'Nothing to do with rugby league': NRL CEO Todd Greenberg quiet on Jarryd Hayne's playing future

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has refused to speculate on Jarryd Hayne's playing future after the former Parramatta star was charged over an alleged sexual assault.

Hayne was charged early Tuesday with aggravated sexual assault and inflicting actual bodily harm.

The 30-year-old has been granted strict conditional bail and has to appear at Burwood Local Court on December 10.

The NSW State of Origin star is currently out of contract and the allegations won't help his prospects of signing a new NRL contract.

But asked about Hayne's chances of getting another NRL deal, Greenberg said: "Jarryd has got issues to deal with and they have got nothing to do with rugby league at the moment.

"So I am not prepared to talk about that for obvious reasons.

"Given he has been charged and it is a serious police matter I am not going to be making any comment on Jarryd."

A woman claims she suffered injuries during a sexual encounter with Hayne in the NSW Hunter Valley and that she had photographs to back up her story.

It's understood the alleged victim was interviewed by the NRL's integrity unit before the matter was referred to police.

Police allege the assault of the 26-year-old woman took place in a Hunter region home on September 30.

When pressed on Hayne at the 2019 NRL Magic Round launch in Brisbane, Greenberg said: "I am not going to talk about the issues for Jarryd, they are serious issues, so I am not going to comment on that.

"I am not going to speculate about Jarryd because it is before the courts."
