Jarryd Hayne (born 15 February 1988) is an Australian-Fijian professional rugby league player currently playing for the Parramatta Eels, in the NRL. Described by Sydney Roosters forward Willie Mason as a "freakish talent",[1] Hayne is widely regarded as one of rugby league's best young players.

Biography

First Grade

Hayne made his first grade debut with the Eels on 19 May, 2006 against the Penrith Panthers at CUA Stadium. He quickly made an impression on the competition scoring 17 tries within 16 games in his debut season.[2] This tally included a personal best of four tries against the Newcastle Knights in a 46-12 win to Parramatta.[3] His excellent try scoring ability saw him rewarded with the 2006 Dally M 'Rookie of the Year' award and a spot on the Kangaroos Squad.[4]

Hayne continued to impress in his second season with his awesome talent, in which he secured representative berths in City vs Country Origin, State of Origin and played a Test match for the Kangaroos. He spent most of the season at fullback due to injury to Luke Burt and scored 12 tries, including the winning try against the New Zealand Warriors in the First Qualifying Final of the 2007 NRL Finals series.[5]

Diving accusations

Following Parramatta's close victory against Brisbane in July 2007, Hayne was accused of diving to impede Brisbane's momentum after a heavy hit from Sam Thaiday. Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett said "You talk about ethics in our sport. You talk about not laying on the ground" and then claimed Hayne should be cited for "bringing the game into disrepute." Hayne denied that he dived to deliberately impede Brisbane's momentum and claimed that he was genuinely hurt after the collision with Thaiday.[6]

In the 2007 Grand Final qualifier, Hayne was again accused of diving when he stayed down and received a penalty for a high shot. Players accused Hayne of winking after the incident, Clint Newton saying "To lay down like he did and then get up and wink, I don't think that's in the spirit of the game. Straight after he got up, he winked at Dallas Johnson -- facing us." [7]

Representative career

On the back of his Dally M Award winning season, and a good showing in the annual City vs Country match, Hayne was selected on the wing for New South Wales in game I of the 2007 State of Origin series. Hayne's representative career got off to an excellent start as he scored a magnificent solo try right on half-time from a Brent Tate kick. Despite this, Hayne threw a panicked pass that he thought to be a 40/20 which was intercepted by Darren Lockyer and led to an opposition try. The selectors however, kept their faith in Hayne and were rewarded when he returned a solid showing in game II, and scored a vital try in the third. Due to his prolific performances in the 2007 NRL Season and in the NSW Origin Series, Hayne was ultimately rewarded later in the year with the inclusion the Australian Test Squad in 2007. He debuted on the wing for Australia, scoring a solo try in Australia's record 58-0 defeat of New Zealand.

In August, 2008, Hayne was named in the preliminary 46-man Kangaroos squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.[8][9] Hayne was also named in the Prime Minister's XIII, scoring 2 tries against Papua New Guinea.[10]

Hayne was named in the Fiji squad for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. During the Rugby League World Cup while playing for Fiji Hayne played an incredibly exciting brand of football at fullback, scoring 2 tries in the first clash against France. Hayne had an average of 4 linebreaks a game in his World Cup games for Fiji, and in his last game for Fiji played against his former team Australia in the semi-final Hayne put on the hit of the tournament on the Australian captain Darren Lockyer.[11]

Off the field

Hayne was involved in a shooting incident in King's Cross in the early hours of 3 March, 2008. Hayne and two team-mates were reported to have been shot at while walking along Ward Street. No one was injured in the incident.[12]
