Twitter can throw up a doozy when it comes to the NRL and the old rumour mill.

We’ve trawled through to find some crackers from 2016:

Rumour that Leigh ALMOST signed Jarryd Hayne for the rest of '16. Shame it never eventuated. #Leigh #Centurions #HaynePlane ##NRL

Hayne signed with the Titans, Eels re-signed Norman and Benji left the Dragons for Brisbane.
