NRL: Cronulla have secured Craig Fitzgibbon's first finals win as coach, proving too strong for the Cowboys in their Semi Final.
Hynes played second fiddle to unheralded No. 6 Braydon Trindall who starred in the victory that booked Cronulla’s first preliminary final since 2018.
But the success brought intense scrutiny and Hynes’ game hasn’t always been able to handle that pressure on the big stage. “The monkey . We didn’t speak about it a hell of a lot but it was there, it was present, so it feels nice,” Hynes said.“We’ve worked so hard to put ourselves in position to win these finals games. It’s more I’m just proud we’re one win away from a grand final.
“ when you win an award like that and you sign a long-term contract, it’s just natural that it comes and it’s going to come throughout my career. Hynes’ biggest supporter through the tough times has been Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon, who has defended his No. 7 at every turn.
