The Cronulla Sharks have been hit with a blow as Nicho Hynes suffers a training mishap, potentially leaving the team without their star player for a significant period.
Despite starting the season in sensational form, Hynes has faced criticism recently and his club performance has dipped since being dropped from the Blues squad for State of Origin Game 2.
This setback comes at a crucial time for the Sharks, who have been on a losing streak and now find themselves in fourth place after once leading the NRL ladder.
The news of Hynes' injury adds to their woes, with the halfback leaving training on Monday after collapsing due to an ankle injury.
Hynes, who has previously faced the axe after a NSW loss in the State of Origin series, will now undergo scans to determine the extent of his injury.
The team will need to rally together and find a way to turn their form slump around in his absence.
