A year ago, Jarryd Hayne was on the radar of almost every NRL club after he abandoned his American football dream. But the past week, with almost every off-contract NRL player linked to rival clubs, has highlighted just how far Hayne has fallen from grace since his return to rugby league.

Not one club has signalled an interest in Hayne. Not publicly, anyway. The Bulldogs and Roosters are on the lookout for a fullback, while the Dragons and Tigers might need a new No.1 - yet still no mention of Hayne. It wasn't that long ago that Hayne was the most sought-after athlete in the country. His stint with the San Francisco 49ers saw him become a national hero, but his reputation has since taken a battering following the concerns over his attitude that were highlighted at the start of the season.

He still hasn't decided whether to take up an option to remain at the Gold Coast next year for $1.2million - but it seems as though his options have dwindled down to the Titans and French rugby. This column first mentioned at the start of the season that Parramatta had no interest in luring the prodigal son home, scarred by Hayne's decision to turn his back on the club to sign a lucrative deal with the Titans last year.

The Roosters and Bulldogs were once keen on Hayne, but that interest has diminished. And it's unlikely the Tigers will pursue him because his attitude towards training won't sit well with new coach Ivan Cleary. Granted, his injury has prevented him the opportunity to put himself in the shop window, but his reputation in rugby league circles has taken a battering.
