When presented with the moment to dispel a perception that he requires a pack of Strepsils when the lights are on him, Nicho Hynes instead got lost in them.
Before picking his team for game one, NSW coach Michael Maguire was looking for players that walked towards the fire, not away from it.
The Blues’ attack looked directionless, and often his contributions yielded the dysfunction that he’s assigned to avoid from happening.His highlight reel moment, a well-placed cross-field kick that was made to look even better thanks to the aerial ability of Dragons winger Zac Lomax, glossed over what was a coaches’ guide on how to butcher an attacking set.
Instead Hynes went into dummy half, covering for a gassed Robson who couldn’t quite make it into position, and delivered the last tackle play for Lomax to put up an ordinary kick that saw Queensland start the set with all the momentum. They went on to score. The critics last year asked what Fittler was thinking when he brought Hynes on to defend at centre after Tom Trbojevic left the field in game one with 12 minutes remaining, culminating in the missed tackle that saw Cameron Munter put Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow over to give a 12-man Queensland side the win.
