Doesn't really say much.

The Sharks have locked in $3 million worth of talent already and now they are prepared to make Nicho Hynes a $1 million player and the highest paid player in the club’s history.

Cronulla have tied down fullback Will Kennedy to a two-year extension. Kennedy’s signing now completes a quintet of deals done with Cronulla’s entire backline now locked in long-term. Ronaldo Mulitalo is also on a two-year contract while Sione Katoa, Sifa Talakai and Jesse Ramien will remain Sharks until at least the end of 2026.

The Sharks are expected to announce Kennedy‘s re-signing this week.

Just two weeks ago he told News Corp of his plan to re-sign.

“I want to stay at the club, I love the Sharks,‘’ Kennedy said.

“I‘ve been here since SG Ball (under-19) so I would love to stay. What Fitzy (coach Craig Fitzgibbon) is doing and what he’s brought to the club is special.

“Hopefully we can nut something out pretty soon.‘’

Sam Stonestreet and Braydon Trindall have also re-signed, meaning Cronulla have 23 players already secured until at least the end of next year.

Cronulla’s attention will now shift to Hynes as they put the finishing touches on a mega five-year contract extension.

The deal will also make Hynes the club’s first million-dollar player. A feat not even recent club greats including Paul Gallen, Andrew Fifita, Wade Graham or Luke Lewis could achieve.

The Sharks are also keen to lockdown back-rower Teig Wilton – whose deal expires at the end of this season – on a multi-year deal.

For Hynes though – his new deal will once again see him almost double his salary. He joined the Sharks last season on a contract worth about $600,000 which was comfortably more than double what he earnt during his final season at the Storm.

Cronulla are desperate to secure Hynes before he is able to hit the open market on November 1 where his value could soar to more than $1.2 million a season off the back of his Dally M winning season last year.

The Eels re-signed halfback Mitchell Moses for that figure after he rejected a contract worth $1.5 million to join the Tigers.

Canberra ace Jack Wighton is also expected to hit the seven figure mark after deciding to test his market value.

Hynes confirmed the club had kickstarted contract talks and joked about wanting a “20-year-deal”.

“I just hope something happens and gets done, my manager will sort that out and the club will sort that out, so hopefully they’re talking as we speak because I’d love to stay … then hopefully I’m here forever,” he told SEN. “Ideally I’d love to be here for the rest of my career then I’d like to go straight into coaching.”

The bloke deserves one average game.

For one average game, he gives you 10 amazing games.

Thought he was unlucky. He should of had a try if the ref let the game play on when the Warriors lost the ball.

His kick game is getting so much better. All those kick he placed a metre out….not bad for a guy who everyone assumed had no kicking game when he signed here huh

Warriors played stop when the ref blew the whistle, don't think he would have scored.
Maybe so but we will never know. This is the whole issue with the refereeing in the sport. Its not about bias or this belief some teams get all the calls. Every team is receiving these dud calls and its affecting results of games.

Warriors player gets binned for a “hip drop” which was not a hipdrop, so when Finucane kinda himself in the same position, they have no choice but to square it up. Let the players determine the result. The refs are in a spot at the moment where they feel they have to make a call and not just let play on happen.

Even if Nicho did get tackled hes 30 metres minimum up the field. That refs error at minimum cost a lot of field position

Everyone makes mistakes, including the refs, but there has been way to many terrible calls by the officials.

The bunker gets too involved now and to call play back 3, 4 or 5 tackles is ridiculous.

Also, the “knock on” calls when someone is scrounging for a lost ball on the ground.
How the **** do they really find a knock on there? If you slow any play down slow enough or review something long enough you will most likely find a micro issue that you can rule on.

I think sometimes the bunker just wants to manufacture a reason to back the on field ref’s call.

“ball through the hands and hits the ground. MUST be a knock on”. Don’t worry that the ball has actually gone backwards!

They are killing this game!
