I think people forget Nicho is only in his 3rd year at halfback. He possibly might not reach his peak until 29-30

[@gonziidexter1153]

Honestly I have a lot of respect for this coach, despite a loss he did manage to respond to the questions comely.👍👍👍

[@FieldPlug]

Nicho seems like a very good bloke and a great player on his day. But something has gotta be said for how he plays in big games and how he handles big moments. He’s got plenty of time to work on that tho

[@gattingbowledwarne]

Times on his side

[@prazzo1232]

He is 27 years old. Not mentally tough enough for his age.

[@patrickkelly2358]

He’s performed in all of the sharks finals games. He played an average game in origin at halfback (many great players before him have) He’s had plenty of clutch moments

[@patrickkelly2358]

@@prazzo1232he genuinely might be one of the more mentally tough players. What hes been through- and to keep playing the way he does is remarkable He’s in his 3rd year of halfback- give him a break

[@JustNate365]

Yea he looks shook at times

[@Jimmyjim4]

Nicho Hynes is the Nicho Hynes of the NRL

[@Manihiki275Ez]

When it went down to the kick to tie it - it brought me back to the Sharks vs Warriors game last year when he missed the kick to take it to Golden point! Not sure what his processes are but he misses the pressure goals the ones you need to get over.

[@gazman2769]

Nico should be in the 6 Jersey. He is not a 7. Pretty average. He was a good fullback for the Storm

[@richardwhite2730]

I agree plus Trindal is better suited to half back

[@zillurrahman3531]

Trindall is a crappie player he'll be the reason shark won't go further than the 1st week of the final at best 2nd week, can't believe they let go of Metcalf and kept Trindall, Atkinson better suited Sharkies style than Trindall

[@alharvs]

100% he’s not a 7

[@optimalmen]

People's opinions change like the wind. Up until round 11 people were saying he must be picked as halfback for NSW.

[@tango18gudvibes]

@@zillurrahman3531 Metcalf is in a better place. Updawahs!!

[@deezz6935]

Imagine playing hynes for missing a sideline kick, where was the hate for jt when he missed the conversion in 2015 gf to win game befor extra time 😂😂

[@ghost-nm6ko]

Yeah he would of got it had he hadnt kicked the field goal

[@cameronwenban3369]

Guys. They have slightly fixed the audio

[@mrfishmon5517]

Its nice to hear the journos and have some context isn’t it?

[@wongyongjin259]

At last n hooray half way through the season 😂😂

[@ajmuss856]

Spot on coach

[@Sharki7319]

As a Sharks fan I thought we should’ve had Atkinson and Nicho is the halves. Just like Atkinson better

[@Skits_Missions]

Trindall offers much more. If anything Ako is better than Nicho ATM. But don’t expect the edge to get the ball with Ako.

[@Sharki7319]

@@Skits_Missions true. When Atkinson was playing Mulitalo never scored

[@deezz6935]

Nathan clearly has a terrible origin record 😂😂😂😂 leave nick alone Qld 😂😂😂

[@Jay59754]

Forward pass led to the try anyway.... Can't blame Nicho for missing it 🤣🤣

[@user-qk5py5hj5b]

Why is everyone bagging out the sharks! We still came back from 22 0 and although we didn't win, that's not our whole season over. And nicho and cam are very good players too, it was one kick!

[@flickyt4709]

Because nothing is getting better ...way to many errors , horrible discipline, they will go out straight sets

[@DaShA69684]

tough but Nicho does not handle pressure, how many examples do you need

[@whatalife212]

Cleary makes that kick in same situation

[@Knightmair19]

Cleary is objectively more valuable sooo

[@anitabilly]

Cleary would probs do his hammy

[@manmountain3205]

Letting hammer get space like that🤦🤦

[@zoef234]

Sharks are all over the place.

[@jimmartin9704]

I'd be more worried about the +160 points put on you in your last 6 games,

[@Snip59]

This just happens all the time lets wait and see for the Finals if they stay in second place we all know this will not be might come in at 6th then if they can stand up or be knocked out again.If they get knocked out again waste of the year when it counts when needed.Myself same old story with the sharks fall at the end.

[@plc2866]

AFB isn’t going to fix the problems that they have. They kind of remind me a little of Parramatta of recent years. There or there abouts, but when it really matters just don’t quite have it.

[@nlrtips]

Nicho Hynes is a big body and don't have much leg speed. His ball kicking game is pretty average. I think he would be more suited at wearing 6 jumper (five-eight) and let the Halfback and most kicking duties to Atkinson or Trindal. They also have speed and can attack the defensive line like most Halfbacks do. Overall Really disappointing performance by Sharks. Hamiso and Bostock tries just sums up their poor defensive efforts.🤦 Anyway, well done Dolphins for a 100% (2/2) winning record against the Sharkies in their home turf so far.👏

[@shootatsquare]

Thiiiink the word you're looking for is 'exasperated'

[@littlefella420]

Nicho ‘yips’ Hynes

[@OGEETOMO]

IF you're a journo and you read this please ask why the Sharks fullback can't make a single tackle on his line in the last 3 games and in general.

[@user-qk5py5hj5b]

Have your seen him?! He is freaking tiny compared to most of the guysv out there, give him a break.

[@flickyt4709]

No excuse for that attempt on hammer ...fkn preschooler could of made a better effort

[@anitabilly]

@@flickyt4709what about hammers poor attempt on kennedy for his try?

[@OGEETOMO]

@@flickyt4709@flickyt4709 I agree, but to be honest, there are at least 6 tries (being generous to the low side) where he has been in tackles and failed to make a tackle that led to a try. It's not good.

[@johnburke6332]

Because he's too busy being the man! I'd have Kennedy as my first choice Blues fullback (yes, Over Edwards and definitely over Tedesco)

[@grrrrrex1234]

Serious questions need to be asked about Nicho as 7. His game management and ability to handle big moments and pressure is poor. Plenty time to learn but how long can the sharks be patient for? Think they need to move him to 6 or fullback where he has less responsibility and can play with that flair he is famous for

[@multioptioned]

Nicho shouldn't have even had that final conversation attempt. Try off a forward pass! 😮

[@johnburke6332]

Dolphins got away with 3 blatantly forward passes, one in the lead up to a try. They scored another try off the back of 2 very questionable penalties. Don't worry about the one decision that went the Sharks way.

[@multioptioned]

@johnburke6332 yes, too many forward passes are being let go, but the bunker wants super slow, multiple angles and repeat viewings on every other try scored!

[@ESAS1988]

There's contenders and there's pretenders 🦈

[@grrrrrex1234]

Cam Mcinnes and Nicho Hynes should not be in consideration for Origin 2

[@prazzo1232]

Nicho is soo average. Why do people like him so much? I have not seen anything great from him

[@flickyt4709]

This bloke can't coach... been hearing for years about his focus on defence ... absolute garbage...sharks have so many cracks and never improve. They get away with it regular season but will be out back to back losses in finals again.

[@michaelwilson7724]

Useless team haha, Hynes is actually atrocious, can't believe I had him as my SuperCoach captain

[@Jimmyjim4]

Not the SuperCoach captain!

[@user-wv8co7bk2g]

Hmm refs against sharks tonight hmm i wonder why maybe they just didn't want the sharks to win tonight. Maybe just maybe refs are in with the media and the media runs the comp and the selection of teams just a thought.😂😂.

[@Mondioso]

The penalty count was even. Sharks made 11 errors and I don't even think the dolphins got a single 6 again? Could be wrong but if you think this was the refs doing you're off ya bloody rocka mate 😂

[@johnburke6332]

​@@Mondiosothe Dolphins got away with 3 blatantly forward passes, 1 in the lead up to a try. They scored another on the back of 2 very questionable penalties and pay attention to how many times Sharks get awarded 6 agains or penalties on the first tackle when their opposition will usually get them near or on their last tackle. It's a massive advantage that the referee will give to one team, then be able to let it disappear in the statistics when people see EQUAL PENALTIES recorded.

[@Mondioso]

@johnburke6332 I watched the majority of the game mate I probably missed about 10 minutes after half time that's it. Dolphins just looked the better side from the kick off. Sharks let the dolphins get the jump on em!

[@lrw121]

Nicho chokes when the pressures on.
