NFL 2016

<p>apparently his dad is Fijian, and if I heard correctly his dad played for the Warriors...</p>

<p>NFL was the bigger dream?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Step into French rugby be the logical choice given Paramatta aint gonna be able to stump up the cash for him!</p> -
<p>He could come to the Warriors if they can cast off Hurrell and open some salary cap space! Though whomever can buy Hurrell would probably be better off just buying Hayne.</p>

<p>An Aussie drug administrator is pointing out Hayne is ineligible for 7s because the NFL is not drug testing compliant with rugby's Olympic requirements.</p> -
<p>surely he can just get tested voluntarily?</p>
-
<p>Hayne will come off the NRL in fucking good shape. But NFL shape. How is he going to get "7s fit" in a couple of months?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is Hayne retiring from the NFL like me retiring from the All Blacks?</p> -

<p>Another NFL player has joined up with USA 7s (with no such qualms) so I think Aussie administrator is talking a load of bullshit. Aussies do that from time to time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm guessing the 49ers would have sat down with Hayne and said he wasn't in their short term or long term future. They have just drafted a pretty talented RB from Florida.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So Hayne got his manager to see if any of the Olympic squads were interested and it was Fiji (thought Aussie would have creamed their jeans over the great and glorious Hayne joining their little tinpot team).</p> -

<p>Nate Ebner moved earlier this year so the 6-month period probably would expire before the Olympics. Is that who you're talking about?</p> -

<p>There's no way the Aussies would take him at this point. They've already ditched Quade, and have clearly opted for a policy of excluding 'ring ins' and picking their established 7s specialists.</p> -

<p>Good on them, sticking to their principals</p> -
Wasn't going to make the playing roster for the NFL, as we've seen the Eels don't have room in the salary cap for him (if they ever did) and this is simply PR. The demands of training and playing 7s is completely at odds with the work he's been doing over the last couple of years for the NRL. He won't be playing for Fiji in London, so they've no idea how well he could play. And it's not like Fiji are desperate for some 7s playing talent this year. Ben Ryan would have to have an aneurysm to select him for Rio without at least one competition under his belt.

<p>He's been named in their squad, so he's a chance of playing. </p> -
Surely he won't be anything like ready for 7s in such a short space of time. And it's not like he's joining the 49ers of 7s, these guys are the farking Denver Broncos.

I hear Hayne has only been practicing laterals during 49ers training camps :)<br><br>
I actually think he'll go alright at 7s. Good luck to him. -
