I hope we are already looking to upgrade and extend. At this stage I would be comfortable with any figure for as long as he wants. Outstanding football player and by all reports, even better human.

The Cronulla Sharks want to sign superstar halfback Nicho Hynes to a lifetime contract.

Talks will soon begin with the Dally M champion around a multi-million-dollar extension.

“We want Nicho at the club for the rest of his playing career and after football as well,” says Sharks chairman Steve Mace.

“On and off the field he is what our DNA is all about.

“When the time is right we will sit down and have the conversation around a long-term deal.”

Hynes originally signed a three-year contract at the Sharks, worth $600,000-a-season, according to News Corp’s NRL Rich-100 list.

His value has increased substantially since as he has developed from a good to great football player.

The Sharks will be looking at a four-year contract extension, worth around $3.5 million.

Talks would have already started had it not been for the tumultuous recent events the 26-year-old halfback has been dealing with … his mum now in custody after being found guilty of heroin supply.

The case has knocked him around.

He went from the courtroom steps in Gosford to play in New Zealand because he is so passionate about his Indigenous culture.

There was early talk Hynes was emotionally struggling to an extent where he would withdraw from the All Stars camp and return home.

Instead he stayed and had a blinder in the Indigenous team’s victory, winning the Preston Campbell Medal.

In an interview after the game, Indigenous coach Ron Griffiths spoke beautifully of his halfback.

“He’s destined for greatness,” Griffiths said, “He doesn’t walk past anyone without saying hello and smiling and above all else he’s a beautiful person. He just carries himself, his persona around the group, he just brings everyone together.”

In the Shire, Hynes is like a god.

The Sharks have had their local heroes over the years … the likes of Andrew Ettingshausen, Paul Gallen, Steve Rogers and Gavin Miller.

Hynes is up there with them after only 12 months with the club, such is the impression he has made as a footballer and a role model.

Plus he’s got the Ettingshausen looks to go with his footy ability.

Kids, mums, dads and everyone love him.

Hynes will eventually be the captain and face of the club.

The kid who has gone from the Central Coast and a tough upbringing to Manly juniors, to Mackay, to Melbourne on the way to becoming an NRL poster boy at the Sharks.

It’s why Mace is about to start talks regarding the life contract.

His value to the Sharks is priceless.

Club really needs to get right behind him (which I’m sure they will) as he will need as much support as possible through all of this.

Maybe a sprinkling of reality required . Sure Nicho is a fan favourite & we should support him like any of our players through tough times .

The key quote in the above article is " When the time is right " & " have a conversation about a long term deal " .

Agree being an " NRL poster boy " is worth $$ to our club but doesn't make a great player or mean lifetime allegiance to our club eg Valentine.

Nicho is still in the " potential " category as a player . To move to the next level he needs to show he can lead us to close out winning positions such as the Cowboys semi last season & not look like a deer in headlights as happened in the Souths semi.

We can then look at an ugrade and " have a conversation about a long term deal " rather than let Nicho's manager & Buzz talk us into a "lifetime deal " or get us to follow the @Blues_Eyes 84 approach and " Give him whatever he wants " .

He's on 600k now, nobody can argue he's worth more than that now meaning an upgrade is sensible.
