The Jarryd Hayne X-Factor is what Parramatta Eels will miss the most in their next game against Gold Coast.

Parramatta haven't won a match without Hayne in almost three years but that's exactly what the Eels are facing as they attempt to resurrect their NRL season without their talented fullback.

Hayne yesterday accepted the early guilty plea and two week ban for his head butt and will miss crucial matches against Gold Coast and premiers St George Illawarra.

The Eels have won only two matches in 2011, and their last win without Hayne in the side was in June 2008 when the former international footballer of the year was still flittering between centre and wing.
