Does any one player stir more water cooler talk than the enigmatic force that is Jarryd Hayne? In Origin 3, Jarryd sent an irrefutable message to his critics that he still has the capacity to decimate teams in an almost single-handed fashion.
When Hayne throws away the millstone that is his casual nature and decides it’s time to hop aboard the Hayne train, there’s very little a team can do to run him off his rails.
The young fullback was superb against the Cowboys on Monday night, demonstrating once again why Parramatta were so successful towards the end of last season.
The purists are bound to say that it doesn’t mean much to slice a team like the Cowboys up because they are the worst defensive team in the comp.
To those detractors I pose this question, how do you explain Hayne cutting through the most elite force of cane toads the Queenslanders have ever produced?
The fact of the matter is, they can’t.
Love him or hate him, Hayne will no doubt continue to be the type of player who can ignite at a seconds notice, and whose flame can extinguish just as easily.
I hope his fire burns for the rest of 2010 because there is very little that compares to this Eels dynamo in full flight.

I’ve met him, he’s very soft spoken and has a very gentle demenour…and actually comes across as rather shy.

He is a absolute Beast, what is he, 21- 22, by the time he reaches his peak, he will be talked about as one of the best we have seen.
I seen Big Mal at his age, and he was simalar to Hayne, but Hayne is showing slightly more potential. Give him time.
What about Uarte, he is leading the line breaks. Give him time also.
