Eels trio rewarded with squad call-ups

Monday, September 11, 2006 - 1:08 PM
Parramatta trio Nathan Hindmarsh, Eric Grothe and Jarryd Hayne have been added to the Australian rugby league train-on squad for the end of year Tri Nations series.
The Eels trio were the only additions with Canberra, the other side eliminated after the first week of the finals, overlooked for inclusion.
While second rower Hindmarsh and winger Grothe were expected selections, Hayne's call up continued a rapid rise for the gifted 18-year-old winger who last week was named the NRL rookie of the year.
Hayne has been a dominant performer for the Eels, scoring 17 tries in 16 games this year since earning promotion to first grade when Jason Taylor took over as head coach during the season.
The Australian train-on squad now contains 20 players - from teams eliminated from the finals - and will meet for its first session on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister's XIII team to play Papua New Guinea next month will be selected primarily from the train-on squad.
Squad: Nathan Hindmarsh, Eric Grothe, Jarryd Hayne (Eels), Luke ODonnell, Johnathan Thurston, Carl Webb (Cowboys), Steven Price (Warriors), Craig Gower, Luke Priddis, Craig Stapleton, Trent Waterhouse, Rhys Wesser (Panthers), Paul Gallen (Sharks), Craig Fitzgibbon, Chris Flannery, Amos Roberts, Anthony Tupou (Roosters), Nathan Merritt (Rabbitohs), Robbie Farah, Scott Prince (Tigers)
