Here's a opportunity, sign hayne after the Olympics on a one year deal. I doubt he'll get back into the nfl after quitting.

You have my vote, Mike. Just one question: isn't Sam our "marquee player"? Jayne would surely want more than we would be allowed to pay?

Its true, under normal circumstances we can't afford him.

However, he's just left the NRL to join Fiji 7s for the olympics, not even being attached to a club side. I very much doubt he's going to hang around in union after the olympics are over. So in these unusual circumstances there is an opportunity to put together a deal that may tempt him to give us a cameo season. I admit, its a long shot, but this is how we've done business before - looking for unusual opportunities and taking advantage. Its why we had all those Melbourne players over here for a bit. And why we ended up with a load of Welsh and London players too.

Highly unlikely, but definitely worth enquiring. You can bet your boots other clubs will be putting 'the feelers' out there.

Hayne doesn't do one year deals or any deals.
He won't hang around long enough to fulfil a one year deal.
As good an idea, no chance!

I don't see any chance that we try to get him, or that NRL teams aren't already finding space for him in 2017.

I remember drooling over the prospect of gasnier signing a few years ago....

It's a bit like me dreaming that England will win the world cup in football. My missus has told me for 35 years I'm dreaming and now I'm a grumpy old man I can see she's been right!
