Dragons reported to have offered Hayne a one‑year, $500,000 contract

NRL’s ST George Illawarra Dragons has reportedly offered Jarryd Hayne a one‑year, $500,000 contract.

The former NFL running back remains unsigned for the 2019 season, just over two weeks out from his scheduled return to pre‑season training with the Eels.

Parramatta CEO Bernie Gurr has this week spoken publicly about his club’s desire to retain Hayne, but admits the club still has work to do before it can officially offer Hayne a contract for 2019.

Hayne has commented on social media that he remains committed to the Eels, but the Dragons have already forced a window open to recruit the former NSW State of Origin star.

The Sydney Morning Herald and Channel 9 have reported that the Dragons believe they can offer a $500,000 a year deal to the former NSW and Australia outside back for next season.
