Strange. Ability to run in an open field and to take a snap and run through gaps designed by the O-line are two different things.

haha.... the fastest slow white guy on the rugby team..
being chased by a bunch of slow <300lb white guys?
good luck breaking a tackle or running past this:

Yeah, I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening. However, Pete Carroll began introducing rugby-type tackling for high school, college and pro athletes to reduce the amount of concussions so if anything this guy might be very effective if somewhere on defense.

Wait til he meets JJ Watt

I don't know shit about sports, but hes going to get destroyed.
good luck getting past a bunch of guys that look like this

NFL is so precise and timing is everything. It doesn't translate well going from Rugby which is more open to NFL. A couple fumbles and he's on the bench.

Chris Cormier?

Dude walked away from 1 mil a year to earn nothing being a bench warmer. Strange call.
-
This isn't unusual, professional teams sign great athletes from other sports that's never played the sport that they were drafted to all the time. The idea is their talent will translate well. Can't think of a better comparison of skill set than Rugby & Football, makes sense to me.

he runs upright with his chest forward in traffic.
sandlot football star
he'd be a good option back in college.
maybe he should play university ball for one year before the nfl
does the nfl still have that european development league?
LBS will make him quite.

could be worse. You could be a swimmer hanging around a bunch of men in thongs...oh wait!

even if he gets beaten and washes out, he'll still be THE rugby guy that had a turn in the NFL. and it might work, ya never know. He's a world class athlete, the best at what he does. I'd certainly say he has as much chance at success as the top 5 RBs drafted this year.

With pads these NFL players, some built like tanks get hits equlivalent to a mack truck and are taken out.

that's where coaching comes in. Antonio Gates of the chargers played basketball, switched to football for the NFL after realizing he wouldn't make the NBA. Shaq, Dave Winfield & numerous others got drafter by various NFL teams. Iverson got drafted to play in MLB. Several teams were interested in Bolt after the 2012 Olympics.
Rugby players & fans always point out that they don't wear pads, they also don't hit as hard as the NFL guys either.

TA really hates football. He must of had the crap beat out of him when he was a kid during a flag football game.

Very good rugby player, can't see him making much impact in the NFL though. The sports are a lot more different than they appear.

He is Australian, amazing rugby league player but clearly delusional. best case scenario is he fumbles his way out of the league.
Worst case is he gets injured and cannot even go and make money back in Australia.
-
He isn't on the team yet. He is guaranteed $100,000 to come to the US and go through tryouts. $100,000 for the San Francisco 49er's is $5 to you and me.
It's a nice publicity stunt for the 8-8 49er's. Nothing more.

9ers are a dumpster fire. They ran a coach out of town who was something like 45-15 and took them to 3 nfc championship games and a super bowl. The football gods will not smile on you again for a long long time. We will see the "we believe" signs again soon... :D

Rugby and rugby league are different sports. Can one american sports outlet get that part of the story correct eventually?
And most NFL players would gas out in 5 minutes of rugby league. No breaks in play unless someone gets knocked out.
-
Rugby players are on their feet in attack and defense for two 40 minute half's. Overall they are easily better athletes. NFL players have specialized skills which make it very difficult for rugby players to crossover. They just wont be good enough to compete (kicking and punting being the exception)
If there was one rugby player who could have dominated the NFL its this beast.
Jonah Lomu. 6ft5, 280lb and ran 100m in 10.6 seconds

Rugby is a slow game with crap hits. Kiwi's love it because they dominate it's fucking boring with penalties for who knows what every 30 seconds.
Rugby League is much faster and harder with the biggest hits around. Hayne dominates at the top level in State of Origin. A few months ago everyone said on here he wouldn't get this far. Maybe he goes no further but he is a freak. What he did in 2009 was unbelievable, taking the team from almost last to the Grand Final winning 8 straight just to make the finals and teams having no idea what to do against him. Worth a shot. I think he's even on 1.2m here the salary cap is 6m and the Eels boss said he freed up 20% of his cap by leaving. Sounds like a love the guy but he's an absolute freak and doesn't even play for my team, just great to watch.

league players could teach NFL guys how to hit properly with the shoulder too. Leading with your head is just plain dumb.

Like I said. Pete Carroll either last year or the year before implemented teaching rugby tackling techniques to his team and is starting to make it league wide to help avoid helmet to helmet. High Schools started (at least the ones in our league) have been using it. It's just as effective and the injury rates have been lower.

i love how the muricans thinks that no one can play american football
unless they are 100 lbs overweight juiced to the gills
and cant count to potato
this guy is being tackled without body armour by 250 lb samoan wrecking machines
he will laugh in the face of these fat armoured nancy boys
-
To think he won't be able to take a hit is laughable. Rugby doesn't have any protection. Most of the guys who play can run without needing oxygen tanks and are strong as fuck.
Whether he will be any good is another matter...
-
NFL aint what it use to be when the rugby players from the early 90s tried out
now its just great athletes playing a pussy game where there is barely any big hits and you can barely touch your opponent without getting
penalized.
all he has to do is catch the ball and run while stepping which isnt all that hard considering thats what he has been doing his whole life. he might get
smashed occasionally but once again he has been doing it his whole life he will get up and shake it off
-
Amd the rugby crowd comes crawling out. The no-pads nonsense is laughable. The hits in rugby are nowhere near what they are in the NFL. CTE, look it up.
In his highlight reel the vast makority of "tackles" were pathetic attempts at arm tacking that looked lids on a playground. That uproght style is going to get him smashed. He is used to outrunning slow white guys, in comparison to the NFL.
Might make a team as a novelty/return guy. Nothing more.

"Big hit" in rugby is a very avg tackle in the NFL. And since this guy was a superstar in rugby he should dominate. And it's our third rate athletes playing rugby, hoss. If we wanted to we would dominate it like every other sport that matters.

Take out the brothas and I would be in the NBA or NFL. Lol. Plus I just love the football vs rugby arguments on here. Always classics. And I actually played a little rugby. Hitting wasnt that bad, but the cardio needed was brutal.
-
The guy runs in the 4.5+ range hand-timed (so probably more like 4.6) and upright, and has never played a down of football. His "dream" is going to come to an abrupt end quite quickly. Basically a high-profile camp body.

It's not fucking Rugby dickhead. Rugby has no big hits it's a joke. Rugby LEAGUE is totally different. Rugby is the 4th ranked ball sport in Australia for a reason, it's fucking shit compared to what else there is even AFL shits on it and that's saying a lot. Go watch a real game of league his highlight reel is showing what he can do when he makes breaks.

Amd the rugby crowd comes crawling out. The no-pads nonsense is laughable. The hits in rugby are nowhere near what they are in the NFL.
The reason the hits in the NFL are harder is strongly down to the padding. Take the protective armour away, and the players wouldn't be able to hit each other nearly as hard due to risk of getting injured themselves in the process.
If we wanted to we would dominate it like every other sport that matters.
What sport does America dominate? BB possibly? :D
The top sports in America are all insular ones that are barely watched, let alone played outside the continent. Therefore, America's dominance in them is irrelevant as Ireland's dominance of Gaelic football.

I don't get why USA is considered objectively "bad" at soccer.
Sure we don't win the World Cup or have a major pro league and almost always lose when we play one of the top European or South American teams. That is true of nearly every country.
We do make the WC pretty much every cup and often advance to the knockout stage. How many countries can say that? Many with even larger populations don't do this.

Looks like a whole lotta grab-ass to me. And this guy is going to get smoked. Check back in after a couple of preseason games. If he makes it that far.

Still a way to go, but more than held his own in his debut:
http://espn.go.com/blog/san-francisco-49ers/post/_/id/14403/australian-rugby-star-jarryd-hayne-puts-on-a-show-for-49ers-in-nfl-preseason-debut (http://espn.go.com/blog/san-francisco-49ers/post/_/id/14403/australian-rugby-star-jarryd-hayne-puts-on-a-show-for-49ers-in-nfl-preseason-debut)
Jarryd Hayne, the Australian import who is trying to make the transition to an NFL player, stood out for the San Francisco 49ers in their preseason opener, excelling as a running back, punt returner and kick returner with the second-team units. Here are some quick thoughts on the Niners’ 23-10 loss to the Texans:
A surprise player who looks amazing:An entire continent roared when Hayne put on a show. He broke off a 53-yard run from scrimmage, had punt returns of 11 and 13 yards and also returned the second half-opening kickoff to the 26-yard line after fielding it eight yards deep. He finished with 120 total yards (5 rushes for 63 yards, two punt returns for 24 yards and one kickoff return for 33 yards).

Stepping around those slow hebrews like nothing.

Hayne looked impressive... Still preseason, but impressive none the less.

August preseason was the general consensus on Hayne's demise back when this thread first popped up
Whatever happens from now he has already shown gifted athletic genetics don't stop at the 'merican border
Don't see why that is such a shock

If American football was actually a global sport that was played and watched across the world - than the majority of players in the NFL would be born outside the US.
-
Coach and co are surprisingly silent on this thread recently.
Have to admit, I had my doubts. Guys putting in good shifts so far.
-
he gets the ball and runs with side steps and fends almost every rugby league player can do that
-
Hayne has had to return the ball maybe a thousand times in professional rugby league and the rule is when you kick in league, you present a line of defenders - you don't rush in 1 at a time because you'll get cut up by the fullback (which hayne was), who is always a player that will exploit staggered defences.
I like the NFL but fans seem to put so much emphasis on raw athleticism. You can read it in this thread. People talking about the size of people who will tackle him. His height, his weight. So little talk about what really matters - what he can do in a professional environment. Ability to create. Nobody ever really talks much about size and shit like that in league when you're talking about people who are there to break the line.
Honestly, I find it embarrassing how both countries are handling him. Australian media are just being dicks and devaluing their entire sport and US media are looking like idiots for being surprised by shit like this. Fuck, there are plenty of people in rugby who can handle special teams tacklers presenting themselves one by one to tackle the ball handler.
-
This guy would be a killer returner. He is faster, lighter on his feet than Hayne.
Doesn't have the creativity or vision as hayne,though.

Has looked good and will make the team seemingly but let's hold off on the "he will be a star, lol American "football" ::)" conclusions until he's doing it in regular season. Most of these guys he's making look foolish will be cut or practice squad players.

My thoughts align more with this gentleman right here. ^^

Bugs me how much pressure this dude is getting.
It won't be long before people realise you can't rush him with single players. In that gif above you can see the tackler has made the decision for him. If the tackler slows up a little, he risks getting taken out the blocker but Hayne can't make a decision until he is sure which way he needs to go to make space for himself. In rugby, there are no blockers - you cannot interfere with tacklers so that tackler would be free to be a hell of a lot less all in about their tackle. Basically, in rugby, if someone pulled a kick chase like that defender, he'd be off the field quick smart. That's why it is pretty fun to watch these NFL returns. So much less structure.
-
He'll be in the last group cut. Australian viewership isn't a coveted market but maybe there's a spot on the practice squad for him at 75k/year.

So what , he'll never make a team .
I listen to these guys , they know their shit
haha.... the fastest slow white guy on the rugby team..
being chased by a bunch of slow <300lb white guys?
good luck breaking a tackle or running past this:

Yeah, I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening. However, Pete Carroll began introducing rugby-type tackling for high school, college and pro athletes to reduce the amount of concussions so if anything this guy might be very effective if somewhere on defense.
I don't know shit about sports, but hes going to get destroyed.
good luck getting past a bunch of guys that look like this

NFL is so precise and timing is everything. It doesn't translate well going from Rugby which is more open to NFL. A couple fumbles and he's on the bench.
he runs upright with his chest forward in traffic.
sandlot football star
he'd be a good option back in college.
maybe he should play university ball for one year before the nfl
does the nfl still have that european development league?
LBS will make him quite.
Egos bigger than his brain, should have stayed in rugby he wont make the final playing roster, back in rugby next year at the latest.
He is Australian, amazing rugby league player but clearly delusional. best case scenario is he fumbles his way out of the league.
Worst case is he gets injured and cannot even go and make money back in Australia.
No.
We get it, you and TA hate football.
But this guy will be in the bottom percentile of NFL athletes
Just delusional. That guy couldn't make the team on a Division I college team. NFL players are explosively strong and the top of the food chain.
6'2" 228 ? Lol. More like 5'11" 240 He is a toad who will get smoked in the NFL. Can't wait to see him beheaded in preseason.
Probably on some slow, awkward cut back move where he looks completely out of place in comparison to the other 21 men on the field.
Yep. Can you imagine that uprght style? Most battles are won by who gets their pads lower. And he will be a marked man.
We all know how this ends.
Supposed Euro Rugby "God" tries to compete with the Americans. Touches the ball 8 times. Gets injured. NFL Career Over. The End.
I have to remember to bump this thread in August when it takes place.
Amd the rugby crowd comes crawling out. The no-pads nonsense is laughable. The hits in rugby are nowhere near what they are in the NFL. CTE, look it up.
In his highlight reel the vast makority of "tackles" were pathetic attempts at arm tacking that looked lids on a playground. That uproght style is going to get him smashed. He is used to outrunning slow white guys, in comparison to the NFL.
Might make a team as a novelty/return guy. Nothing more.

I dunno why people see it fit to make a judgement before seeing some proof. Got a lot of respect for what the NFL is but a lot of the fans just look at the numbers. All they give a shit about is how much the dude weighs and how tall he is ::)
I know there are probably people on both sides making lame judgements about "which sport is tougher", but a balanced judgement is that both sports have an elite level that is constantly evolving to the athleticism and talent of the human beings on the field AND the requirements of the game. There isn't going to be massive difference between the two. On the rugby field, you often have to perform for 80 minutes out of 95, which means you need to last and it lends to lower bodyweights. On the NFL field, you use that unneeded endurance in explosiveness.
It's not surprising that a dude who has had a career of returning and running through lines for 80 minutes (with small halftime break) can adjust his training to be more explosive and do okay on an NFL field.
Also, not to discount his talent, but NFL seems to have really fucking low standards for kick returns. Every professional rugby league team on the planet plays a player at the back who will punish a broken defensive line on a kick ::)

This guy is a flat out badass on the field..

this is a prime example of how NFL players should be using their shoulder to tackle and not their heads. this guy has no helmet on and is slamming people with his shoulder on offense and defense.

this kid looks like one of those pacific island beasts that get recruited into the NFL on occasion
turns out his dad is from FIJI
-
Hayne made the 53 man roster.
-
:D

:D
That's cold.

Anxiously awaiting the day when a fat fuck of a lineman tries out in rugby league. Heart attack in less than 3 minutes, I bet.
-
JJ watt would be an amazing forward, there's countless names that would be incredible to see switch
-
Guy needs to go back to basics...like catching a ball.
-
He's just been released, shame they didn't have a bit more patience

And I'm anxiously awaiting the day a marathon runner enters into a powerlifting meet.
Or a pie making champion enters a bass fishing contest.
What's your point? It's comparing apples to oranges.

So what , he'll never make a team .

Appreciate the shout out bro! ;D

Clearly it was not, if the first well known league player who bothers to try it can get a serious shot in the NFL after only a few months specialising. He's left millions of american hopefuls behind him. Not bad for a first attempt.

Meh.
People were fawning all over him during preseason but as I stated earlier that is a completely different ballgame.
The guys he was making those plays against in pre season aren't even in the league right now so when it's all said and done he really didn't do anything against legit NFL competition.
They put him as a return guy which is generally designated for the 4th or 5th receiver/running back on the team. Really nothing special at all. I'll give him props for hanging around at the very bottom of the roster for half a season but that's really about it.
I think "not bad" might sum it up but I'll also say "not really good" either.

The difference wasn't pre-season lineups versus regular season lineups. It was the fact that he muffed three punt returns in the regular season versus zero in the preseason. Any punt returner who can't catch punts without fumbling is on the short track to the unemployment line. You had one job....

Pretty much sums it all up.

Ironically, SF had given him a tryout because they actually thought he could contribute, not just to satisfy the phag agenda.
-
Two SF running backs injured in today's game. Will Hayne be back by Monday?
-
Hayne is a freak you've already seen what he can do. He just needs the ball. You get him the ball 15-20 times a game shit is going to happen.
So he made 2 fumbles different ball bit more stress on him, early nerves. The guy can break tackles easily and can make yards. He did the best punt return the 49ers had seen in 2 years and they dropped him? You should see the fans on their facebook page they want blood for that.
