Former National Rugby League side Parramatta player Jarryd Hayne has hired a TV crew to "follow him
throughout his ambitious yet fascinating NFL journey for a warts-and-all
documentary," according to Dean Ritchie of the Sydney DAILY TELEGRAPH. Vision will be shot of Hayne's "on-field pursuit of
an NFL contract while also capturing real-life moments away from the
training field, an incite rarely seen by the Australian public." The camera crew was there when Hayne made his "initial shock decision to quit rugby league." It was also "shooting vision at Hayne's family farewell last Saturday
afternoon" at Yiamas Greek Taverna, St. Peters, and when the ex-NSW
champion "said goodbye to friends, including some Parramatta teammates,
at Millone's Ristorante and Bar, Baulkham Hills." The camera crew is from CESPORTS, a company owned by trainer Hayden Knowles, who has "travelled with Hayne." Once Hayne’s journey is complete, the documentary will be "shopped around
to Australian -- and possibly American -- free-to-air and pay television
networks" (DAILY TELEGRAPH, 10/22).
