WITH Neil Henry under pressure to keep his job, the blame game for the Titans’ miserable form slump is being played out and now it’s emerged the coach may never have been on board with the marquee signing of Jarryd Hayne.
In a fiery discussion on Fox Sports’ NRL360, senior News Corp journalist Paul Kent revealed the decision sign Hayne on a multi-million dollar deal last year was driven entirely by the Titans board, with Henry against it because it flew in the face of the way he likes to manage a salary cap.
Weighing in to the conversation, Kent’s The Daily Telegraph colleague Phil Rothfield said Henry likes to coach a club with an “even roster” forgoing highly paid stars and no frills players on $200,000 and less to put together a balanced list of mid-range talent.
The board won out, Hayne was brought to the Gold Coast, and the club has sunk towards the bottom of the ladder.
“It was the board that wanted to sign Jarryd Hayne, not the coach,” Kent said.

Makes a lot of sense. I've been wondering for awhile why they signed him when he seems to go against everything the Titans were building for last season. His ego looks like a real moral killer for the rest of the team as well. The NRL isn't like the NFL, in that there's no room for egos and selfish players, it's much more of a team sport.
And to think there were some on here who wanted to sign him up to the Tigers next season. :crazy
