Assuming he starts this week, is anyone bringing him in?

Seems like a huge risk now that he might only get another game or two, but you never know.

Trindall not named in cup so its not yet obvious hes been 'demoted' (if he has)

Hynes 50/50 for origin based on nsw asst comments.

Imo hynes and trindall are still the halves pairing going forward

As for as chat GPT goes I get the win this week - although there may be limits to the accuracy of this prediction

Not a huge fan of Latrell, he would have done everyone a big favour by putting Anasta on his arse though

Nicho Hynes will be given until Friday to prove his fitness after making steady improvement from a calf injury. The Sharks playmaker continued his positive progression from the calf complaint on Thursday by contributing to selected parts of Cronulla's training session ahead of a huge Magic Round clash with the Roosters in Brisbane.

Sharks officials are yet to make a final call on Hynes, who is working around the clock in order to be fit to return for the competition leaders after missing last weekend's win over the Storm. The Sharks have their final captain's run at PointsBet Stadium on Friday before travelling to Brisbane in the afternoon. (David Riccio)

The only thing I care less about than someone elses h2h is what AI thinks about someone elses h2h

Wondering a bit about Tapine. Anyone know why his minutes have been trending low recently (45 mins)? No niggles reported? Or is it just Ricky being Ricky? Might be fresher after the bye.

Ricky being Ricky, and also Smithies is getting a ton of minutes.

Red hot R15 target for me - want to see the minutes trend up first though.

As a fellow Niko owner for Bye purposes, did you notice him as well straight after FT last week? He was down and writhing and pointing to his right hip (from memory).

Hopefully just a bad cork and won’t be a late out.

As a Fuller owner, I noticed him looking very injured.

Haha. I have both.

I have a Fuller owners suspicion that he is 18th/19th man most weeks and a late in for any situations like this.

Anasta one or two good years as a player, highly overrated his whole career.

Reading Abdo's comments on the rape matter, I'm not expecting much of an outcome from it. Maybe the club might impose a penalty.

Are you referring to Trindall?

No NRL game tonight, but there is State of Origin on.

Quite smart of NRL to put the game on at a time that NRL viewers are normally expecting to watch a game.

Makes it sound like more of a no than a yes imo

On my radar, feels like a much sexier pick than Joliffe. I guess depends on how you're setup to manage R14.

Good thing I'm not a coach, Nicho would be out again otherwise.
