Jarryd Hayne will be a notable no-show at the start of Parramatta preseason training on Thursday, as the two-time Dally M Medalist trains solo in preparation for the 2019 NRL season.

The reigning wooden-spooners return to training early along with three other NRL clubs and are struggling to put together an attractive offer to keep Hayne at the club, with the ex-NFL star reportedly asking for an upgrade to his contract in the vicinity of $700,000 a season.

Parramatta is looking to move players around to have enough money in the salary cap to give Hayne the money he wants.

Eels coach Brad Arthur confirmed Hayne won’t be present at the start of preseason training but still expressed a desire to have the ex-NFL star in his squad.

“He is not contracted so he won’t be there (for the first day of training),” Arthur told News Corp. “Obviously we want him at the club. He wants to be here. It is just about working things out.”“He is not going to play for $100,000,” he added. “It is just making sure what works for him works for us. I hope (he stays) but I don’t know. Honestly, I have no idea.
“He knows what he needs to do to get his body right.

“We don’t want it to go too long because then it does start to become a problem. We need to know one way or another pretty soon.”

Veteran centre Michael Jennings is said to be one of the players the club is trying to offload in a bid to keep Hayne.

:bash

 

[Demps]

Strong talks here in Newcastle that the knights will land Jennings as there is doubts on Moga after a 4th ACL.

We will see….

 

[Snake]

If Parra wanted Haine they would of already signed him …that is what clubs do even to Rort the salary cap to do so .. it is all about winning.

 

[bp_tiger]

newcastles roster is better than ares yet here they are still wanting to sign proven 1st graders, in klemmer and jennings, and what are we doing recruiting ISP players, pascoe and co get of ur arses and sign some decent players.

 

[earl]

I wouldn't have Fonua in either Russ, I think he started off well but completely lost it the longer the season went on. He makes far too many errors. I was a huge fan of his early in the season but i've done a complete 180\. IF we were to get Hayne, and it's a big if, my backline would be:

1\. Mbye
2\. Nofo
3\. Marsters
4\. Hayne
5\. Thompson

I know that Hayne is a massive risk but that backline looks heaps better. At full strength we only really lack a player like Hayne. That centre position is the worst position as well so if you fix that position and get a top level player there we improve as a team a fair bit.

It looks better to you because you imagine Hayne playing at close to his best, what about the majority of games where he couldnt care less and plays accordingly,Lazy trainer who only cares about himself

You are correct.. It looks heaps better if Hayne is playing to the best of his ability. The problem is that it's just as likely Hayne doesn't perform and impacts the rest of the team negatively. It's a tough decision.

Mate, you are worse than Golden. Complain, complain complain. Is Ryan Matterson a reserve grader? Mbye?

 

[Geo]

Didn't we finish ahead of Newcastle last year….boy they must suck..

 

[colmcd]

If he comes - It HAS to be for Fullback. I don't think he's worth the money if you remotely consider playing him elsewhere.

Remembering Mbye has a lot of experience playing in the Halves.

I would be going 1\. Hayne 6\. Mbye 7\. Brooks 9\. Farah - 14\. Reynolds

Why does everyone push the Fullback? You have wingers like Addo-carr who score every time they are near the line.
Ingles and Hayne were most deadly on the wing, both are

I wish we could swap Hayne for Mbye. I just keep looking at Mbye thinking why did we do it.
Cmon we had the dogs, we should have pushed for Hopoate. LAST thing we need is Mbye in the halves to re-create the winning spoon combo of Reynolds and Mbye…

But, for my money. Hayne on the wing unless moving him to Fullback pushes Mbye to the bench (IMHO his best spot).

He scored 10 tries in 15 games for a team that won the wooden spoon. That's more than anyone in our team. He also had more tackle breaks than anyone in our team with the exception of Nofoaluma (77 vs 71). He was really good late in the season.

Hating him for who he is is absolutely fine, but he literally moonwalks into our backline. It's no secret we lack spark in our backline and he adds spark whilst solving our centre issue quite nicely. For the right price I think he'd improve our team materially.

Yes, for the right price he would be awesome. He is though doing it to get good coin out of Parra, he won't come here unless he gets a really sweet deal…. Aka wrong money.

We need a back. We seem to have:
Nofo
Marsters
Mbye
Fonua?
Thompson.

**PAUL MOMIROVSKI**

We definitely need a Utility back. Last year we used 3 reserves in the backs and had to use them. We really were winning early in the season when we plugged our defensive gaps and Nofo/Fonua/mbye are the biggest ?'s Then again Nofo is good at going over the line and hopefully McGuire can bring something out of Fonua.

Otherwise would be glad to play Thompson out of position in the Centers (or move Mbye there) and Hayne on our wing.

Why is he not included?

He's an untested, fringe first grader and we have too many fringe players already. As a depth player and future first grader, absolutely, but we don't have the depth currently to experiment with a rookie imo.

^ as Avo said above.

Shows potential. Should start in our reserve grade and we get him in an occasional game to see how he performs.

I would even put Hayne there for one game to start. Let him earn his place in the team.

dont we already have our quota of blokes whose best years are a long time ago ?

waste of roster spot & cap space

every other club knows it & we should too

How many players can we sign? There are only two CAP spaces left.

Nothing of substance to come back with, so you resort to a strawman argument. Get a grip.

A few years ago in the SOO he was a match winner if my memory is correct

Yes he was, for Queensland, he hogged the ball and went for glory, should have passed to an unmarked winger and we wrap up the series, but alas, we lose the game and series

Meh

NSW team was rubbish for yearS. Jhayne wasn't the problem.

It depends which hayne we get. If in right mindset its a steal… If not then he's just another has-been we pick up.

Depends on the price

Well, he's reportedly after an upgrade from Parra, to $700,000\. A bit rich for us.

 

[Cairnstigers]

Sorry do you mean Mexican Pesos
And even that's rich

Would rather get Walker and upgrade Brooks contract

 

[diedpretty]

Interesting Pascoe being …I guess 'coy' might be the word im looking for...on the matter

Yea - he did say he was a good player - full stop. Normally they waffle on about the guys character and the fit for the club - he just jumped from good player and we have cap room - two unrelated facts.

 

[Siamtiger]

I Really think we are still a bit underdone in the forwards a Decent Prop would be handy a couple of injuries and we are in trouble just my thoughts….
