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?

If he is acquitted he will have no shortage of suitors. Played centre on Origin. Massive impact for us.
You are seriously kidding yourself right? Firstly how old is he, the case will likely go on for a long time too. He hasn't played a game in 2 years .
He would be lucky to get a spot in touch footy
Sandor Earl came back after 4 years out of the game, it's not out of the question albeit unlikely
Maybe Brett, but Earl was also a lot younger too. By the time this case finishes he will be almost 33 with 2 years out of the game. He looked like a shadow of himself even before he left
LOL runna - at his age and fitness he would be lucky to get a spot on the lounge to watch a game.
These cases are normally slotted in for the duration of a trial - is this a mention or the hearing of the case?
It is the hearing mate!
Thanks EE - so I would expect it to be slotted for a specific time and resolved one way or the other at the conclusion of that time frame.
Sir Col it would be resolved one way or the other but sentencing is not given at that time. It would be adjourned to a future date for sentencing (if found guilty of course). The matter could go on for a couple of months yet. Which takes out 2021 at the minimum.
Thanks Nut - I overlooked that small point. lol
That said, if guilty then game over for a return to RL anyway, if found innocent then he would be available immediately if he is intending to return to the game.
No I am serious., caveat being that he was! 32 is not old. Ask Cameron Smith.
