Peter Wynn swims Dardenelles, Hayne jersey selling

https://au.sports.yahoo.com/league/a/29365824/the-7th-tackle-with-josh-massoud-and-jim-wilson/?cmp=stTackle 5 – Hayne jerseys on long flight pathIf there's one item of merchandise that will make you an overnight millionaire right now it's Jarryd Hayne's 49ers jersey. We got in touch with two of the NFL team's official merchandise stores in San Francisco this week to find out how sales were faring. And it's fair to say they are soaring higher than the Hayne Plane himself."We got our first shipment of 20 in last week and they sold out before the Dallas game," reported one sales rep. "And we just got the second batch in this morning. In a few hours we already sold four jerseys - easily more than any other player on the side."Ex-pat Aussies are accounting for a considerable chunk of the market, but there's also a boom in demand from the fairer sex. "He's very popular with the girls - a lot of females have bought his jersey," the rep continued. "I'm assuming he went pretty well with the ladies Down Under."Sadly, Hayne's legion of female fans back home will have to wait some time to get their hands on the No. 38 shirt. A Nike representative told us that enquiries had only just begun to have them shipped to Australia, meaning they won't be available for direct sale on our shores for around another month at least.in the swimEels great Peter Wynn is best known nowadays for flogging footy gear at his iconic shop in downtown Parramatta. But Wynn stepped away from the cash register this week, to participate in a very special event overseas.On Saturday the 57-year-old will take the plunge and swim across the Dardenelles Strait, which separates Europe and Asia. Starting in Turkey the swim is an annual event that has special significance this year – the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings. Unable to run freely for more than two decades thanks to a pair of shot knees, Wynn turned to open water swimming stay fit.“I’ve done a lot of events off Sydney and my top distance is around 3km,” he told us. To traverse the world-famous shipping channel, Wynn will have to go much further – it’s 4.5km wide.“They tell me the water temperature isn’t too bad, which should be a bonus,” he said. “You also get a bit of an adrenaline surge participating in something like this, alongside so many people. I’m sure I’ll be fine.”

"I'm putting last year down to the new style of attack and defence that had been implemented, as well as relying on Volkman at half. It was a disatorous 1st half without doubt, but I can't see that happening again. We should be much better prepared…"

"It was. Mainly because Read came off as a total fuckwit. While it's nice to see (most of) the media on our side in this case, it;s really hard not to be."

  Wow really? I saw him selling the Hayne jerseys as he was in the dardenelles. He was stopping passing swimmers and outfitting them in jerseys as they swam. I'm not sure where he was getting all the jerseys from. Maybe he had them in his budgie smugglers.
