Nice! I'd forgotten about the Ken Stephen for Ronnie which counts him in too. Not by any means saying any of them will end up there, just interesting looking at the criteria and seeing who would be eligible.
Listening to Sharkcast show when Sam interviews the Sharks Historian (sorry - I forget his name). They said it was tough with some of the names that didn't make it with the criteria - though Gavin Miller summed it best.

Basically said this list is for the best of the best, so it should be extremely hard to make it.

Yeah I think the final step for Nicho is to realise he doesn't have to tell the media everything on his mind.

But if he is going to talk, this is what I wanted to hear.

“I’m just worried about winning a premiership and that’s it — the Sharks come first,” Hynes said when asked if his feelings about the rep arena have changed.

“If it (rep selection) happens again, it happens again. But all I want to do is win a premiership for the Sharks.

“If we’re in contention to be there at the end of the year then we should be around the top of the table during mid-year — and if we’re doing that then I should be playing good footy.

“If my name gets chucked up again, so be it. But I’m not sitting here saying a goal of mine is to play Origin next year because it’s always a dream to play Origin, but my goal is purely just to make sure the Sharks are in a position to win a comp.

“I reckon I’ve probably been guilty in the past of saying (in the media) ‘I want to play Origin this year’ and maybe losing sight of other stuff.

“But right now where I’m at in my career and my life is just purely the fact that I always want the Sharks to be in a position to win a premiership — that’s all that matters to me.”

Yep, i love what he says but i feel like hes putting that media target on his back at times.

Just because they love to bring people down.

Just shut the **** up Nicho. The journalists and media aren’t your friends. Your fans don’t want to hear it, they want to see it. Dead set this bloke is a slow learner – how many times does a need this to come back and bite him in the arse? He will be talking up Origin next.

Either straight up brush it, deflect or just ****ing lie. I mean he already said “weddings are awesome” so we know the kid can lie.
I've never been to a bad wedding besides arguably the one when I was like 6 where god smote me down some stairs.
You must need more fun friends and family!

Actually tbf one I was best man at a full on Catholic service was a ****ing ballache until I got set free from the ceremony.

The reception can be. But I’ve also been to a few **** ones of those.

Yep, at first it was like “oh Nichos a likeable guy” but now the media use his words against him when he has a bad game
Time to walk the walk. Talking only goes so far

I ****in love the guy. But its time to **** the naysayers up, or hes just gunna keep copping it.

I wouldnt even entertain the origin talk. Id say, nah im not thinking about it, cos if i get picked its only because your first choice guys are out, then if we lose, no matter the circumstances, im the scapegoat.

The carry on after game 1 last year where they played the entire game 13v12 was actually disgusting from the media

Nicho would get hounded the same if not worse if he said that

At the end of the day if nobody cared the media wouldn't write anything, but people do like to fling **** at Nicho and I think most of it gets flung regardless of what he says, doesn't say, grunts or any way that he responds.
NRL player would still like to play rep but will focus on NRL is not a story. NRL player enjoys friends wedding is not a story. If it is not Nicho they don't publish it. Because it is Nicho they find a way to make something of it (because they have nothing better to report on) regardless.

If Moses, now that he is popular, said he still wants to play rep but will focus on the Eels and had fun at a friends wedding in the offseason it wouldn't make print right now and his NRL team is in a far worse state but he isn't an NRL fan whipping boy anymore.

100%

This other article shows your point. They just needed Nicho somewhere in the headline / artile for clickbait. Even the headline itself makes you think it is a quote from Nicho.

The actual article (how they use Nicho's absence from the Allstars to make their point) is stupid
