Nicho doesn’t like contact whether in attack or defence, that’s his problem. You call them trick shots, but I call it doing anything in order not to get hit. He’s a touch football player with an average kicking game and a great passing game. He’ll run into daylight but he’ll stop on a dime when confronted. It’s okay to steer a team around yourself, but all good generals lead into battle, not just front up for the glory. I’d love to see his running meters, tackles and tries as compared to the top few halves. As much as you cant teach speed or natural talent, you cant train courage; but you can teach yourself courage - he’d better get cracking lest he fade away. He seems like a nice fella, I wish him well. Case in point; If Benji had more ticker he would have been an immortal.
Don't agree entirely, he does plenty in defence, but yes, he could take the line on more, but he is a big guy for a halfback and doesn't really have that quick acceleration off the mark and great step to create something out of nothing. To my mind he is definitely a five eighth. Gus is right though; he tries too much for the trick shot all the time, he just needs to simplify his game and be more consistent, that is how Cooper Cronk developed himself into a halfback.
@BulldogDynasty well that would be some good manufacturing lol. I bet Cronk played half back when he was a teenager as he is one of the greats, as he played 4 GF's in a row and won 3 of them.
@@shanerorko8076 Bellamy manufactured both Cronk and Hughes into halfbacks to fill gaping holes. Cronk was just a spare parts utility player in his first two years at Storm.
What trick shots does nicho have? I must keep missing them. Cleary? He’s got tricks. Munster? He’s got tricks. Ponga? Yep. What Nicho is missing, is the balls for big moments. The mental capacity to deal with pressure. That’s what Shane Warne had. You would NEVER see cooper Cronk shanking a kick for touch like he did in that game, that close to the line. You just don’t do it.
Im getting a bit tired of the "hes a young half" or "he hasnt been in the position long". Hes 28, hes not a 22 year old rookie half. Yeah, he may be newish to the role - but it doesnt look like half is his role. A halfback is the steering wheel of the team, if you cant steer, get out of the drivers seat.
He has only been playing half in the NRL for 2.5 years so in half back years, he is young. What does not help is every year he has had a different partner at 6 as well.
@@Sub0x-x40 Pretty tired of the Dally M used in regards to players like Nicho and Wighton. They are the weakest Dally M winners in recent memory. Neither are elite players in the game
Why Nathan Cleary is a very good half-back...he grinds teams down and then he pulls the trigger, very intelligent half and defensively aims up despite his size👌
It'll be proof of purity of professionalism if anyone else other than the Panthers or Storm win the Premiership. The NRL is corrupt. There's no evidence to the contrary.
Let me get this right, Hynes has to save the team from itself every weekend. Every kick put up by the Storm went effectively unchallenged and that is Nicho's fault? You must be kidding me. When the Sharks forwards were effective in defence, the Storm just kicked to the right corner, got the ball back and the rest is history. Gus even said he could sense an upset during commentary but the Sharks left side let them down. Another unjustified pile on.
I actually think both of them would've always made better 5/8ths, bit similar to Benji. Stick either of them alongside even an average halfback that's happy to guide the side around and I think you'd have a winning combo.
Just get nicho away from halves he doesn't need to be that kind of player, just play to your strength nicho which is eyes up footy and running blind sides at tired forwards with support. I would give him an extended run at 14 bring him off bench and play in the middle and just run and tackle. It is all mental for him and he has himself in a knot. I coached once and had a young half, he was playing rubbish thought he had to do everything and ended up just running sideways and passing trying to get to points on a field and kick. I made him play backrow and told him he jsut needs to do 10 hit ups a half and just bring support. All of a sudden he was running straight and laying on tries. Was just a mental switch, and when the defence thinks your a threat with the footy the space opens up around them
Trick shots have been around for a long long time, i can remember as far back as alfie langer and andrew johns... So dont tell me trick shots are a recent thing, we were pretending to be allan langer and andrew johns since the late 90s playing rugby at lunchtime at school.
They are overthinking it. His problem is he never kicks. I went back through every Sharks try this year. One was off his kick and only cause they dropped the ball. Hynes just passes every time.
As much as nicho is gonna cop it especially when they get knocked out will Kennedy did nothing vs Melbourne. They should move nicho to FB and let Atkinson and Tindal run the halves and nicho running around the back where he can still ball play and run and kick but doesn’t need to lead the team around the park
I am a fan of Cronulla Sutherland Sharks in the NRL. Drop Nicho Hynes. Let Braydon Trindal and Daniel Artkinson run the game this Friday evening, and they will win. Thank you.
Sitting in the bleachers at origin 1 made it very evident his kicking game was terrible. He's got a short stabby kick that goes about 30m compared to Moses and Burton who can rip it 60m down field. He's probably better back at fullback running those mad lines he used to, and putting wingers in the corner on the wrap.
No Gus, he doesnt even have trick shots. I dont see any so called trick shots at all. If he gets a quick play the ball he runs to the line & tries to put an outside runner through a hole. Basic halves play. Theres no other creativity evident & certainly no tricks. Hes a fullback.

Pur him in penrith team he wins Melbourne storm he won. Penrith coach was referees coach. Melbourne owned by news corp hmm how stupid are people listening to the people in media the comp is fixed..
Nicho’s body is still growing, he’s probably too tall and gangly for a halfback already. He already looks slower than when he carved it up at the Storm. He’s now a utility bench player probably.
Love him or hate, Gus understands the game.
Gus is full of wisdom. Perspective Context Reality hopefully people listen. Yes nicho as well.

Benji was the same
That's why he's a great fullback
Yep
Cooper Cronk was a manufactured halfback because Storm lost Matt Orford
Aye, and Manly remembers with pride😅

Nicho can make the game disappear in a few touches, one minute Sharks are a chance, next the game is GOOOORNE!!! 🎩 🪄
I’m always learning rugby league being from Melbourne. That was very insightful
Gus knows his stuff,
Remember, he was a great coach.
Yes, Remember, he did coach a bit.
Great summation Mr Gus 👍😁

Trindall is a halfback through and through.
Hynes is a 6.
Absolutely spot on Gus.

Apart from common sense and Occam's razor.

3 years of finals appeances and not a single wins is a major concern for fans. If they dont win this week something has to change.
You nailed it Gus. They need a plan (the coach) and follow it to the letter (the team).
He was a fullback not a live wire half back just like Mitchell who is a centre not a fullback 😊
Dude wasnt even demanding the ball when the sharks we're on the backfoot. Hynes is more of a fullback than a halfback
I agree with gus but i also think hes a bit slow to process the play in his mind when he trys to assess the defensive line.
Gus is always right 👍
Totally agree with Gus
Give nicho Haynes the benefit of the doubt. He will win the game for sharks against cowboys Friday
SJ is in the same mold as nicho he has the highlight reels but never had the game management
I actually think both of them would've always made better 5/8ths, bit similar to Benji. Stick either of them alongside even an average halfback that's happy to guide the side around and I think you'd have a winning combo.

He was a pretty good fullback, he's not a half
If he didn't have ever one running him down he would probably play alot better knowing no one is going to pick at every little mistake
Most obvious thing about Nicho seems to be that he's actually a 5/8th, not an organising half.
So the sharks is Jacob Ingebrigtsen 🤣🤣

Nico #14
so basically gus thinks nicho is not a number seven
Shift him to fullback
Would still be a star if he'd remained under Bellamy. Get the picture? 😜😜
