I feel the same way.Nicho's not playing the same at all imo.
And it's not a bad thing but our whole attack is very different to last, playing more direct, less of the sling shot moves, if any, though we might be saving those till later.
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 attackI 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.
He’s who I’d pick. I genuinely think a Hynes/Cleary combination might he aces.I honestly think he’ll be playing in the 6 jersey this year for the blues.
He does get main character fever from time to time but yesterday you’re right he worked it out well.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 .
Yeah he should be good with Cleary, he would just need to pick his moments rather than do too much.He’s who I’d pick. I genuinely think a Hynes/Cleary combination might he aces.
If Moses only gets one game back it’s hard to see him taking it.Yeah he should be good with Cleary, he would just need to pick his moments rather than do too much.
Yeah I like Moses but depends when he's back.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.
He’s been especially steppy this season. Hasn’t looked good to me at all.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.
Cleary and KearyI honestly think he’ll be playing in the 6 jersey this year for the blues.
Watching his tackles closely, they had some venon in many of them.30 tackles is crazy
30 tackles is crazy

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.Using SC stats
2022 - 439 tackles @ 19.1 per game
2023 - 350 tackles @ 17.5 per game
2024 - 154 tackles @ 25.7 per game
IMO its Hynes going after it... at one stage on Sunday I reckon I saw him make 4 tackles in a row.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.
And he is tackling harder as well.IMO its Hynes going after it... at one stage on Sunday I reckon I saw him make 4 tackles in a row.
