Official Nicho Hynes

Fair chance he'll want to with Griffen as coach.

Happy to accept!

 

[HaroldBishop]

According to Riccio we're paying this guy 550k. From memory Moyza on 350k.

Gee our cap is in good shape if we're only spending 900k on our number 1 halves pairing.

With Fifita either in his final year or being on a massively reduced deal next year, we will have a bit to spend next year if we choose to.

Nicho will want an uplift next contract no doubt but is looking likely that he will truly deserve one

I reckon our whole spine would be massive unders at the moment!

He signed a three year deal but I have no issue at all bumping him up if he deserves it.

Tbh I'd be surprised if he's the type of guy who would kick up a fuss about it either, he's not a DCE.

Might have to bump them all up after we win the comp ya reckon?

I agree.
Sorry I meant when we renegotiate him but I’m also not against an uplift if it comes with an extended term.

In that scenario
NO DOUBT!

 

[Proud Shark]

If he kills it this year put an extension in front of him for a progressive upgrade and 2/3 more years

Love this bloke. Just worried that teams are going to figure out our game plan of us always giving it to Hynes to kick.

He’s got that big of a boot, he’s able to stand deep enough where I don’t think that’s a concern.

In positive signs he was tackled one set and Moylan sprinted straight in to take kick and it was decent. Hopefully he continues to build into making himself available as a kick option.

You're right, you can always stand a step or two deeper to get a kick away regardless of the pressure. If anything that can isolate the pressure runner even more allowing you to get around them.

Hynes only has the 5th most kick meters (average) in NRL currently, 411.2
7 players are on 400+, two more on 350+, total of 12 on 300+

For average kick total he is actually all the way down at 9th (12). In total 12 players have 10+ kicks per game.

Yes most of these sides have a secondary kicker taking a little more than Moyza but the actual workload isn't unusual.

 

[HaroldBishop]

will definitely play origin this year, the bloke is absolutely elite

Thinking about this more, I doubt he will unless there are injuries.

They'll want to squeeze Murray, Radley and Yeo in and we all know Fittler has a massive boner for Wighton.

I think we see Blayke kick more regularly out of dummy half after last night.

Has been fantastic so far this year and we are seeing him gain confidence and back himself more with each game.

This is what I worry about most with Moylan. The big teams will figure out Hynes and then what ? Means fk all when winning but when losing it means everything to have Moylan firing

 

[Sir Chadley]

I am loving what this fellow is doing. Seems to have plenty of time to do things and has a sixth sense on when to let go of the ball and when not to.

I think this level of excitement was around too when we signed SJ (we all had no idea what was to come) but I feel much more confident this time.

The circumstances are different - SJ was a Flanno recruitment that had no real plan behind it and then coached by JMo with a team that was always on the back foot.

Here we now have Fitz who's recruitment has been A1 so far, signing players to suit the structure he wants to play rather than recruiting a big name that perhaps won't.

Nicho also seems to be more a team man than SJ, which isn't hard to beat I guess.

 

[Jaz]

The excitement around SJ was almost entirely built on reputation. It took him over a year to really hit his stride with us.

Nicho's already killing it. He's gotta back up his strong start but it looks incredibly promising.

Happy days.

Additionally he wasn't a recruit we hunted down, he just became available late in preseason not long after we found out Val was ditching us.
He wasn't even brought in to fill a need - Chad and Moylan had been a good halves partnership the year before.

There were a few of us on on here that called SJ and Moylan to turn us into the warriors and be an inconsistent team..

The most exciting signings to me are the Finucanes, Ennis, Mc Innes etc

Is this a direct quote from Gus?

At 0.57 on the counter. You should be a commentator Chadley.

I'm absolutely stoked with the signing too. All the pieces seem to be falling into place for the club at the moment.
