Hindmarsh brothers to clash for first time
Nathan and Ian Hindmarsh will clash on the field together for the first time as NRL rivals in this week's matchup between Parramatta and Canberra.
Speaking on the official Parramatta website, Brian Smith said there would be "no love lost" and he certainly wouldn't want to get between the two.
In the Canberra Times, Ian Hindmarsh admitted that they weren't the closest of brothers.
"We never have spoken a lot and we haven't got many common interests. We don't fight or anything like that, but we are not as lovey-dovey as a few of the other boys I know are with their brothers. We talk about once a fortnight or month.
Claiming he was the older brother, so had the "wood" on Nathan, Ian told the Times that they had played plenty of football together in the backyard so "I know what I have to do".
"It wasn't ever too nasty in our backyard until someone got the shits. It was usually one-on-one or two-on-two with the sisters involved.
"But I'm not going to worry about him too much and just take on Parramatta on as a team. You can't just focus on him and I need to worry more about their whole team in general. I may not even get to tackle him."
