never knew this side of nicho. gained a huge amount of respect for him, hope the best for his future.

[@mellissaskeen6605]

Always liked Nicho and this has made me like him even more ❤

What everyone doesn’t realise...doesn’t matter who you are, everyone is going through something or has been through something. Good luck mate you deserve all the best!

Matty Johns is about the only reason I'd ever bother getting foxtel, good content

You don’t have to, it’s on Kayo

[@mitullala8857]

Love these segments with Matty, makes us appreciate the players even more & knowing their stories connects everyone at the same time

[@ronaldwhite5670]

You’ve just gained another fan Nicho. You’re a good young lad. All the best for the future mate

[@richardwhite2730]

I hate the storm, but I agree you cannot help liking him

[@ucesaftf9383]

Way to open up bro. Takes a lot for us men to open up like that, proud of you brother and to all who are feeling down know that your friends and family love you!

[@barnanimal30]

Matty John's is easily one of the best sports interviewers in Australia and Nicho I wish you all the best at Cronulla, a true champ in the making.

[@jacobdass8301]

Loved Nico already but seeing and hearing him talk so candidly about everything he's been through to get to this point in his career is inspiring, hope he continues to have a long and successful career.

[@drip2soft281]

Now I understand why he wants that starting spot in any NRL club rather than being a fill in. He deserves it. Respect to him for chasing bigger and better things. He was patient enough to endure through the tough times and come out as a rising NRL star!

[@gazman2769]

A true Legend. Didn't use his past as an excuse to not succeed. He didn't have the I'm a victim mindset. Keep on making people proud. Go Storm

[@julzylil]

To talk about his past like that definitely wouldn’t of been easy. What a legend ❤️

[@theresawilliams4296]

I really hope that this young man goes all the way in rugby league to representative level. He deserves to be in the game and the game really needs young blokes like him. He speaks with such humbleness and maturity as well. He is already a bloody legend in my book. My husband absolutely loves him and his football smarts on the field. If you ever read this Niko, you are an awesome person and don't ever forget that mate. From two fans from Queensland.

[@emanx2600]

I bet that girl wishing she stood by nicho. Proud of you nicho. You're a role model to alot of guys who struggling with life to never give up hope.

[@margaretharris1325]

Your mum must be so proud of you Nicho. Beautiful soul. And Matty- you handled this interview with compassion and understanding. Pat yourself on the back. Great great interview. Look out Ray Martin!

[@Freekyallblack999]

respect his honesty and openness about what he's been through. That takes a lot of courage

[@shaken-urbacon3040]

Played club footy against him and reps with him growing up. Hated to play him loved playing with him. Was such a good young half. Always could find a pass or a kick that would surprises you.

[@ralphross6332]

Great story. Brought a tear to my missus eyes

[@martyleist6847]

My new favorite player. Well done champion for speaking so openly and honestly.

[@peterdempsey198]

Take care champ! NEVER forget your a good person!!! Stay safe be good and the best of luck in your career mate!!!!

[@jasont2074]

Always respected and enjoyed watching Nico Hynes as a player, but respect ✊ just went to another level. 🤙🏻 🏉

[@giligh]

I learned from this dude.... Never to give up🙏

[@TheMDGMobile]

What a brave young man. This is the kind of candour men need to seek help.

[@tigerking8413]

Well done to Nicho for opening up, he's earnt a huge amount of respect for speaking out on mental health. Hope I can buy him a beer one day, seems like a decent bloke.

[@jasonlogie3863]

For everything that this young man went through he’s turned out to be a great man. Well done

[@ngatiwaihitman]

Balls on this young champ!! Good on ya mate, its not always easy to open as a male, esp to millions watching around the world. Keep striving, you'll get what your after in life, smart insightful young man with a bright future!!

[@TheMtSmartJokerTV]

This is brilliant! You are the man Nico... thanks for sharing your journey... all the best bro... Matty... CHUR!!!

[@Mannazify]

Seems like he's got a pretty wise head on those young shoulders. All the best in life, fella!

[@invisiblecollege893]

Wow. Amazing interview. So refreshing. Nico seems like an absolute legend. Speaking openly and honestly about struggles at such a young age in public is heroic. New favourite player, and not because of the sport. Go well Nico. We've all gut your back

[@josephsharp5678]

You seem like a top bloke Nicho. Good on you for speaking up about your struggles you have been through as it encourages more of us blokes who may be struggling to speak up as well.

[@CraftyKiwiLures]

Wow, that is such alot for young person to go through, good on him for seeking the help to turn his life around, such a great young man, he's gonna be such a great role model for alot of people in the coming years, what an inspiration, he never gave up, he got the help and hopped back on the bike and now look at him 👍👏

[@imalwaysright]

I don’t know much about Nicho, but it’s good to see him being so raw and open. Hope the best for him.

[@stevieeskay]

You’re a champion Nicho. Wishing you great success lad.

[@nicksalmon2389]

What a fantastic young bloke , he will go a long way and have a huge career I’m thinking .

[@ezza1236]

Great work. What a great story! Good luck with Storm. This guys is a champion

[@bundybarramundi]

Nicho I’ve been through a lot you talk about! Underachieving and your first love moving on! It’s great you got the help you needed and succeeded! I’ve lost two mates who were both indigenous brothers and it hurts they didn’t get the help they needed! Can’t wait to see you perform this year and finally make a name for yourself with all your hard work!

[@nushfernando8019]

Such good role model. Sure he will achieve high in his career.

[@brucebradshaw5626]

it just shows that we are all born with no clothes on, what we become is up to us

[@aleishabranch1774]

Gotta love Nicho Hynes he had a terrible childhood and now he is a superstar nrl player for the Sharks give the man some credit gotta love him as soon as he came to the Sharks I started to love him as a sharks supporter he has given them the confidence and the right ball movement and the right way to play rugby league he is one of my favourite nrl players at the moment in the comp or in the Sharks for that matter he’s a hell of a player

[@buttmunch2670]

I never really heard Nicho talk apart from a couple quick post match interviews, but by the way he carries himself on the field I could tell he seemed like a real humble, genuine and down to earth guy. Even though I don't support the Sharks or Melbourne when he was there, I'll always back Nicho in whatever he does.

[@sharonziemiecki7988]

Awesome young man.

[@americanmuscleamericanmusc4581]

what a good guy Nicho is. Wish him all the riches with his career

[@Alex-jx2zp]

Прекрасный игрок и человек. Он крайне ценен еще и потому, что прекрасно играет, несмотря на сложнейшую семейную ситуацию. God bless you Nikolas.

[@steverenfrew5223]

Nicho ,I am a Storm Supporter,once again they have turned player into a footballer!Always like you at the Storm 😁But new you would be picked up easily by another club😁Your killing it in the halves,Your attitude is refreshing😁You deserve all you get👍

[@esradogan112]

I’ve had treatment resistant MDD & PDD for 15 years now so I know the feeling too well ! No one usually has a clue that I’m going through this horrible mental illness, as I had no clue Nico had gone through it also. If only people could see the suffering that goes on in the inside . So happy that he finally got his break in the NRL ! Seems like such a nice , humble guy

[@deanmatters5739]

Big love and repect to you nick and u as well matty

[@nopethataintitchief6739]

Is that North Sydney Bears jumper he wearing in first pic as a young lad? Haven't seen those colours in years! Does a great job filling in for Papin! 🔮⚡⚡ Much respect to this man for opening up and sharing his stories💯🙏

[@johnreilly6819]

No I think it is St Eddie's at East Gosford maybe he went to school there

[@sammyleah2192]

I completely agree with nico my heart goes out to him but also there is ppl with life long depression that have no skills to create a success like he has i just hope hes grateful for his talent and takes it by the horns

[@dannytaylor6861]

Nick it's something you don't know your in until sometimes your talked to or even sit down for a hard think. So proud you went for help and now look at who you have become. Holly your playing so well at Melbourne and seem to be getting better each match. Look forward 1 day to come see you live. And a company I've invested in after one more year I can look to help sponsor where is needed. Maybe youth is the place but I will need help.

[@weburnitatbothends]
