Doesn't Bother Me Anymore: Hynes Happy Changing Roles

Nicho Hynes has shared insights into his evolving role at Cronulla, expressing how his experiences in 2022 led him to feel the pressure to be a "highlights-reel player." Despite the accolades, including the Dally M award, he recognized the importance of playing a supporting role.

Hynes explained that moderation in the halves has been crucial in shifting his approach to the game. For an extended period during 2022 and 2023, he stood out as one of the most impactful halves across the league.

Notably, he played a pivotal role in Cronulla's attack, touching the ball more than any other player in the NRL other than hookers during that time, indicating the reliance on him for both offensive and kicking duties.

Overall, Hynes has embraced his changing responsibilities on the field. As he navigates this new phase in his career, he understands that his role, while different from being the main spotlight, is equally vital for the team's success.
