There was only one name on everyone's lips when Round 22 of the NRL Telstra Premiership rolled around… Jarryd Hayne. Hayne ended speculation over his future by signing with the Gold Coast Titans following his memorable stint in the NFL. Hayne's signing didn't inspire the Titans immediately however as they were beaten by the Warriors. Meanwhile the Raiders ended the Sharks' 16-game unbeaten run in Cronulla and the Storm only just beat the cellar-dwelling Rabbitohs in golden point. The Wests Tigers proved that they were serious top eight contenders by beating the Cowboys while Penrith put the Roosters to the sword.
