OFFICIAL Jarryd Hayne signs with Titans

[Big Pete]

I'm referring to the Gold Coast Titans which is a big call when you consider the signings of Scott Prince, Luke Bailey, Preston Campbell, Greg Bird and Mat Rogers. I stand by it, Hayne was one of the few players who could take it to Greg Inglis, Billy Slater, Cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith and Johnathan Thurston and didn't have the glaring deficiencies Prince had.

NRL history? The game doesn't survive without Dally Messenger, I'm not about to let the hype blind me from that. :laugh:

I think rubbishing him for not going to the Eels is a bit rough. No stability, you can't blame him for going back on his word.

Great signing for the Titans. They're going to be tough. So happy he went to a QLD club and not NSW.

If only they'd punt the douchebag that is Greg Bird. Then I might consider going back to watch them occasionally.

1- Hayne
6- Elgey
7- Taylor
9- Peats

I think only Melbourne and the Cows can top that spine next season, and given the youth of those players, they could stay at the top for a while!

Yup, they would firmly become my second team.

 

[Harry Sack]

I'm just so chuffed that he didn't go to the Roosters.

I think with this sigining in the next year sales will go up and tits will be able to be owned by someone other than the NRL. I have heard that since the arrival of Hurrell already the tits have made more money in more attendance to games, and that they are opening another section this weekend for more fans

Probably signed for the gold coast because it's close to Dreamworld.............

I'll get my coat

 

[Harry Sack]

Wow, sounds like Parra dropped the ball on this one. Hayne says he was waiting for their offer and none came.

Why would they? My sisters boyfriends boss said they were throwing the cheque book at maranta.

Makes sense... and the funny part is that it wouldn't be the worst decision they made in the last couple of years!

Because you've chosen to find a negative in. A huge positive.

8 players have been told to look elsewhere. I wouldn't be calling it a huge positive just yet, he hasn't even played for 2 years. Does the Titans mantra of not paying overs for players still apply? Anyone heard how much he's getting?

Over a million a season. (Includes TPA)

Hayne is the highest paid player in the NRL.

Why?

Enourmous signing for the Titans... I can't think of a bigger or more suprising or potentially franchise altering signing in the modern era, as Big Pete said.

Even just based on "potential" impacts of the signing:

1. Hayne to Titans
2. Inglis to Souths
3. DCE to Titans (obvs failed, but you get the pic)
4. SBW to Roosters.
5. Prince to Titans


That might become that second team Channel 9 and the NRL need for Friday nights now.
