Hayne clears the air on 'Titans coach feud'

Vodafone Fiji Bati fullback Jarryd Hayne has had the final say on the sacking of Gold Coast Titans coach Neil Henry, insinuating that he was subjected to a media smear campaign generated by leaks from Henry himself.

In an unannounced media appearance prior to training yesterday, Hayne declared that reports of any feud between him and Henry were false, before suggesting that the coach had been leaking information to members of the media since pre‑season.

Henry has denied any suggestion of providing any journalists with information relating to Hayne or of any feud with his fullback, but even in the wake of the coach's departure Hayne couldn't help but express his opinion as to what had transpired.

Meanwhile, Hayne will start for the Titans when they take on the Bulldogs at 5pm Saturday in the NRL.
