Jarryd Hayne, 30 breaks his silence amid allegations he 'sexually assaulted a woman, 26, and bit her genitals' with a tweet about the Super Bowl
•Jarryd Hayne, 30, was in November charged with rape and bodily harm
•He stayed silent since his arrest until he posted a tweet on Thursday morning
•Replied 'too good' to a post congratulating an NFL player about Super Bowl win
•Hayne played in the NFL for one season with San Francisco 49ers in 2015

Jarryd Hayne has returned to social media for the first time since he was charged with rape three months ago - with a two-word tweet.

The unemployed NRL star replied to a tweet by former NFL player Marcus Rush at 9.29am on Thursday with 'how good' followed by a clapping emoji.

Hayne had not posted on any of his social media platforms since November 11, eight days before he handed himself in to police and was arrested.

The 30-year-old was then charged with aggravated sexual assault and inflicting actual bodily harm over the September 30 incident.

He is accused of continuing to have sex with a woman after she 'withdrew consent', and biting her on the genitals so hard she needed surgery.

Hayne allegedly met the 26-year-old woman on social media and took a taxi to the house she shared with her mother in Newcastle.

He then took another cab back to Sydney to drink with another NRL player until 3am. Taxis cost about $435 for that trip.

Rush was congratulating his friend, New England Patriots left tackle Trent Brown, on his team winning the Super Bowl.

'I still think he should've been the Super Bowl MVP... there's always next year bro!' he wrote of Brown, who joined the Patriots ahead of the 2018 season.

Hayne made an abortive attempt to break in to the NFL in 2015 when he joined the San Francisco 49ers for one season as a running back and punt returner.

After touching the ball just 22 times the whole season, he quit and returned to Australia to play for the Gold Coast Titans and then Parramatta Eels.

Contract talks with the Eels stalled late last year before his arrest and he is not signed to a rugby league roster.

Hayne's lawyer Richard Pontello said the fallen star planned to plead not guilty to all charges when he last faced court in December.

'Mr Hayne maintains he is innocent, a plea of not guilty will be entered,' he said, before thanking Hayne's family and supporters.

Hayne's case will next be heard in Newcastle Local Court on February 13, two days before his 31st birthday, and he remains on strict conditional bail.

If convicted, Hayne faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail.

Hayne should always have on stand-by a good lawyer and a babysitter to keep him out of trouble. Maybe also no booze for a while. He can't be trusted!!

Lucky he can play football, otherwise he might be in the "Big House" by now!!

Example - Andrew Johns. No Newcastle police officer would arrest him when he was playing. I heard they would drive him home after a night out on the drink.

Andrew Johns was untouchable!!

Footy season must be getting close. All the Hayne articles are starting back up.

Hayne's lawyer jets to US for depositions in sexual assault case

If the NRL thought its summer from hell was about to end, it needs to think again. The two biggest names facing the most serious allegations will be in the news cycle this week. Jarryd Hayne returns to court and Jack De Belin makes his first appearance in court.

Hayne’s supporters are whispering they think his aggravated sexual assault case will be tossed out in time. The police will tell a different story.

Hayne’s lawyer, Ramy Qutami, flew to San Francisco during the week to do some work on the case Hayne is facing in the US. Qutami sat in on depositions with Hayne’s US accuser and her legal team.

The depositions were taken in the Oakland offices of lawyer Micha Star Liberty. The jury trial is set down for January 27, 2020. One of my sources asked about potential settlements and the word from the accuser’s team is while they can’t directly discuss settlement negotiations, they still believe it will go to trial next year.

They also said there will likely be depositions taken from Hayne in Australia. Hayne’s American lawyer was present as well.

If a settlement was discussed, it has certainly not been finalised. I tried to contact Qutami for comment, but he did not reply.

Hayne has started up again on social media. He has been active on Instagram and Twitter, which perhaps indicates a more relaxed state of mind. De Belin has said nothing to anyone about his aggravated sexual assault case, not even his closest mates.

It is interesting to note that while Hayne is without an NRL club for 2019, De Belin was included in all of the Dragons’ team marketing for this season, including the team photo. De Belin took off with his pregnant partner to a family property when the story first broke and has been struggling.

Speaking of troubled NRL stars, when I told the Cowboys I was going to break a story about Ben Barba physically assaulting his partner, they told me I was getting ahead of myself, but did concede they were looking into an incident. It didn’t stop me going ahead and saying there was an incident at the casino and that Barba would be sacked.

Perhaps the Cowboys’ reluctance was because Barba’s long-suffering partner, Ainslie, wasn’t willing to make a complaint.

There is no question that Barba physically assaulted her. He threw objects at her, believed to be rocks.

I was told that when the Cowboys first learnt of an incident – three days before he was sacked – their immediate thought was to bring him in and go down the path of education, but when they learnt how bad it was and that it was caught on CCTV, there was no choice other than to sack him.
