'''Jarryd Lee Hayne''' (born 1988) is an Australian  semi-professional [[rugby league]] footballer who plays for [[Wentworthville Magpies]] in the [[Ron Massey Cup]]. He briefly moved to the US to play the running back position for San Francisco 49ers in the 2015 NFL season. In 2016 he represented Fiji 7s in rugby union sevens.

Hayne began his career in 2006 as a {{rlp|wg}}er for the [[Parramatta Eels]], winning the [[National Rugby League|NRL]]'s Dally M Rookie of the Year award. The following year, he made his debut for [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] in [[State of Origin series|State of Origin]] and {{rlnt|Australia}} internationally, and began playing primarily as a {{rlp|fb}}. Hayne won the [[Dally M Medal]] in 2009 and 2014 as the league's player of the year, and the [[Rugby League International Federation]]'s [[RLIF Awards#International Player of the Year|International Player of the Year]] award in 2009. He represented Australia at the [[2013 Rugby League World Cup]], and his father's native {{rlnt|Fiji}} at the [[2008 Rugby League World Cup|2008]] and [[2017 Rugby League World Cup|2017 tournaments]] when not selected for Australia.

Hayne attracted significant attention when he made the switch from one of the NRL's top players to a rookie with the [[San Francisco 49ers]] in the [[2015 NFL season]]. At the end of the season, Hayne ended his NFL career. In 2016, he represented {{nrut7|Fiji}} in rugby union sevens, but after not being selected for the [[Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament|2016 Olympic]] squad, he returned to the NRL with the [[Gold Coast Titans]] before a final season with Parramatta in 2018.

== Background ==
Hayne was born in [[Sydney, New South Wales]], Australia, in 1988. He is the son of a Fijian father, [[Manoa Thompson]], and an Australian mother, Jodie Hayne. His father played professional rugby league for South Sydney, Western Suburbs and the Auckland Warriors while also representing Fiji. Hayne was one of three children raised by his single mother, and grew up in a [[Campbelltown, New South Wales|Campbelltown]] [[Public housing in Australia|housing-commission]] house in [[Minto, New South Wales]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/just-a-boy-from-minto-why-jarryd-hayne-cried-during-the-announcement-20141015-116apu.html |title=Just a boy from Minto: Why Jarryd Hayne cried during the announcement |last=Begley |first=Patrick |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=15 October 2014 |access-date=9 April 2015 |archive-date=1 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150401042436/http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/just-a-boy-from-minto-why-jarryd-hayne-cried-during-the-announcement-20141015-116apu.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

In early life, Hayne took up athletics winning multiple titles. He still holds the under 8- and under 9-year-old Public School Sports Association (PSSA) 100 metre records.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/macarthur/hayne-plane-still-holds-junior-athletics-100m-age-records/story-fngr8ifg-1226713340916 |title=NEWSLOCAL.

Hayne attended school at John Warby Public School, Leumeah High and [[Westfields Sports High School]] but dropped out of high school early to pursue a career in rugby league.{{cn|date=June 2025}}

==Rugby league career==
Hayne began playing junior rugby league for [[Campbelltown City Kangaroos|Campbelltown City]], [[Campbelltown Eagles|East Campbelltown]] and [[Cabramatta Two Blues|Cabramatta]] at the age of six.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

===2000s===
Hayne made his NRL debut with the Parramatta Eels at 18 years of age on 19 May 2006 against the [[Penrith Panthers]] at [[CUA Stadium]]. [[Jason Taylor (rugby league)|Jason Taylor]], who was making his first grade coaching debut, chose him on the wing.

[[File:Jarryd Hayne (10 August 2008).jpg|thumb|left|Hayne playing for Parramatta in 2008.]]
He started the season at centre but later moved to fullback due to an injury to [[Luke Burt]] and scored 12 tries, including the winning try against the [[New Zealand Warriors]] in the First Qualifying Final of the [[National Rugby League season 2007|2007]] NRL Finals series. Following Parramatta's close victory against [[Brisbane Broncos|Brisbane]] in July [[National Rugby League season 2007|2007]], Hayne was accused of [[Diving (association football)|diving]] to impede Brisbane's momentum after a heavy hit from [[Sam Thaiday]]. Then Brisbane coach [[Wayne Bennett (rugby league)|Wayne Bennett]] said "You talk about ethics in our sport. You talk about not laying [sic] on the ground" and then claimed Hayne should be cited for "bringing the game into disrepute." Hayne denied that he dived to deliberately impede Brisbane's momentum and claimed that he was genuinely hurt after the collision with Thaiday. He was never found guilty of any wrongdoing by the [[NRL Judiciary]].<ref>{{cite news |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=7 September 2007 |url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22124147-5001023,00.html |title=Bennett Accuses Hayne of Diving |first=Dean |last=Ritchie |date=24 July 2007 |archive-date=18 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080518234723/http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22124147-5001023,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In the [[National Rugby League season 2007#Grand final|2007 Grand Final]] qualifier, Hayne was again accused of diving when he stayed down and received a penalty for a high shot. Players also accused Hayne of winking after the incident, [[Clint Newton]] saying "To lay down like he did and then get up and wink, I don't think that's in the spirit of the game. Straight after he got up, he winked at [[Dallas Johnson]] – facing us."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22469399-14823,00.html |title=Victors dub Hayne wink a 'low act' |newspaper=Herald Sun |access-date=3 October 2007 |first=Steve |last=Mascord |date=24 September 2007}}</ref>  Hayne denied the accusations, saying, "I don't engage in that shit, I just score tries and make people happy".

Before the start of the 2008 season, Hayne was on a night out with St George player [[Mark Gasnier]] when a fight broke out between them and another group.  Hayne and Gasnier were subsequently shot at by a gunman in a passing taxi.  In the coming years, Hayne has said that the shooting incident changed his life and was a turning point in his career.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.smh.com.au/news/national/gunman-fires-at-hayne-and-gasnier-in-kings-cross/2008/03/03/1204402312130.html |title=Gunman fires at Hayne and Gasnier in Kings Cross |date=3 March 2008 |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |access-date=5 July 2018 |archive-date=5 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705175556/https://www.smh.com.au/news/national/gunman-fires-at-hayne-and-gasnier-in-kings-cross/2008/03/03/1204402312130.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/is-jarryd-haynes-rugby-league-career-coming-to-an-end/news-story/3227ac328126eb357a5a096ae17b598f |title=Is this the end for Jarryd Hayne? |first=James |last=Matthey |work=News.com.au |date=26 June 2018 |access-date=5 July 2018 |archive-date=5 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180705154131/https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/is-jarryd-haynes-rugby-league-career-coming-to-an-end/news-story/3227ac328126eb357a5a096ae17b598f |url-status=live }}</ref>

Parramatta announced Hayne had signed with the club for a $2M extension. On 15 September, he was officially announced as Rugby League's fastest man, after becoming the highest placed league player in the Gatorade Bolt, although other noted league speedsters such as [[David Mead (rugby league)|David Mead]], [[Michael Jennings (rugby league)|Michael Jennings]], [[Brett Stewart (rugby league)|Brett Stewart]] and [[Kevin Gordon]] did not participate.

[[File:Jarryd Hayne 2009.jpg|thumb|right|Hayne playing for Parramatta in 2009]]
At the start of the [[2009 NRL season]], Hayne played at {{rlp|fe}} with very limited success. Hayne was moved back to his preferred position of fullback just before the round 8 clash with the North Queensland Cowboys. His return to form at {{rlp|fb}} prompted Dean Ritchie of ''[[The Daily Telegraph (Sydney)|Daily Telegraph]]'' to call Hayne "the most gifted Parramatta player since the great [[Brett Kenny]]."<ref name="Play Jarryd Hayne at fullback for Origin">{{cite news |newspaper=Daily Telegraph |date=28 June 2009 |url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/sport/nrl/story/0,26799,25702966-5006066,00.html |title=Play Jarryd Hayne at fullback for Origin |access-date=7 July 2009 |first=Dean |last=Ritchie |publisher=News Limited |archive-date=2 July 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090702190748/http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/sport/nrl/story/0,26799,25702966-5006066,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Hayne's performances for Parramatta stepped up to another level as the 2009 season progressed. His influence on the game from fullback was lauded by many pundits as the Eels made a late season surge. From Round 19 to Round 24, he won six consecutive Man of the Match awards. He was described as "the best player in any code of football in Australia" by [[Phil Gould (rugby league)|Phil Gould]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/phil-gould/2009/08/22/1250362254874.html |title=A kid shows he's fit to be king |first=Phil |last=Gould |newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=23 August 2009 |publisher=Fairfax Media |access-date=23 August 2009 |archive-date=23 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090823230956/http://www.smh.com.au/news/lhqnews/phil-gould/2009/08/22/1250362254874.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Hayne has won the [[Dally M Awards|Dally M Medals]] for ''Player of the Year'' and ''Fullback of the Year'' respectively. He became one of the youngest winners of the prestigious award and only the second fullback in history to be crowned Dally M ''Player of the Year''. Hayne escaped a grade two charge after coming into contact with the head of [[Bryson Goodwin]], sliding in with his knees to stop Goodwin in the act of scoring a try during the Preliminary Final against the [[Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs]]. Hayne pleaded guilty to a grade one charge, however a grade two charge would have resulted in Hayne missing the [[2009 NRL Grand Final]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/sport/jarryd-hayne-matthew-keating-free-to-play-nrl-grand-final/story-e6frg7mf-1225780087708 |title=Jarryd Hayne, Matthew Keating free to play NRL grand final |first=Brent |last=Read |newspaper=[[The Australian]] |date=27 September 2009 |publisher=News Limited}}</ref>

Hayne's  performance for the [[Parramatta Eels]] in the 2009 grand final against the [[Melbourne Storm]] was largely viewed in Australian and New Zealand media as disappointing. Journalist Josh Massoud, writing for ''[[The Daily Telegraph (Sydney)|The Daily Telegraph]]'' wrote, "For reasons only known to the god he recently discovered, Eels superstar Hayne failed to contest the ball." Prior to the game the media focused much on Hayne's match-up with the Melbourne Storm fullback [[Billy Slater]] which was touted as "one of the most anticipated individual match-ups in Grand Final history". Phil Gould said "Hayne was just shut out of the game, his performance wasn't actually that bad".

Hayne's 2009 season has since been described as one of the greatest individual seasons in Australian rugby league history.<ref>{{cite news |last=Middleton |first=David |title=Ten of the most dominant seasons in rugby league history from historian David Middleton |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/ten-of-the-greatest-seasons-in-rugby-league-history-according-to-historian-david-middleton/story-fni3fbgz-1226729899765 |access-date=6 February 2014 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |date=30 September 2013 |archive-date=1 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131001035320/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/ten-of-the-greatest-seasons-in-rugby-league-history-according-to-historian-david-middleton/story-fni3fbgz-1226729899765 |url-status=live }}</ref>  Such was the euphoria surrounding Parramatta's run to the 2009 grand final that the then NSW Premier [[Nathan Rees]] pledged to name one of the new trains which were due to be rolled out next year on The Sydney network "The Hayne Train" if Parramatta were to have won the match.  The train was to be painted blue and gold and run on the western line.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/meet-the-wags-who-kept-the-parramatta-eels-hopes-alive/news-story/79f3a813cb39ce7dc81460253f58a180?sv=f329a5e3720a58d0cff90780b3d5ed4d |title=Meet the WAGs who kept the Parramatta Eels' hopes alive |first1=Amy |last1=Dale |first2=Joe |last2=Hildebrand |work=The Courier-Mail |date=1 October 2009}}</ref>

For the [[2010 ANZAC Test]], Hayne was selected to play for [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]] on the wing in their victory against [[New Zealand national rugby league team|New Zealand]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/league/league-kiwis-test-hopes-may-lie-halves |title=League: Kiwis' test hopes may lie in halves |publisher=[[Otago Daily Times]] |date=14 May 2010 |access-date=11 February 2023}}</ref>

Being named as co-captain of Parramatta in 2013, Hayne has had an impressive season, particularly with regards to his goal line defence. This earned him a call up for New South Wales in the first game of the 2013 Origin Series at his preferred position of fullback after incumbent [[Brett Stewart (rugby league)|Brett Stewart]] was injured. Hayne scored the first try of the series for NSW and was instrumental once again in their only victory of the series.

In 2014 Hayne started the season with his most consistent display of rugby league, leading the Dally M medal rankings after 10 Rounds. He was selected for [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] in his favoured fullback position for Game One of the [[2014 State of Origin series]]. He produced a man of the match performance, setting up one try and scoring one to deliver New South Wales a 12–8 win in Brisbane and a 1–0 series lead. During the annual 2014 players poll, where 100 players from the 16 clubs are interviewed, Hayne was voted as 'best in the game,' the first NSW player since Andrew Johns won the honour in 2006. In Round 22 of the season, playing against the Canberra Raiders, Hayne scored another 50m solo try to bring up his 100th career try. He became only the third player behind Luke Burt and Brett Kenny to score 100 tries for Parramatta. In Round 23 of the season Hayne topped his 2006 try scoring effort, reaching his 18th for the season against the Bulldogs. Hayne finished the season as the NRL's leading try-scorer with 20 for the season. On 29 September 2014, on the Dally M Awards night, Hayne and North Queensland Queensland Cowboys [[Captain (sports)|captain]] Johnathan Thurston were the joint winners of the 2014 Dally M Player of the Year Award after the most thrilling countdown in the award's history.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nrl.com/thurston,-hayne-share-dally-m-medal/tabid/10874/newsid/82257/default.aspx |title=Thurston, Hayne share Dally M Medal |work=NRL - The official site of the National Rugby League - NRL.com |access-date=1 October 2014 |archive-date=26 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150126050505/http://www.nrl.com/thurston,-hayne-share-dally-m-medal/tabid/10874/newsid/82257/default.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref> For Hayne, it is his second Dally M Player of the Year award following his win in 2009 and also claimed the Fullback of the Year and Best Representative Player awards, respectively.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/dally-m-2014-johnathan-thurston-jarryd-hayne-named-first-joint-winners-20140929-10nq4s.html |title=Dally M 2014: Johnathan Thurston, Jarryd Hayne named first joint winners |work=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=29 September 2014 |access-date=1 October 2014 |archive-date=30 September 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140930031745/http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/dally-m-2014-johnathan-thurston-jarryd-hayne-named-first-joint-winners-20140929-10nq4s.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

====Return to league====
On 2 August 2016, after his time in American football and rugby sevens, it was announced that Hayne would be returning to the NRL,  signing a two-year contract with the [[Gold Coast Titans]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-03/jarryd-hayne-signs-for-gold-coast-titans-available-sunday/7684316?section=sport |title=Reluctant Hayne available to play on Sunday after signing for Titans |date=3 August 2016 |publisher=ABC |access-date=5 August 2016 |archive-date=6 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806063129/http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-03/jarryd-hayne-signs-for-gold-coast-titans-available-sunday/7684316?section=sport |url-status=live }}</ref> His contract was touted to be as worth as much as $1.2 million a season, the most any NRL player has been paid in one year.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/nrl/jarryd-hayne-to-sign-for-gold-coast-titans-in-one-of-biggest-deals-in-nrl-history-20160803-gqjnqa.html |title=Jarryd Hayne signs for Gold Coast Titans in one of biggest deals in NRL history |first=Adrian |last=Proszenko |date=3 August 2016 |work=Brisbane Times |access-date=6 July 2018 |archive-date=12 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612185144/https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sport/nrl/jarryd-hayne-to-sign-for-gold-coast-titans-in-one-of-biggest-deals-in-nrl-history-20160803-gqjnqa.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Hayne made himself available for immediate selection and made his debut for the Titans against the [[New Zealand Warriors]] on 7 August 2016. In Round 22, in his second game back, Hayne kicked the match-winning field goal in the Titans' 19–18 victory over the [[Wests Tigers]]. The win catapulted the Titans into a rare finals berth against Brisbane, resulting in a 44–28 loss in week one of the finals.

In the [[2017 NRL season]], Hayne was involved in a long running [[player-coach]] feud with Gold Coast coach [[Neil Henry]]. In an interview, Hayne declared he was willing to walk away from the club if Henry does not want him. He claimed the coach had stopped talking to him.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gold Coast star Jarryd Hayne says he's willing to walk away from Titans if coach Neil Henry doesn't want him|url=https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/jarryd-hayne-says-he-will-walk-away-from-titans-if-gold-coast-coach-neil-henry-doesnt-want-him/b62cd6bf-eb68-4046-af0e-8d72c72d6255|access-date=2021-03-29|website=wwos.nine.com.au|date=12 August 2017 |language=en}}</ref> After months of media speculation and poor performances on the field by Hayne and the rest of the Gold Coast side the board had an emergency meeting to discuss the future of Hayne and Henry.

===Representative rugby league===

====Debut====
Hayne made his representative rugby league debut for the Australian [[Prime Minister's XIII]] on 30 September 2006 against [[Papua New Guinea national rugby league team|Papua New Guinea]] at [[Lloyd Robson Oval]] in [[Port Moresby]]. He would be the top try scorer in his team's 28–8 victory.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/league/pms-selection-downs-png-kumuls/2006/09/30/1159337384592.html |title=PM's selection downs PNG Kumuls |work=Sydney Morning Herald |date=30 September 2006 |access-date=13 April 2015 |archive-date=24 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924200927/http://www.smh.com.au/news/league/pms-selection-downs-png-kumuls/2006/09/30/1159337384592.html |url-status=live }}</ref> On 3 May 2007, Hayne was selected to make his debut on the wing for the [[City New South Wales rugby league team|City New South Wales]] team in the [[City vs Country Origin]] clash in [[Coffs Harbour]]. He impressed enough in his City debut to secure a place in the [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] state team for the [[2007 State of Origin series|2007 State of Origin]] Game I on 23 May 2007 at [[Lang Park|Suncorp Stadium]] in [[Brisbane]]. He would go on to represent New South Wales in each of the three state games in 2007, scoring two tries in the process. On 21 October 2007, Hayne made his international debut for [[Australia national rugby league team|Australia]] in the Trans-Tasman Test against [[New Zealand national rugby league team|New Zealand]] at [[Wellington Regional Stadium|Westpac Stadium]] in [[Wellington]]. He scored a solo try on debut in Australia's record 58–0 victory.<ref>{{cite news |title=Australia scores record 58–0 win over New Zealand |last=Marshall |first=Matt |date=14 October 2007 |work=Courier Mail |url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/kangaroos-in-11-try-romp/story-e6frep5x-1111114639719}}</ref>

====New South Wales====
After competing in each of the three [[State of Origin series|State of Origin]] matches for [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] in 2007, Hayne was selected for NSW in two of the three games in 2008 and only missed Game II through suspension. In 2010, Hayne was named and played for the [[New South Wales rugby league team|NSW Blues]] in all three losing matches in the [[2010 State of Origin series]] against the [[Queensland Maroons]].{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

In 2011, Hayne was controversially not named in the [[New South Wales rugby league team|NSW Blues]] side for Game 1, which they lost. However, he returned to the side in Game Two, helping them win 18 – 8. He also played in the deciding Game 3, this time in the centres. To the surprise of many, Hayne's long kicking ability was utilised by the Blues, in an effort to stop the ensuing Queensland attack. Despite losing, Hayne made two line breaks, and scored one try. He also had the second highest run metres for NSW (156m) behind [[Paul Gallen]] (160m). He is likely to have played on the wing for Australia following the 2011 season, but was not selected due to injury.

Hayne was selected to play on the wing for [[New South Wales rugby league team|New South Wales]] in all three games of the [[2012 State of Origin series]] which was again won by [[Queensland rugby league team|Queensland]]. Hayne was moved to his preferred position of fullback for Game I of the [[2013 State of Origin series]] and scored a try during New South Wales' 14–6 victory. A [[hamstring]] injury ruled Hayne out for the remainder of the series as New South Wales would again taste series defeat for the eighth straight year.

A determined Hayne returned to the fold for Game I of the [[2014 State of Origin series]] and was selected a fullback for each of the three games. The Blues would finally secure a series victory in what would be Hayne's last State of Origin series before switching to American football.  Hayne was awarded The [[Brad Fittler Medal]] for being NSW's best player in The 2014 series.  One of the enduring moments in Origin history is when Hayne ran into the crowd after NSW won it first series in 9 years.  In the post match interview with [[Andrew Johns]], a visibly emotional Hayne said “Ooh, it's been a long time, it's been a long time. We fought hard. Whoah. Yes, son! Yes, son!".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/11/origin-hayne-hoffman-win-medals |title=Origin stars Jarryd Hayne and Ryan Hoffman win Brad Fittler Medal |agency=Australian Associated Press |date=10 September 2014 |work=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=7 June 2018 |archive-date=12 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140712/https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/sep/11/origin-hayne-hoffman-win-medals |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-brave-nsw-blues-end-queenslands-eightyear-stranglehold/news-story/c9b8e4c6179a4bf87af9fc0c6dd685c5 |title=State of Origin: Brave NSW Blues end Queensland's eight-year stranglehold |first=Paul |last=Kent |date=18 June 2014 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=New South Wales |access-date=7 June 2018 |archive-date=25 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210325111923/https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-brave-nsw-blues-end-queenslands-eightyear-stranglehold/news-story/c9b8e4c6179a4bf87af9fc0c6dd685c5?nk=29649c4847139c32c8c9611af5c170f5-1616671163 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/origin/jarryd-haynes-tears-of-joy-and-the-state-of-origin-talking-points/news-story/403569e23ab82ee3ce0417af771bd997 |title=Eight big Origin talking points |first=Cameron |last=Tomarchio |date=19 June 2014 |work=News.com.au |access-date=7 June 2018 |archive-date=12 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612150203/https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/origin/jarryd-haynes-tears-of-joy-and-the-state-of-origin-talking-points/news-story/403569e23ab82ee3ce0417af771bd997 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Hayne was selected to play in The 2017 State of Origin series at Centre.  In game one he starred for New South Wales on the field scoring a try in a convincing 28–4 victory over Queensland.  In game two, Hayne scored a try in the first half as New South Wales raced out to a 16–6 lead.  Just before half time, Hayne had the chance to put winger [[Brett Morris]] over for a try in the corner to make it 20-6 but decided to attempt the try himself but was tackled short of the goal line.  This was seen as a turning point in the match as Queensland came back in the second half to win the game 18–16.  Former Queensland coach [[Wayne Bennett (rugby league)|Wayne Bennett]] said to the media that Hayne's decision not to pass the ball to Morris was ''Selfish'' and a ''Show boat'' move, he then said “For Jarryd Hayne, there's no excuses for why he didn't pass the ball to Morris,”.  Hayne kept his spot in the side for Game three where New South Wales lost to Queensland 22–6 at [[Suncorp Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin-game-1-at-suncorp-stadium-live-updates/news-story/268c4847daa63429a986602c15b3cc3e |title=Live State of Origin Game 1 |work=News.com.au |date=1 June 2017 |access-date=26 November 2017 |archive-date=1 December 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201030437/http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin-game-1-at-suncorp-stadium-live-updates/news-story/268c4847daa63429a986602c15b3cc3e |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/state-of-origin/wayne-bennett-roasts-jarryd-hayne-over-origin-mistakes/news-story/f76d1d4245da5d83469fea711197e398 |title=State of Origin 2017 Game 2: Wayne Bennett roasts Jarryd Hayne |date=22 June 2017 |work=Fox Sports |access-date=26 November 2017 |archive-date=25 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170625074302/http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/state-of-origin/wayne-bennett-roasts-jarryd-hayne-over-origin-mistakes/news-story/f76d1d4245da5d83469fea711197e398 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-2017-game-3-full-time-score-and-highlights-as-queensland-claim-victory/news-story/166061de0f1c385bd0a7397486728974 |title=State of Origin 2017: Game 3 full time score and highlights as Queensland claim victory |first=Dean |last=Ritchie |date=12 July 2017 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=New South Wales |access-date=26 November 2017 |archive-date=16 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170816110146/http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/state-of-origin/state-of-origin-2017-game-3-full-time-score-and-highlights-as-queensland-claim-victory/news-story/166061de0f1c385bd0a7397486728974 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Despite having already represented Australia, Hayne was selected to play for his father's native [[Fiji national rugby league team|Fiji]] in the [[2008 Rugby League World Cup]]. On 1 November 2008 he made his debut for the Fiji Bati against [[France national rugby league team|France]] at [[Wollongong Showground|WIN Stadium]] in [[Wollongong]] and scored two tries. Fiji topped [[2008 Rugby League World Cup Group B|Group B]] and advanced to the semi-final qualifier against [[Ireland national rugby league team|Ireland]] at [[Robina Stadium|Skilled Park]] on the [[Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]]. Hayne was instrumental in Fiji's 30–14 victory. Fiji then lost to Australia in the semi-final at [[Sydney Football Stadium (1988)|Sydney Football Stadium]]. Hayne later said he found God during his 2008 World Cup experience with Fiji and believed his participation helped him become the best rugby league player in the world in 2009.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/world-cup-trip-with-fiji-changed-australian-star-jarryd-haynes-life/story-e6freuy9-1226747434313 |title=World Cup trip with Fiji changed Australian star Jarryd Hayne's life |work=Daily Telegraph |date=23 October 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/how-fijis-world-cup-campaign-helped-eels-jarryd-hayne-mature/story-e6frg6n6-1225772128437 |last=Honeysett |first=Stuart |title=How Fiji's World Cup campaign helped Eels' Jarryd Hayne mature |work=The Australian |date=12 September 2009}}</ref>

====All Star selection====
Hayne was voted by the public to play fullback for the [[NRL All Stars team]] in the inaugural [[2010 All Stars match]] at Skilled Park. He was again voted as the starting fullback for the [[NRL All Stars team]] in the [[2013 All Stars match]] at [[Lang Park|Suncorp Stadium]] in [[Brisbane]] and scored the only try for the NRL All Stars.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}

====2013 World Cup====
Hayne was named at centre by [[Australian rugby league team|Australian]] coach [[Tim Sheens]] for the Kangaroos' squad for the [[2013 Rugby League World Cup]], which was held in England, France, Wales and Ireland. He scored two tries against [[Ireland]] before becoming the sixth Australian to score four tries in a world cup match when he did so against the [[U.S.A Tomahawks|United States]] in Australia's 62–0 win. A week later Hayne scored three tries and set up two in Australia's 64–0 win over Fiji to make himself the competition's lead try scorer. Hayne continued his run of form in the [[Grand final]] against New Zealand, after almost being knocked unconscious inside the game's first five minutes. He went on to produce two remarkable try assists for winger [[Brett Morris]] as Australia were crowned 2013 world champions. He was named Australia's joint players-player alongside [[Johnathan Thurston]]. Hayne's world cup campaign was hailed by his Kangaroos teammates, [[Brett Morris]] declaring that "If there was a Harlem Globetrotters of rugby league, he'd be in it. To play outside him for the last couple of weeks is something I'll remember."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8764077 |title=Kangaroos hail freakish Jarryd Hayne |work=Channel Nine Wide World of Sport |access-date=1 December 2013 |date=1 December 2013 |publisher=Liam FitzGibbon |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202165337/http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8764077 |archive-date=2 December 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> By the end of the tournament Hayne was the equal top try scorer with teammate Brett Morris.

====2017 World Cup====
Hayne again represented Fiji in the [[2017 Rugby League World Cup|2017 World Cup]] and the [[2018 Pacific Rugby League Tests]].

==American football career==

In 2009, it was reported that the new [[Greater Western Sydney Giants|Greater Western Sydney franchise]] in the [[Australian Football League]] had offered Hayne a contract worth $1.5 million a season to quit rugby league and take up [[Australian rules football]].<ref>{{cite news |author1=Josh Massoud |title=Tug of war for Hayne begins |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/tug-of-war-for-hayne-begins/story-e6frexnr-1225804363387 |work=Daily Telegraph |date=27 November 2009}}</ref>  On 17 December 2009, Hayne announced he would remain in the National Rugby League by re-signing with Parramatta for a further four years.

In 2011, aged 23, Hayne intended to quit rugby league to pursue his dream of playing in the [[National Football League]] via the American collegiate system. However, his failure to complete 12th grade and receive his [[Higher School Certificate (New South Wales)|High School Certificate]] (HSC) meant Hayne was ineligible to play [[college football]] in the United States.<ref>{{cite news |last=Chammas |first=Michael |title=Jarryd Hayne reveals he tried to quit the NRL in 2011 as he closes in on rookie contract with Detroit Lions |url=http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/parramatta-eels/jarryd-hayne-reveals-he-tried-to-quit-the-nrl-in-2011-as-he-closes-in-on-rookie-contract-with-detroit-lions-20150224-13n5db.html |work=Sydney Morning Herald |date=24 February 2015 |access-date=4 March 2015 |archive-date=26 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226192316/http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/parramatta-eels/jarryd-hayne-reveals-he-tried-to-quit-the-nrl-in-2011-as-he-closes-in-on-rookie-contract-with-detroit-lions-20150224-13n5db.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2013, he organised two American football training sessions with college team [[University of Technology, Sydney|UTS]] between the [[2013 NRL season]] and the [[2013 Rugby League World Cup]].

==Sexual assault allegations==

===American allegation===
In 2015, Hayne was accused of sexual assault in America by a woman known only by the initials JV.  The woman claimed she was a virgin and heavily intoxicated when she met Hayne at a San Jose bar with friends in 2015 while he was playing in the [[NFL]] with the [[San Francisco 49ers]].  The woman alleged that Hayne went back to her apartment where he sexually assaulted her.  Police investigated the incident but decided not to charge Hayne. The woman then filed a civil lawsuit against Hayne in December 2017. On 31 August 2019 Hayne settled the suit, paying almost $100,000 to the alleged victim.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/hayne-settles-us-rape-case-with-payment-of-almost-100k-20190831-p52mo3.html/|title=Hayne settles US rape case with payment of almost $100,000|website=Sydney Morning Herald|date=31 August 2019 |access-date=2 September 2019|archive-date=2 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190902153510/https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/hayne-settles-us-rape-case-with-payment-of-almost-100k-20190831-p52mo3.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
