Parramatta, who have signed Mitchell Moses and Kane Evans for next year, are aware of his interest in returning to the club, but the Eels are still scarred by Hayne's decision to turn his back on his former club and sign a lucrative deal with the Titans last year.

The Eels believed they had put a reasonable offer on the table of around $850,000 a season to lure him back to the club in 2016 after his stint in rugby sevens, however the dollars on offer at the Titans blew the Eels out of the water.

The club hasn't forgotten the manner in which Hayne dealt with the situation, and are unlikely to come to the party this time around unless he is willing to take a significant pay cut and potentially play out of position.

There's also a concern surrounding the cultural impact of bringing Hayne to the club given the disruptions that have occurred at the Titans since his arrival in August last year.

Hayne showed on Saturday night against the reigning premiers in his first game back from injury that he still has the talent to match his superstar status in the game, however he will need to convince the Eels that he wants to return for all the right reasons if they are to contemplate making him another offer.
