Kicking it with Jarryd Hayne’s family during the game

Sitting in a sparse press box and watching the 49ers’ and Chargers’ triple A teams grapple in their preseason finales, I found out where Jarryd Hayne’s family was sitting.

At halftime I bolted from the press box, and found them nestled in the stands behind the North end zone. Hayne’s mom Jodie, his uncle Matt Scullion and his two teenage sisters Taygan Hayne and Jessi-Lee Hayne, were full of spirit and humor.

Wide-eyed, excited and riveted on Jarryd’s every move, the family welcomed
