Note the similarities between Jarryd Hayne and Buddy Franklin:

Electrifying or absent.
Inconsistent.
Match breakers.

Not surprising to see Parramatta as the Hawthorn of Sydney and vice versa.

Jarryd Hayne quits NRL to pursue NFL career

Date

  •  
&quot;It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, and at my age, this is my one and only chance at having a crack at playing there:&quot; Jarryd Hayne of the Parramatta Eels.

Parramatta superstar Jarryd Hayne is set to take leave from the NRL after being given a conditional release by the Eels to try his hand at NFL.

Hayne, who has withdrawn from the Kangaroos Four Nations squad announced on Tuesday, will tell a press conference at 11am that he has signed a "lifetime agreement" with the Eels so that if he returns to the NRL it will be with Parramatta.

Jarryd Hayne posted Instagram pictures of himself at a Dallas Cowboys NFL game in July.

However, Hayne said he could not let the opportunity to play in the NFL pass him by.

< id="titan-conditionalAd-300x250-pos-3" name="titan-conditionalAd-300x250-pos-3" width="300" height="250" border="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="margin: auto; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: bottom; display: block; height: 250px; width: 300px;">

"For the past 24 months I've been thinking about having a crack in the NFL, and over the last 12 months I've been seriously considering it," Hayne said in a letter to Eels members.

"Today I can officially announce that I will be heading to the  United States to pursue an opportunity to play American Football.

I will be withdrawing from the Kangaroos  Four Nations side immediately, and accepting a conditional release from the Eels to make the move overseas."

The 27-year-old fullback, who had another year to run on his contract with the Eels, recently visited Seattle Seahawks.

He said the reason he did not leave earlier was out of loyalty to coach Brad Arthur.

"The reason I didn't make this decision any earlier was because of the part I played in getting Brad to the club and the way we finished the season. I felt I owed the Club one more year and I gave it everything I could," he said.

"It's always been a dream of mine to play in the NFL, and at my age, this is my one and only chance at having a crack at playing there.

"I'm excited about the potential opportunities that lie ahead. I've known the deadline has been looming for me to make this call, and I believe the right time is now.

"I'm so passionate about the challenge that lies ahead for me, not only as an athlete but more so as a person. It's the hardest decision I have ever had to make in my life.   I'm leaving my teammates, friends, and most importantly my family; but for me to grow as an athlete and a person I feel this is the right step to take.

"It hasn't been an easy decision for me to leave the Eels, the club's been my home and family since I was 13, and I've always been proud to pull on the Blue and Gold jersey with my teammates.

"The hardest thing about leaving the club is there's stability for the first time in a long time, but I know where my heart lies and I'm following that.

"I'm always telling people to chase their dreams and follow their hearts, if I don't live by that I'm not being honest with myself.

"I'm leaving knowing that I have signed a 'lifetime agreement' with the Eels, so if I return to the NRL, it will be to Parramatta."

What position does he think he's going to play? I'm no expert but he'd be too small surely?

 running backs are not all big blokes...

Fair enough. As I say I'm not really an expert on NFL. How fast is he? I know some of those guys are lightning quick. Fast enough to make the Olympics but Football pays too much.

i think you will see him on special teams to start off and move to running options.

most rb's are 5''10 or so.

Unfortunately this fellows all round skills will be a bit wasted in NFL. Not really tall / lanky enough to be a receiver.....definately not a defensive role.....most likely a running back although probably lacking a bit of size. Gifted athlete though that may surprise.... always been great on his feet & had that ability to break tackle....just so much competition over there....look forward to following his quest !

Hayne said he had only one goal in Rugby League, and he has accomplished it. To buy his mother a house. Helluva guy ! Thumbs Up

I think its a brilliant idea. NFL is booming, and if we can get a genuine star to play a position other than kicker, then it will explode even more. Its in a perfect timeslot too for Austarlians compared to following European soccer.
I don't care for league, but will watch his move with interest.

OHHH GOD .

Is this bloke totally delusional.
    There are a million hoping to break into the American scene.
This bloke has had a couple of spurts of reasonable NRL form when fluking Qld in the last Origin but fair dinkum.   He is classes below many others in the NRL today.
He will be laughed at in the USA.   AND BUSTED

Would Haynes get in your top few if you were picking a team tomorrow.
    Is he half as good as Greg Ingliss and many others.
He is a real defence risk.   

How would he share a prize with Thurston [ about 5 grades difference ]

Different game and hard to see how the suite of League skills would translate easily into NFL. But he does not want to die wondering, and he isn't hurting anyone doing it.

Gee's your a tough marker Macca....an absolute stand out at Parra over the last few seasons & at least as good as GI imo . Even so, I also think he will struggle over there & would expect to see him back within 12 mths....hope I am wrong !

As a life long Parra fan I'm glad he has made this decision. The last thing the club needs is to be paying a large chunk of money to a player who has lost motivation for the game.

Hayne is obviously the best local product Parra has had since the glory days but a long way behind players like Kenny, Grothe, and my favourite player of all time Steve Ella.

Personally I'd rather watch paint dry than NFL and know nothing about the game so I don't know how he will go over there. But he want die wondering!

it is amazing the amount of coverage this is getting in the US. i did not even think they had an idea what the sport was and now they are having discussions on all the big shows. pardon the interruption and around the horn were two of my favorite shows when i had the time to watch american sport.

plus footage of hayne and inglis on espn website.

would love to say it would translate to a benefit for the nrl but i doubt it. still great to see

I was thinking local juniors and Sterlo was an import, though the club bought him when he was still at school from memory. He played fullback, would you believe, in the infamous 1978 re-play semi final against Manly which was the first time I can remember him playing 1st grade.

But yes Hayne a long way behind him as well!!!

Come on , get real.
   Haynes is an ok player only and does it in spurts. He can be bad .
wasn't long ago and I doubted him even making a State side.
   Also get real in that NSW were not the best Origin side last year.
Miracle fluke that I was pleased to see for the sake of competition.
At Least as good as Ingliss , YOUR ARE KIDDING
Grades inferior.
   Parramatta have a hundred past players who leave Haynes in their wake.    Sterling was all class , a real football brain and would be regarded as a super player . That won't ever happen to Haynes.
   Haynes is like Mark Gasnier , just short of it.

 something's wrong...I agree with every part of this...Confused...so right...

 Sterlo is the only player I've ever seen play better than the perfect game...11+ out of 10...

 Hayne is just an attacking weapon...Inglis is the whole package...

 I think Hayne's ego is gone amuk...can't really see him even getting a start in special teams...

Mal Maninga would have carried Haynes and still been better.
Underrated workhorse Tate ,in his hey day was a better player than Haynes.    
They will use him for TV viewing in the US as they laugh until their sides ache.

Well you lot have to be kidding.....I don't follow Parra but I give credit were credit is due . Mark Gasnier.....show pony ! Talk about blokes only turning up to play when it suits them.....GI who ! And to suggest Haynes is suspect in defence is outrageous ! Question....how good would Hayne look playing behind a decent backline.....Souths or Manly say . The guy is a superstar....& good luck to him !
