The Sharks are facing a crisis as they await the results of scans on Kennedy's injury, with initial concerns suggesting he may be sidelined for the rest of the season.
Adding to their woes, the backup No.1 Kade Dykes has also been ruled out for the remainder of 2023.
This leaves coach Craig Fitzgibbon with two potential options to address the positional dilemma.
The first option involves bringing back Matt Moylan, who initially started his career as a fullback at Penrith before transitioning to a five-eighth role.
However, Moylan's inconsistent form in 2023 led to his replacement by Braydon Trindall in the No.6 position.
Despite this, Fitzgibbon may be enticed to utilize Moylan at fullback in order to maintain the successful partnership between Hynes and Trindall in the halves.
