STAR Blues fullback Jarryd Hayne's preparations for State of Origin III are in a spin with revelations he has fallen out with Parramatta club coach Daniel Anderson.
The relationship between Anderson and Hayne is at breaking point, with Hayne's agent Wayne Beavis on Sunday night calling for an urgent meeting to thrash out their differences.
Hayne was singled out for criticism in the wake of the Eels' 10-6 loss against the Broncos at Parramatta Stadium on Saturday.
He was so upset he stormed out of the ground, boycotting a compulsory team function with fans at the Leagues Club.
Parramatta directors have summonsed Anderson to appear before the board on Tuesday to explain the team's poor form and the falling-out with Hayne.
After the match, Anderson told the press conference: "I think our fullback is learning. He wasn't good tonight in my opinion.
"Not many people will say it, but he was off his game." Obviously disappointed he had been singled out for criticism, Hayne told reporters: "We're just not jelling at the moment. It's the coach's job ... it's for him to bring us together and to work that out."
Beavis phoned Eels chief executive Paul Osborne on Sunday.
"I would have thought if the coach had a problem with him, he would have had a meeting to sort it out," Beavis said.
Parramatta insiders said Anderson's press conference revelations on Saturday night regarding his unhappiness with his $500,000-a-season fullback had been common knowledge around the club for weeks.
Beavis denies it, but there are some in the Eels camp who have been concerned for two months that Hayne's ego is getting out of control now that he is by far the highest-paid player at the club and one of the most high-profile players in the game.
"Jarryd has changed a lot since last year," one insider said. "There is a genuine concern that all the publicity has got to him."
It is understood Anderson has spoken to Hayne regularly about his form in recent weeks.
