This has "cheesy Disney film" written all over it. A team thats lobbied by the Disney Corporation will sign him for 1 season just so Disney can rake in the dough with a "Based on a True Story" inspiring film starring Jon Hamm as Jarryd.

Disney actually gave Jarryd the 4 million dollars left on his contract to leave the Parramatta Eels, I love it

Happy ending?
Not exactly.

Rugby players are tough MOFO'S.

I figure there's a decent chance that a superior athlete could learn another sport and do well. They're kind of similar.

What's the over/ under on him lateralling at some point during his first return?

The general response I see from americans watching rugby for the first time is along the lines of "that shit will destroy nfl teams if they try it"
The ball travels faster than the man, so once in a while it could be a great tactic.

Rugby players never have to block. That will be a more important task for him to learn than running the ball.

Agree, if he wants to become even a part-time RB. But as a punt returner, he could make an instant impact.

... or instantly impacted.
The interesting thing will be when he gets really popped NFL style. While I know there's hitting in rugby, and in no way question the toughness of rugby players, my impression is that the biggest hits are inadvertent. There's a sense of unprotected, self-preservation that ameliorates the impacts.
Whereas in the NFL the biggest hits are purposeful thanks in large part to the equipment... and the "culture".

BUMP
53 yard run, first game, second run.
Followed by a reasonable punt return. -
Saw that. Still runs a bit high. He'll learn. The potential is there.
