Jarryd Hayne

[DJC]

@DJC...
Seems simple and clear cut when you put it like that.

However, as i showed in my play by play analysis, some of Haynes runs in his first game were nothing runs.
3rd and long situations were the defense is protecting the long ball / first down, they will allow a run that gets a few extra yards but not a first down. It means nothing.

In AFL terms, in being 12 goals up and letting the opposition get a goal in the final minute of a game. Meh.

Yes Kruddler, it's a little like some of the comments passionate supporters make here, and presumably in other forums and about other codes.  They're also calling for the 49ers coach's head

There's a very good analysis of Hayne's demotion and his future prospects by Cam Inman of Fox Sports:

SPARE Jarryd Hayne any pity that his return Monday to the 49ers comes with a demotion to the practice squad.

His NFL dream remains alive, and this will offer him further lessons so he make a true impact next season — or perhaps later this year.

No, he’s not eligible to play in games unless he’s brought back up to the active roster, and any competitor would hate to not suit up on Sundays.

Hayne, all indications are, is OK with this switch because he knows it’s part of his growth process.

He’s been humble and professional since Day 1, and he was that way Saturday when the 49ers waived him. General manager Trent Baalke said Hayne can cope so well because he’s a 27-year old guy who’s spent a decade in the world of professional athletics.

It's definitely worth a read.
