Hayne quits Parra to pursue NFL career

[manlyfan76]

Hopoate anyone ?

You will have to narrow that down a bit, lol.

 

[Hamster Huey]

Punter.

So he had to go to the States for that? 'Spose, the Eels did have Sandow, for that particular skill.

 

[manlyfan76]

He's not going to the Seahawks

He has no contract and no trials, nothing.

It will be up to him and his manager to sort somthing somewhere for him

Nfl is run very different to an NRL club, no team environment, train on your own day in day out and Zero loyalty to the player and this will be big for Hayne as he stayed on with the Eels this year because he felt he owed it to the Eels/ Arthur.

 

[conanu]

Wow, It kind of makes you realise why guys like Choc and others have such a high regard for Brad Arthur. Arthur must really be one of those coaches that you want to stay and play for. NEK MINNIT!!!

Barba = best mates with dce

If it were to happen you could see the thinking

Not to mention Ben's close relationship with the Brookvale faithful.

 

[Loobs]

Not to mention that Barba did 5 minutes of rehab on the Northern Beaches too!

You gotta feel sorry for Parramatta fans, their board is a shambles, best player leaves, former coach leaves for more cash....

 

[the mauler]

Pretty sure he wants to be a safety in NFL.

and for Canberra fans after Sticky publicly, almost triumphantly, declared they were not interested in Josh Hoffman. If Snake goes to Parra there will be a whole load of egg being wiped off their faces.

Sounds like another club I know, can't which one:s

You get a lot of mail. Should change your username to the Postman.

Really? Can Hayne even read, let alone read a QB? This is ridiculous. How big does your ego have to be to think you can do this..?

 

[Shoe1]

Snake will go to parra and manly will sign Ben Barba.

I would support anyone who plays for manly, probably.

The Seahawks? What position would he play there? i'm not coqnvinced it will happen.

---

They have a pretty good RB in Seattle already..

---

He will at best be signed to a practice squad. Otherwise he will sign with the Canadian football league (CFL) to learn the game.

He will likely start off as a kick returner due to his background as a fullback. I believe he would be very good at this due to his speed, power and ability in the open field. If successful he would be best suited to a wide receiver position due to his hight/weight/athleticism. Most comparable to Percy Harvin from the Seahawks, Randell Cobb from the Packers or Devin Hester from the Falcons due to their ability in the open field and versatility on offense. I could see him also playing some limited time at running back or possibly safety on defence.

 

[Shoe1]

Good thing is though that now Parra can pay Choc every cent

---

He can't realistically cut it in the NFL. I'm assuming he'd be a tight end. He has no idea how to read a defence, run routes, nothing. You can't just learn it in an offseason either because there is a fresh crop of college guys coming out who know how to do everything better than he will ever know.

Practice squad pay is 80,000 a year which is probably the best he can hope for at this point. And none of their contracts are guaranteed beyond a signing bonus. Very strange move...

---

I reckon you're right. He'll be so bored & probably lost at sea trying to run interference, rarely handling the ball, block guys. A cog in a machine rather than a creative force. I s'pose it is worth the money though if he gets signed.

If he wants to play soon he will not sign with the Seahawks. That team is stacked. Best chance would be with Cleveland who have virtually no talent at wide receiver, which is the position he most likely would play. Safety is far more complex and very difficult to learn let alone master with no prior experience.

Another honourable contract breaker !

Look, it's perfectly fine if you break a contract as long as you "pen" an "open letter"
