In what can only be described as a thrilling match-up, Cronulla's Nicho Hynes guided the Sharks to a memorable victory over the Roosters in a Magic Round showdown.
Hynes showcased his skills on the field, making a strong case for a potential State of Origin comeback.
The clash between these two NRL powerhouses was nothing short of a classic encounter, with both teams displaying top-notch skills and determination.
It was a fierce battle from start to finish, with relentless attacks and bone-crunching tackles keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Hyped up as the marquee match of the round, both sides lived up to the expectations by putting on a spectacular show.
The players weren't afraid to take risks and throw the ball around, resulting in an impressive tally of 11 tries and 68 points scored in total.
The duel between the star halfbacks, Hynes and Sam Walker, was a sight to behold, as they pulled the strings for their respective teams and executed precise kicks with finesse.
However, it was Hynes who emerged victorious in the end, bolstering his chances of earning a spot in the prestigious Origin arena.
Despite nursing a calf injury that kept him out of the previous week's game against Melbourne, Hynes proved his resilience and showed no signs of slowing down on Saturday night.
His performance was nothing short of legendary, cementing his status as a key player for the Sharks and potentially for the representative level as well.
