Jarryd Hayne<\/a>'s individual accolades are on the verge of being stripped following his sexual assault conviction.<\/p>\n

The former NRL star was found guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent<\/a> last week, with a sentencing hearing scheduled for May 6 in Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Hayne has made it known that he intends to appeal the conviction but should he be unsuccessful, NRL officials believe they will have no choice but to strip the 33-year-old of his rugby league honours, according to Nine NRL reporter Danny Weidler; writing in his Sun Herald column<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A judge told the former Eels player last Monday that jail time is "inevitable" following his convictions.<\/p>\n

It's understood the game wants to completely distance itself from Hayne, so that the prestige of the Dally M Medal and the Brad Fittler Medal aren't damaged.<\/p>\n

Hayne's list of achievements includes: Two Dally M Medals (2009, 2014), Rookie of the Year in 2006 and three Brad Fittler Medals (2007, 2008 and 2014).<\/p>\n

But the decision could be met with some resistance after Dally Messenger III, grandson of the rugby league Immortal, said Hayne's NRL achievements should stand.<\/p>\n

"I think the punishment Jarryd receives from the law and from the NRL is enough," he told Weidler.<\/p>\n

"From my point of view, his achievements should not be wiped from history and his name should still be present on the awards he has won. In no way am I condoning anything he has done or is alleged to have done. What he did in sport should not be taken away."<\/p>\n
