He was scorned by his 12 minutes in Origin I last year. Now, the Sharks halfback looms as Michael Maguire’s most important player.
Success for the Cronulla Sharks this season will be defined by the matches they win in September. After being barrelled out of the finals for two consecutive seasons, just one will do.
Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon, an Origin winner for NSW as a player and assistant coach, says Hynes’ persona as a Sensitive New-Age Halfback betrays his aggressiveness. “But he’s in a good space. He’s been a lot better at dealing with external pressure and controlling our team with far more clarity in his game.”He might be a 27-year-old player, but he’s only in his third season as a halfback, a position that can take a lifetime to master.
“If he’s got a clearly defined role for NSW that he can go after, he’ll perform well. I don’t know if he’s going to be picked, but I feel like he won’t die wondering during the game. He’ll have a go.”‘That was the first footy adversity he’d ever faced. It was a lesson for him.’Nathan Cleary’s hamstring injury and fitness doubts about Mitchell Moses leave Maguire with few cards to play.
They were described as “inseparable” as Hynes picked Cherry-Evans’ experienced brain about playing at representative level.
