Kangaroos coach, Mal Meninga is eyeing Jarryd Hayne for next year’s Rugby League World Cup.
The Gold Coast superstar fullback headlined the 20‑man squad named by World All Stars coach Meninga for the February 10 clash against the Indigenous All Stars in Newcastle.
Former Queensland coach Meninga is aware of Hayne’s game‑breaking ability and remembers well his series‑defining performance during NSW’s State of Origin win in 2014.
Meninga says he is not quite sure where the Titans are going to use him, fullback may be his best position but it’s nice to have him in the All Stars.
While Hayne showed glimpses of his brilliance in his six NRL appearances at the back end of 2016, he is yet to recapture his best form.
Meninga predicted he would be a different player with a full pre‑season under his belt after coming back to the NRL after stints in the NFL and Rugby Sevens.
