[Resurrected] Lol @ Parra

So i heard today that parras premiership odds blew out once they signed hayne plane.
Says it all really
 
Couldn't give a fk either way tbh.

Im just wondering when Hayne's 4 week suspension is starting, and who he needs to make the 100k cheque out to.
Soon, Toddy is angrily pacing up and down the halls of NRL HQ demanding blood as we speak I'm sure.....
 
Hayne returned to Parramatta training for the first time in more than three years on Wednesday morning, prepared to front the media amid rape allegations.

Hayne donned the Eels' blue-and-gold colours for the first time since he left the club to pursue a career in the NFL at the end of 2014.

The two-time Dally M medallist completed a time trial run and ran laps at the Eels' training base in front of a throng of cameras and awaiting media in scenes reminiscent of Parramatta's scandal-plagued 2016 season.

However the prodigal son looked a shadow of his peak self, struggling through the fitness portion of the session.

Hayne fell well behind the main pack as the squad were running laps, and didn't take part in a number of sprints afterwards.

Club captain Tim Mannah had to offer Hayne a word of encouragement as the former Titans star was hunched over in exhaustion towards the end of the session.

Hayne has previously been outed as a poor trainer, and he'll need to improve in that regard if he wants to recapture his best form.

The 29-year-old has denied in a written statement claims from a US civil suit he raped a 25-year-old woman in late 2015 during his stint in the NFL.

The media circus surrounding Hayne's every movement will be precisely what low-key coach Brad Arthur would have wanted to avoid when he signed the high-profile player.

The Eels have claimed they were unaware of the allegations when they signed him last month.

Hayne spoke to local investigators after the woman went to the police in May 2016, but the case was rejected by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office in October of that year due to a lack of evidence.

The woman is now pursuing the NSW State of Origin star on claims of sexual battery, gender violence, infliction of emotional distress and negligence.

Hayne was signed in August 2016 by the then-NRL-owned Titans, who have also claimed they were unaware of the investigation at the time.
