Fans have Footy Heartthrob Nicho Hynes mentioned the dreaded C -word this year – here is why they should stop

Nicho Hynes has sworn that there will be a time in 2025 when he comes up to nail a game-winning field goal, after criticism of his inability to get Cronulla’s Golden-Punt collision with West Tigers in ice cold.

Even before he bounced back from that missed opportunity with a master class against Parramatta, Hynes felt satisfied with his shape on the sixth -placed sharks.

Through nine games this season, the halfback has only produced three proys, helps less than he succeeded the entire 2024 campaign.

Hynes has confronted with increasing control over his performance in clutch situations, with some fans called him a ‘choker’ since he had no major impact in Cronulla’s first round loss against Penrith in Las Vegas.

Three of his try-assists came in the 28-18 victory of the Sharks over Magic Round, only five days further from the loss to The TigersIn which Hynes missed three shots in a game-winning field goal.

That was not worried about Hynes, even if it had led the last debate round about his record in printing games.

Debate is furious about how the Cronulla star performs in printing situations

“I feel good. I am not worried about my game, I play really good footy, I feel. My coaching staff is happy, all my players are happy, “he said.

“I don’t listen to something (criticism) that is going on. I play good footy, and if I know deep down that I am playing good footy, that’s the only thing that counts.

“I still feel that I played a good game last week, I just don’t have a field goal ice.”

After that loss for the Tigers, the sharks were told by the NRL that they should have been fined in extra time because Alex Seyfarth was sidelined and tried to load one of Hynes’ field goal attempts.

The non-call denied Hynes the chance to be the hero by giving a game-winning fine goal.

But he said there would always be moments when luck was not on his side.

(It was against the eels). It won’t be some weeks, “he said.

‘There will be a time this year when we need a field goal and I am going to put myself in position to try to nail it. I keep doing that.

‘I’m not going to avoid difficult things. I keep fighting hard and putting our team in position to win tight Footy matches. ‘

Getting off social media and spending time with loved ones have been the secrets of Hynes’ happiness this season.

The 28-year-old currently lives with his girlfriend, best friend and mother-evenings his beloved dog.

“He doesn’t give *** as I win or loss,” said Hynes about his four -legged friend.

‘I have things in place where I don’t have to be near negativity.

‘I don’t need no no-sayers in my life, I don’t go on social media anymore, I just put myself with people who love me and I love.

“Life can’t be better, to be honest. Win, loss or drawing, I can still go home and smile and lead a good life. I am super happy. ‘
