Was Hayne right to quit the 49ers and chase Olympic Glory with the Fiji 7s?

You look different there. How did a 49er fan get to follow a team on the other side of the country?

Call me cynical but after reading this article i cant help but think that the reason Fijian Rugby has come calling Jarryd Hayne has more to do with leveraging his "celebrity" status to bring in $$$$ for Fijian Rugby than Jarryd's athelic ability or skills.
Also, I know sfa about rugby 7s or Fijian rugby in general. But some of the guys described sound like phenomenal athletes, their sparq scores would be off the charts. Baalke could do worse than return the favour by shopping for his next project from Fifi.

Said it all along mate, his making the squad wont be based on just what he offers skills wise on the field but what he brings to the team and if that gives them a better chance of winning.
NRL has been poaching them for years, eels signed Radrahdra from Fiji 7's having never played a game of league in his life. Think he played a total of 7 or 8 games of rugby league before he made his NRL debut.

Good chance this is where it all started

I've got a feeling he almost thinks he owes Fiji, he attributes his success to the time spent with Fiji during the 2008 world cup. From what I have read and heard during the 2013 world cup while representing Australia he spent every moment he could with the Fijian squad.

There is no doubt he feels a connection with Fiji but that doesn't make it ok for him to just bail on the 49ers Dream without expecting people would be less then happy with his flakiness .

The Unionists dont like league poaching in their fishing spot, by hayne joining sevens they hope to reroute the interest back to them but i believe its too late and it'll just facilitate the ongoing war of Union and League.

Yep, its not the why but the how that is the hardest as a "fan" to digest.
