Prosecutors are considering a fourth trial after a former Australian NRL star's rape convictions have been quashed again.

Jarryd Hayne has been released on bail, after spending a year behind bars for being convicted of two counts of sexual intercourse without consent last April.

The verdict has been overturned on the basis that the judge didn't allow further cross-examination on the complainant.

Australian lawyer Michael Bradley says it's in no one's interest for a rape case to be tried three times.

"It's appalling for everyone, it just underlines how broken the system is."
