sport news NRL star Jarryd Hayne knew his accuser didn't want sexual intercourse on night ... trends now

Former NRL star Jarryd Hayne has denied he wanted sex 'the quicker, the better' after he paid $550 for a taxi which waited out the front with the meter running, as the jury in his trial hears his side of the story for the first time.

The 35-year-old Dally M winner sat in the witness box of the NSW District Court on Tuesday as the jury was played a recording of his prior evidence.

He is facing the second week of his retrial after pleading not guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual assault without consent.

Mr Hayne denies sexually assaulting the woman at her home on Newcastle's outskirts in September 2018, on the night of the NRL Grand Final, claiming they engaged in consensual sexual acts.

The former footy star is accused of pulling off the woman's pants before allegedly performing oral and digital sexual acts on her without her consent, causing cuts and substantial bleeding.

Hours of Mr Hayne's recorded evidence were played to the jury, where Mr Hayne was asked by the then-Crown prosecutor: 'What you wanted was sex, and you wanted it the quicker, the better because the taxi was out the front and the meter was continuously running'.

Asked what he said to that, Mr Hayne responded: 'I don't agree with your opinion.'

He said he had paid a taxi $550 to drive him from Newcastle to Sydney after a buck's weekend and told the woman he could 'pop in on the way' to her house if she lived near the freeway.

The former Parramatta fullback told the court he knew the woman was 'keen, sending flirty messages' in the weeks prior, but when asked what he intended to do at her home, he said he 'wasn't sure'.

'It was up in the air ... best-case scenario I would have sex with her, worst-case I would introduce myself and that was it,' Mr Hayne told his then-barrister in the evidence.
