Hindmarsh back Hayne

PARRAMATTA forward Nathan Hindmarsh has backed teenage teammate Jarryd Hayne to make a quick redemption after making one of Origin football's biggest gaffes.Hayne, 19, endured a remarkable NSW debut last Wednesday by scoring a freak solo try on halftime but the moment was blighted from his brain-explosion midway through the second half when he threw a bizarre pass handing Darren Lockyer the match-winning try.

But rather than wallow in the pity from his one crucial mistake, Hindmarsh is backing young Hayne to come roaring back with a starring role in tomorrow night's NRL clash with New Zealand Warriors at Parramatta Stadium.

"I don't think it will be tough for him to turn around," said Hindmarsh.

"He made a mistake, that's it.

"We make mistakes every week here and there. It just happens (Hayne's) was on the big screen."

While the Eels are hoping Hayne has no Origin hangover, they're equally concerned about Queensland prop Steve Price and how he will recover after his starring performance on Wednesday night.

Price is the inspirational skipper for the Warriors and his amazing work rate is something the Eels will be hoping has taken its toll from Origin.

"Hopefully (Price) has used all his petrol and they give him a week off," said Hindmarsh.

"I was thinking after the game (Origin) I wish I could eat what they're eating or whatever doing what they're doing. They just keeping coming and coming all day."

Parramatta will start tomorrow's game outright favourites after last week thumping North Queensland 44-14 at home while the Warriors are riding a three-game losing streak.

The Eels have Hindmarsh and Hayne plus injured pair Timana Tahu and Fuifui Moimoi returning to the squad this week.

Hindmarsh said the Eels are starting to gather momentum, the club buoyed by the midweek re-signing of five key players including halfback Tim Smith and rising forward Feleti Mateo.
"We are starting to gather momentum," said Hindmarsh.

"Last week we played an under-strength Cowboys side and even if they were full strength I think we would have beaten them.

"I think Nathan Cayless is playing the best footy I've ever seen him play. (Brett) Finchy and (Luke) Burty and Timmy Smith are starting to hit some form too."
