the problem with Nicho Hynes is he's not playing in the right position he's an out and out fullback.

[RypienGT]

Expectations are on every well paid half.

[calebwakeman]

I actually think hed be better at 6 or fullback. Braydon Trindall has shown that he can stand up for his team without Nicho and still win. I like him at halfback

[jialat]

No the issue is Hynes is a system halfback and when the system isn't going well he cant adapt.

[thomasloos]

He’s a 1.2 million per year halfback. The expectations should be high, and rightly so.

[DaShA]

Who told him he was a halfback? He is no where near a halfback!!!!

[BondiNinja]

The problem with Nicho is that he doesn’t like collisions whether in attack or defence. He’s a touch football player, a passer with an okay kicking game. The good halves will take on the physical challenges as part of their role, Nicho just does what he can get away with taking on the defence and defending. I saw it years ago. He hides until it’s time to throw the glory pass or put up the glory kick. He needs to get some steel in his game because he’s now exposed.

[stickynicky]

Winning Dally M was the worst thing to happen to his career

[tetleyT]

This isn't exactly a hot take.Pretty obvious Nicho isn't at the same level as Cleary or Hughes.

[projectzero]

Doesn't show up in big game's, sharks don't show up in big games simple.

[garrysalisbury]

I wonder what DCE would say about Cleary and Hughes being named best 2 half back

[phillipdessaix]

Nobody talking about Trindall? He's the half carrying the sharks. You just have to look at their season. They won more with hynes out . Trindall is their key player.

[leviclarke]

if you're getting 1.2 million a year the expectations will be high automatically so yes the higher the pay is the more expectations are around you that works outside rugby league as well in life when in jobs from managers to business owners

[Luke-msrp]

Even if your opinion is right doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the right thing to say publicly. In fact I’m not even sure how making a comment like that is going to help anyone who has self esteem issues.

[lshinchy]

There's 13 players to a team, he's one man for damn sake... SMH
When King wally left the broncos he was a flop, when freddy left panthers he was a flop & unsuccessful for the first 3-4yrs and Ivan Cleary was the roosters fullback at the time too😂
1 grand final from 4 appearances 🤣
But lets all talk crap about nicho.. SMH

Unfortunately, as a long, very long, and suffering Sharks fan and football club member, I have to now admit that while Hynes is a good player, he is not a game changer. Signing him up for a 6 year mega-money contract was a mistake and it is pride that's keeping him in the position. Sharks won a lot of games this year with Trindall and Atkinson in the halves, who seem to play better together and get the team to lift as well. Nicho is like a deer in the headlights in big games and the rest of the team choke around him. Too often he is missing in action and the whole team goes with him. Talakai should have been warming the bench yesterday with Atkinson at centre for Ramien. Stonestreet and Atkinson are going to be poached soon and the Sharks will fall down the roster as they lose players with any x-factor to other teams. I will probably not even watch their Cowboys game, if they don't choke in that game, they will against Pemriff the following week. The loss to the Warriors was a pressure game, the win over Eagles was a no pressure game. Flanno hooked Townsend off the field late in their 2016 season when he was choking and it had the desired effect. Fitzy needs to do the same with Nicho, if he's not performing, so that he stops believing the hype around himself.

[sportsfanivosevic]

Nicho does not have line breaking ability like the other's have, so he's more predictable.

[leighsheppard]

Once I looked at Danika my ears stopped working, oh man she is shagadelic😅

[philliprobinson]

He is not doing good things he is a real shocker time time and again needs to be dropped

[charoojames]

Nah he's too busy playing wit his hair
