    That’s fucked for both England and the Raiders.

    True. I love watching him as a player.

    Mitchell Pearce has signed with Newcastle.

    Such a good signing for them & I'm glad he went there.

    Hayne officially asked for a release too. Titans will have to pay him when he's at Parra now too, after signing him for $1M+ lol. They are pretty much the nu-male of NRL clubs right now.

    It'll be interesting to see how they juggle their spine now. Pearce is obviously halfback and Levi is obviously hooker (or at least bench hooker and playing 60 minutes).. I can't see Ponga playing anywhere other than fullback, which leaves Watson and Lamb to fight out five-eighth with the other either on the bench or reserve grade.

    It's definitely good for the game in general that he went there. Not good for Watson though. He'll go back to bench hooker imo with Lamb at 5/8th.

    Cause the Titans will pay out like 50%+ of his wage.

    Nah rumour has it they're going to make him eat the pay cut as a condition of release.

    Can they do that? NRL has pretty much always forced the clubs to pay the remainder of a player's salary.

  13. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah they can do that. The NRL has forced clubs to do this when they're pushing players out, not when they're just letting them go after they've asked for releases. If both parties agree to just part ways with no payout then that's all cool.

    If Hayne wants the Titans to honour the contact he can force them to by honouring it on his end and playing for them. But if he wants them to grant the release he's going to have to play nice.

    It was different with someone like Farah for example who was quite happy to keep getting his full pay from the Tigers and playing reserve grade if he had to. Tigers decided it'd be better to only pay him half and so agreed to a release.

    There is no way the Titans have to pay any of his contract. He asked to be released. He isn't entitled to jack shit.

    The 'payout'/money that the Titans were paying him that was being talked about in the media was the rumour that Jaryd Hayne wasn't going to tell the Titans he wanted a release until he was due back from off-season early next year.

    Given NRL contracts run from November 1, the Titans have already been paying him and would proceed to pay him for the next 6 weeks until he's due back for pre-season in early January. Then he could sign a 9 month contract with the Eels for exactly the same amount of money as they would've paid him had he requested a release immediately & signed an 11 month contract but he would've also already been paid 2-3 months of his Titans contract.

    Assuming the rumour is true, unfortunately for Hayne it go leaked that he wanted out and had already agreed with Parra to return home.

    Watson is a shit 5/8th and Pearce is shit when he has no support.
