It’s a long haul from Maroubra to Wentworthville, and it’s not a trip Sydney Roosters fan Jed Necco makes regularly. But on Sunday, he made an exception, specifically to cheer on “one of the best players I’ve ever seen”. That player was Jarryd Hayne, who returned to rugby league after 2444 days on the sidelines. “I’ve been a fan since I was five years old,” Necco said. “I actually go for the Roosters, but my dad was a Parramatta fan and used to take me to their games, and he [Hayne] was probably my favourite player of my childhood.”
