Absolutely. I'm not trying to ****can anyone & happy to develop my opinion as they develop their game.

I wonder in time and on the condition that 7. Trindall 6. Metcalf becomes apparent as our most effective long term and consistent partnership if Hynes should be given a spell @ 13 as essentially a tall, speedy 3rd half/ball player in the John Sutton mold.
(McInnes gives Brails a breather @ 9)
I just have this feeling that the perception of what Hynes was signed to come in and play positionally wont be how we end up using him down the track.
Trindall seems the only logical choice for 7 currently on our books and Metcalf looks too promising and exciting a talent to not be playing him @ 6 for more than 15 mins a game and that we should strike while the iron is hot with the kid and fast track his development and maintain his momentum. Then there is Moylan potentially being another 6 to squeeze in some how , we have too many.
Relise Hynes came here to be a starter but ultimately we need to find the best balance for the team, plenty of time to monitor our players and combos and figure it out from there

I think there is absolutely no way Hynes doesn’t play in the halves next year, even if Metcalf finishes the year with 3 good games there. I think Metcalf’s future in this team is as a 14 or maybe even a small chance as a centre.

I've just received an invite to listen in on an event tomorrow featuring Nicho Hynes.
It has been organised by NRL School to Work, this is the NRL's employment branch that helps indigenous kids find work.
They do a terrific job these guys.
Anyway I have no idea about the content in this but they are advertising it as Nicho's story so I guess it'll be how he grew up and the hardships he faced.
I have heard he went through some not so good times.

"in time" maybe but Fitzs first job is to win football games, especially in year 1 of his contract, not to nurture Metcalf because he played one good game against the tigers.
Trindall is the only logical choice at 7 why? Because he has started 4 first grade games there and Hynes has only started 1? Because most on here haven't seen Hynes kick much?
I've seen reference to that too but don't know the details.
At Storm/Sharks meet and greet before Perth 9s he was the only Storm player present that actively engaged with fans/kids so that made a good impression on me at the time.

Yeah his Mum was in and out of jail when he was growing up, would have been incredibly difficult.

That'll happen in some reality in the metaverse mate, but not ours. They're not putting rookies ahead of a marquee signing.

bort - you skipped over the condition I laid down but anyway thanks for confirming that Trindall is a better qualified 7 that has started more games and kicks the ball than our marque signing. never said Metcalf should be locked in @ 6 on the back of a couple good games either but nor should we rule it out and exclude him
Sparkles - can you even comprehend the meaning of 'over time' , that we have it on our side to access and review and 'down the track'? it hardly eludes to first game of season 2022 does it now. we have had marque signings that end up in different positions to the ones they started at or were originally singed for. interestingly nobody other than fitz seems to 100% know what Hynes was actually signed for other than he is starting. some say 7 some say 6 but fmd we have too many 6's
let's say Nicho doesn't become the consistent 7 we need over the first few months of competition - do we keep him there cause he is marque? **** no we make changes for the best balance and future prospects of the team. Good news is Nicho has shown the quality he has as a 1 and a 14 and he does indeed have potential in the halves so this isn't about writing him off before he even puts our jersey on. I am locking further ahead and speculating what position or role he may play in our future. After he spends 12 months at our club I think we will have some more clarity on that

I skipped over your condition because in time with certain conditions met if other things may happen was a bit of a stretch to respond to, I just addressed that you won't see it happen any time soon.
In time if Trindall and Metcalf are locked in as 7 and 6 then sure, Hynes might play a different position. I don't think Hynes becomes a forward any time soon but perhaps in time.
Trindall has not started more games than our marquee signing, only in the 7 which doesn't necessarily say much as Chad, Johnson and Moylan have hardly been able to string games together there. I don't know if he has kicked more balls or not so I certainly wouldn't confirm it but he probably has since he played more at half or 5/8... speaking of which he has also kicked the ball at 5/8 so it's not like there is some requirement that the 7 be selected by kick meters. As a result of Hynes not playing in the halves much I stand by that most on here haven't seen him kick much but that is not evidence Trindall is the better kicker.
Hynes position in the team may very well shift or change in time as other things happen, that's about as much as I can say about things that might happen in time.

Agree that positional switches with Hynes is unlikely to happen anytime soon though we don't seem to even know what positional he would be hypothetically switching from yet either but it's nice to have some quality depth in our spine regardless.
Half of forum discussion is speculation so enjoy and frankly this is more a gut feel thing for me than anything

I agree, I just veered away from your comment a bit as I didn't have much speculation to add to that speculation.
To the first sentence next season pre-season/trials/season start is gunna be real interesting how these 5 guys (and any extras that appear) fit together in the side. We are all very much in guesswork mode.

we will no doubt hear the obligatory pre-season fluff pieces about how hard matty moylan is training the house down and wants to make that 6 spot his own and is learning to kick from dummy half

Can easily see him being shifted to another position if he isn’t performing well in the halves. It’s also not wrong of you to suggest that because from the one game we’ve seen him play there at the storm it wasn’t the best showing. Obviously it’s a small sample but true
I wouldnt rule anything out

Ask him if he's playing 7 for us would you mate?
Bring a footy and ask him to kick it

I did ask a question on the chat but it didn't get asked unfortunately.

What shampoo he uses?
Sir Chadley

Nah, they already asked that. Sunsilk.
Seriously though it was a good session.
It was facilitated by Dean Widders former Parra player. Spoke about his childhood and how rough it was but he didn't seem fazed by it, seemed actually glad he went through it made him tougher.
Biggest thrill was being asked to come to the Storm and he said the first year in that set up was the toughest he had ever had it. First up he had to be in a run from one side of Melbourne to the other.
Showed a fun vid of all the team together playing a table tennis comp where he played Munster in the final. They were both impressive but Nicho beat him.
Said he's enjoyed the Storm set up but is looking forward to coming to the Sharks to play regular first grade. Played with Ramien in Manly Under 20s so he is familiar with Jesse and gave Dale Finucane the biggest wrap about his professionalism and what he'll bring to the club.
Also spoke highly of Wade Graham, Braydon Trindall, Will Kennedy and of course Coach Fitz.
