Official Nicho Hynes

[Blue_Eyes84]

It’s hard though when they created so much space out wide not to push those passes. Both of those passes were on IMO and had their wingers not been so tall and lanky we would be talking about how much of superstar Nicho is with two more try assists…

Well said!!

 

[Shortfin Mako]

Don't forget the two try assists to Newcastle

Knights had two giants (height-wise) on the wings. Two times we tried to pass an overhead pass they intercepted. We abandoned that kind of play after that.

I think it was a good lesson.

Hynes was a bit off, but that can happen. He'll be on next week.

**** game but still good, especially where it counts.

3 Dally M points worthy

Let’s hope Ruan is on the votes

She gave Nicho 6 points

She's a bit like the judges on Eurovision though. Greece and Cyprus would always give each other 12 points no matter how crap they were. If she were judging, Ben Hunt would get her votes.

Greece and Cyprus hate each other. The Turks and Greeks are still doing nacho service on Cyprus.

Not in Eurovision. Turkey and Cyprus do. Turkey invaded Cyprus. I have a Cyprian mate, he was abducted by Turkish army.

Greece is infamous for regularly giving twelve points to Cyprus and receiving twelve points from Cyprus. This exchange of twelve points may be influenced by close cultural ties.

Nicho won't dwell on it at all - he is great at keeping his head up and moving on and he knows he is learning on the trot

Playing what we see is part of they way we attack and the style of players Hynes & Mozza are. Fitz prob encourages it to an extent within reason, sometimes it won't come off but we will more often than not defend our mistakes this year, it's just that these mistakes didn't give our defense a chance as they were runaway intercepts.

Earlier in the year those sort of passes were netting us plenty of points but we were doing them further out from the oppositions try line, while on the run in the play and with and momentum + more depth from ball receivers. Now we seem to be doing the play flatter, slower, up near the line of defense from a set start (at times) and it has been looking clunkier and has been less reliable and effective + teams have done homework on defending us

If wingers start jumping off the line trying to do a newcastle on Hynes I hope we go for a plan B like a dummy or the short balls to second row/centre. Did that well with Nikora today on the right side but we had setup for it and had the structure/decoys to execute it in those moments and plays. Kick in behind the line might work well too if the outside backs are pushing up.

Not every team will have Giraffes on the wings though

Wasn't a great game from Nicho but it wasn't devoid of good moments and contributions from him.

 

[sharks2010]

Yeah, best he just puts that one behind him. Learn some harsh lessons and dont dwell on it. He’s had a good year, if he mentally dwells on this game he’s in trouble.

Hasn't dwelled on his past poor performances and seems to bounce back well so I doubt there will be a change, seems like a player who just gets on with things and doesn't go into his shell, even during games

I hope he got all his intercept throwing out of his system last week. It will break my heart to watch Val streak away and score one at Shark park these days.

Val's about half the height of the Knight's wingers. I think we'll be OK.

As long as the ref keeps them onside and doesn’t let them break early!!!

More chance of Chad throwing one I reckon. I like the guy but you've always had the feeling he has a Kimmorley moment in him

Nicho is mentally tough , got the great ability to not dwell on a mistake , if things don't go Chads way early he is capable of melting . I know which one i want playing for us .

Maloney was great at that and was very very successful

Chad's phone is full of the doubters comments and I dare say his head will be too if a couple start ringing true.

 

[Gumby]

This bloke needs to lift tomorrow night. Our forwards will turn up and set the platform for him. Needs to capitalise on that and take control to get us the win

 

[jocktheshark]

I hope there is a plan to unsettle him , think Wade on Cronk .

Comparing Chad to Cronk
You Chad lovers have gone too far this time!
