Jarryd Hayne breaks his silence with State of Origin message after fallen footy legend saw six-year criminal rape ordeal end

Jarryd Hayne has broken the silence on social media to send a message to football pal Latrell Mitchell on State of Origin night.

Hayne, 36, was this week told he will not face a fourth criminal trial for allegedly raping a woman after an appeal against his conviction was successful, although a civil lawsuit still hangs over his head.

After regaining his freedom earlier this month, Hayne has kept a low profile as he reintegrated himself into life with his family.

But he resurfaced on social media on Wednesday night with a two-word message during New South Wales’ huge win over Queensland at the MCG.

‘Trelly want!!!’ Hayne posted on Facebook how Blues superstar Latrell Mitchell ran riot during a dominant first-half performance.

Souths fullback Mitchell, 27, was brought back into the fold by Michael Maguire for the crucial second match, with nothing less than victory needed for the Blues to keep the series alive.

Mitchell played his role as centre to perfection as NSW defeated Queensland 38-18 to decide the series in three weeks in Brisbane.

Hayne is fully aware of the pressures of Origin, having played in the series 23 times. He was part of the Blues team’s series-ending drought-ending win in 2014, the same year he won his second Dally M Medal.

Elsewhere, Mitchell Moses rewarded Blues coach Michael Maguire’s bold selection choice on Wednesday night despite missing two months of the season with a foot injury.

With regular NSW halfback Nathan Cleary unavailable for the series due to a hamstring injury, 29-year-old Moses replaced Nicho Hynes in the NSW number 7 shirt for the second match as Maguire looked for more refinement in attack .

Despite struggling to recapture his best form for Parramatta since his dismissal, Moses showed the spark that makes him one of the NRL’s most creative playmakers.

Moses produced a near-flawless performance in the Blues’ 38-18 thrashing of Queensland, leveling the series and winning the player-of-the-match medal.

He had four try assists under seven and kept the Queenslanders on the back foot, kicking for 431 metres.

The former footy star took to Facebook to heap praise on NSW gun Latrell Mitchell

Not normally known for his rock-solid defending, he twice forced a knock-on from Maroons five-eighth Tom Dearden with heavy tackles.

Former NSW coach Phil Gould, who steered the Blues to a 14-0 win in the first Origin match ever played at the MCG in 1994, said Moses had ‘matured’.

“Absolutely fantastic,” Gould said in his commentary.

“He (Moses) came of age on the representative stage tonight.

“He’s running the show.”

Ex-Blues halfback Andrew Johns went further and said it was the best game Moses had played in any arena.
