Premiership-winning forward Bryan Fletcher has revealed that good mate and Parramatta legend Nathan Hindmarsh has likened Tom Trbojevic’s recent form to that of 2009 Dally M Medal winner Jarryd Hayne who Hindmarsh played alongside at the Eels.
Parramatta would go on a hot streak in ’09 taking them all the way to the grand final.
“I would love to play a game with a player like him,” Fletcher said on SEN.
“I spoke to Hindy yesterday and he told me, ‘It is a bit like Jarryd Hayne in 2009 when he was just doing things that other people couldn’t do and he was just full of confidence’.
“The thing with Tommy is that Hayne might have gone in and out of games and people said he wasn’t that interested.
“But Tommy wants to get the ball in his hand, he wants to set the defence up and there were times there that he was running from dummy-half trying to score.”
