Hayne leaves NFL for Olympic dream

[Fozz]

Jarryd Hayne retires from NFL to return to rugby - NFL.com

"I am retiring from the NFL because the Fiji Rugby Sevens team reached out to me about the opportunity to join the team for the upcoming Olympics, and I simply could not pass that chance up," he said. "The Olympics has been something I have admired since I was a little boy, and it is an opportunity I feel very similar to me joining the NFL.

Eh.

Lolz.

Ummm...ok. At first I thought it was a joke but it is actually legit. I don't know what to say other than what...the...?

I guess the Roosters offer (reading between the lines) and probably lack of first team action was too much to ignore.

 

[Morkel]

If he goes to the Roosters I'm going to lose a buttload of respect for him.

 

[Fozz]

At least this means there won't be 24/7 Hanyewatch once this dies down. At least until after the Olympics.

Retired before he was cut anyway ??

 

[Bucking Beads]

The awkward thing is that he may be ineligible for the Olympics..

 

[broncos4life]

So he has effectively done the whole "you can't fire me, I quit!"

Hayne has an Olympic dream? I thought his dream was the NFL. Any other dreams you're not telling us about Jarryd?

That one where you're speaking in public and realise you're naked.

...or a politician, 'I have a dream!'

If Trump can... who can't?

 

[Super Freak]

Next he'll have a dream about playing in the NBA. Or the US Masters, or to join the WWE.

Every time I hear about Trump, I just can't stop thinking, 'Well I have a pigeon.' and 'mmm whatever, it's a thing the Toona malt does to me.'

 

[Tera]

Jumped before he was pushed is my guess.

He will be a rooster in July you watch
They have been saving their pennies for him. Someone said they have like 600k free this season for such a case.
