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?

"Yea it was prob one of Renzo's worst games at cup level. In saying that though Meni luke was pissing me off, so may times in good ball he would give it to J Nohra"

"I would like to know whose bright 💡 idea it was to get the wooden spooners strength and conditioning coach? Our defence is the worst in the clubs history. Yet we do not get a new defence coach. It seems I over estimated Jr. He does not set high…"

"The club is broken. R&R have decimated our roster since 2022. Reed Mahoney was the start of it. Then players left in a procession replaced by not much. Allowing DB to get poached because we completely mismanaged his contract was unforgivable.…"

I dunno how I would feel if he returned to us, I loved watching him play but after his stint in 2018 after when we had so much hope from the previous season and ended up with the spoon, not blaming it all on him but I think he was more of a distraction.

If he wanted to join Parra in a assistant coaching role I think that would be a huge bonus as I think he has a great footy brain, but as a player I just think those days are over

  It's ok to have a footie brain but you still need to articulate your thoughts. Hayne - nah.

I wish Hayne the best and I hope hes found not guilty. At 32 years of age I really cant see him offering much to any club. Hes been out of the game awhile now.

I could see the Tigers throwing him a lifeline and play him at 5/8.
