appears that he has returned from his Christian Mission in Perth and has been training with current and former members of the Eels squad in Sydney and still has hopes of returning the the NRL. I make no comment in relation to the charges, trial or allegations for obvious reasons and would ask people to do the same. ( Super if that cannot be controlled or exposes the site then comfortable with and decision you make).

If he is guilty of the offences he has been charged with, then I hope he gets what he deserves.  Likewise, if he is inncocent, I hope he gets the outcome he deserves in that regard.   If found guilty, it is career over in my opinion.

 

If however he is acquitted, who thinks at age 32 any NRL Club would offer him a final crack? Would anyone want him back at the Eels?  Would he be a replacement for Jennings for example? Are we better having moved on and leaving it at that?

      • He physically and mentally never came back from the states

  • Perfect player to have in the 14 jumper. In his last season he was one of our better players in a team that was being smashed not at his fault.

    His game with a smashed face vs the Dragons at round 22 -2018 was sublime.

    With a 150K contract we'll be laughing. He's been out of the game essentially for 2 years which mean he can still play on for at least a couple more because his body has not being receiving NRL body punishment.

    • Gee Moses featured heavily in a lot of those tried

    • Gutho looks like a baby in that video.

  • Cheers EE.

    Happy for discussion of the case but please steer clear of any form of judgement until the court has made its decision.

    • Very true. Like I said much much cheaper, easier and smarter to see a paid professional than take a risk these days even more than ever with social media etc. I’ve always wondered why there are no repercussions for eg in Brett Stewart or Semis case against the false accuser. Semis wife admitted she made it up due to jealousy. Why can’t they charge those that do that? It would be fair on the bloke falsely accused whose life is affected for ever but also Fair on the true victims coming forward and the false accusers affect as well. 

      It does sound like she was mightily pissed off that he kept the cab waiting out front for 45mins more than anything  and it was not the “I’m dating the rich and gorgeous sports star” night she hoped it would be  ...sounded like she felt very scorned about that.

      • Yes macy I agree. If Jack De Belins accuser came out tomorrow and said that it was all fictitious then how do we compensate Jack for the 3 years of his life ? What about the reputational damage ? But then , what is the alternative? 

        • In QueeRZland there are laws to take false accusers to court with the possibilty of a jail sentence.

          Compensation can only be achieved through private litigation I think

          • We are halfway thru the trial, and while hoping for an acquittal for hayne, I realise the verdict can still go either way.                                  Hayne has been dealt no favours by the local press's ( The Herald ) coverage of the case last week. While its customary to expect the Press to be fair in its coverage of a criminal trial, the Herald showed, on its front page midweek, a very grim-faced Jarryd Hayne, sheltering behind dark sunglasses outside the court accompanied by the Headline " I kept saying NO...NO....NO". ,This appeared to show blatant bias against Hayne and I was dismayed to see it. I just hope it doesn't sway anyone who has a decision to make next week.                     In the event he wins his case, he will definitely want to play footy again, so I hope we have some cap space left to fit him in,                       

            • The leftist propoganda marxist media never favours the innocent.
