I feel the same way.
To me, it looks like Nicho is not trying to do everything himself now and that’s why he is fresh when we need him both in attack and defence.

Ans his combo with tricky has been improving immensely which let’s nicho pick his moments And gives him more time with the ball. Adding another dimension to his attack

Looks to me like he's realized that he doesn't have to be a superstar , just plays a role within a good team .
Saying that he seemed to be tackling anything and everything all over the park , that's leadership .

He’s who I’d pick. I genuinely think a Hynes/Cleary combination might he aces.

He does get main character fever from time to time but yesterday you’re right he worked it out well.
For a million dollars we definitely don’t need to see erratic sloppy Hynes anymore

Yeah he should be good with Cleary, he would just need to pick his moments rather than do too much.
If Moses only gets one game back it’s hard to see him taking it.
Burton maybe if dogs left edge keeps going nuts (not that I love that as a Blues fan)
Luai not exactly inspiring confidence for the spot but could take it if Maguire values the pairing & experience.

Yeah I like Moses but depends when he's back.
Luai is average imo, steps all over the place, that's all he has. I really don't see the fuss with him.
He’s been especially steppy this season. Hasn’t looked good to me at all.
He’s average but in his favour, used to big games and Cleary. I wouldn’t be even really considering him on current form.

Cleary and Keary
Watching his tackles closely, they had some venon in many of them.
They weren't just second / third man in or trying to hold on long enough for support to turn up.
This has been an amazing transformation.

Hynes tackled his heart out on Sunday. Nicho's defence this year has been outstanding. That's one part of his game that's improved leaps and bounds.

Any idea how that compares to last year?

Cheers. That's quite a jump up. I wonder if it's him going after it or an opposition game plan to wear him out.

IMO its Hynes going after it... at one stage on Sunday I reckon I saw him make 4 tackles in a row.
And he is tackling harder as well.
