Jarryd Hayne continues NFL training in Sydney.

LMFAO... that's a nice tight spiral and catch at the 27 sec mark

That was lol funny.. Hanye in the background would've hoped that last bit didn't make the news. Kinda showed the elite company he was in.

Lol. Some very clever editor somewhere, who like most of us has had enough of this saga threw that bit in at the end for laughs.

I salute that man.

Yep. I applaud the man for giving it a crack, but realistically he's got next to no chance.

There's a guy that sits near me at work and he's the epitome of the aussie bogan and a big fan boy (read: homer) of Jarryd Hayne. Every time he (Hayne) gets a mention in the news, he walks up to me all proud and chest puffed out saying 'see, I told you he would make it'. Made what you idiot? It's a futures contract, he hasn't made the squad. Come and see me in September when he suits up for the Lions and plays a down then we'll talk

Oh I don't salute Hayne. I salute the editor who put that footage in at the end of the video. I give him props for trying but I think it is arrogance on his part too. My brother seems to think Hayne will make it and as much as my brother is an idiot he does know his NFL. I don't think Hayne has a chance. He can't play structured enough for NFL. I also don't think he can handle the shots he will take from the defence. I can't see him being too keen to take one up the middle right into the D-Line.

That being said I expect a big influx of Lions merch to hit our shores

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne close to signing Detroit Lions deal, but still wanted in San Francisco

Oh god...

Well, you know what, I would love for that to happen if it increases the chances of the 49ers coming out here for a preseason game. We haven't had one since 1999 when Jim Harbaugh (ex-49ers Head Coach) was the QB for the Chargers and Pat Summerall (the BEST commentator in all of sports EVER - RIP) graced our fine shores. Oh, and who could forget Shannon 'Want Some Whine With That Cheese' Sharpe

Get stuffed!

You know what's going to shit me, when I'm walking around in my Niners hat which I've worn for the last 20 years, or t-shirt, or lunch bag and thermos that I take to work, or driving around in my car with Niners stickers on it and someone saying to me "Hayne's fan?" F... off!

Just think of all the merchandise that will flood into the country now

and the bandwagon fans

[Starscream77]

I say good on him
I am a die hard Eels fan but not a fan of Hayne as a human but he is a special athlete
But I don't jump on wagons... Chicago all the way, da Bears!
