Trindall does not have the composure to be a 7 in my opinion. His decision making leaves a lot to be desired and he seems rushed a lot of the time. He's an out and out 6.

I can't even be bothered trying to work out what Hynes is anymore, whatever he had a few seasons ago has completely gone leaving us with a very expensive millstone around the clubs neck. He will never get offered a contract near what he's on now and I wouldn't expect him to walk away from that money so we're stuck with this issue.

The club signed a utility from a great system who they thought had the game to play 7 in a mid table team. He makes a immediate impact, wins the Dally M. Club thinks wow, we lucked into an elite player, better sign him to an extended elite player contract. Unfortunately, said player was a flash in the pan and has regressed badly. Cronullafied.

And remember he had Moylan outside of him, with all his faults Moyza could put a try on, so Hynes had that, when he had to be the key he couldn't

I think this is half the problem. Put a player like Moylan outside him now and maybe things would be different. Maybe. Didn’t too bad with Atkinson last year.

Maybe we go back to market.
Maybe we look what else we have in the pantry.
But whatever we do, we win nothing with this bloke.
Personally I can't stand watching his sideways and backwards running and the folding in fear... and...I actually feel sorry for the guy. Nobody likes to see someone continually fold under pressure.
SOO.
Top 4 finals.
Clutch plays.

I don't need to see this poor bugger go to shit again and again.
Can't be good for his mental health.
Plus I'm sick of the losing.

However, first thing I would do is put the 7 on Trindalls back. I believe you would see a different player.
Yep...he hasn't been great. But I reckon you can track this decline in many players form back to pre-SOO failure by Hynes where the side was flying.
I reckon this has created a situation where everybody knows there's an issue that will not be addressed and it's become a cancer through the side and created a head f**k.
When issues aren't confronted in any form of life, false scenarios are created.
Probably seeing the same thing at Manly with their halfback.

If we could offload Hynes for close to what he is on we can otherwise we need to use our depth.
There is a club normally dumb enough to buy players like this, Hello Flanno

Stop dreaming. NH is going nowhere. Imagine the negative headlines of us ditching him. Marketing dream boy. Not to mention he is going like a busted. No one wants him for the footy bit. Lock In, 4 more years.

Wrong. Flanno does NOT recruit many "elite" players. He loves a serviceable journeyman as his main recruitment strategy. He'd also have to pair him with Kyle and adopt Fitz's failed hybrid half strategy.

If we keep him for 4 more years, we might as well not watch the team, Hynes is finished when the pressure is on he fails to show up.
If he got dropped and made play Reggie's for 1 game I don't think he would ever be back in first grade, the shock being dropped he would basically give up

The only way he could make it in the halves is with the 6 on his back and with a dominant half and all he has to do is run.
That's all he is...a ball runner.

Not only do we have him at 7 we have farked the actual 7's head so he doesn't know what his role is. There's an official unofficial pecking order of Hynes, daylight then Trindall.
Nobody will admit it. But Trindall sees the ads, the billboards, the pay check and he knows who the main man is.
What is Trindalls role?
Hes been halfback all his life.
What's his role now?
It's certainly not a running game.
Hes not the organiser.
What is it?
the coach has been saying for 2 years theyre still learning...someone's not getting it.
Does the club provide learning support for slow learners?


Hynes at 6 playing alongside cleary or Moses he would have a career. Hes probably worth 500K at a stretch give or take 100K depending on how good he is and if he goal kicks.
No pressure.
He's a dylan brown. Brilliant running game when Moses plays he only has to catch and run.
When Moses was injured they couldn't win a game and he was useless. All the talk was knights have bought a lemon.
They're paying him a mill next year.
As 7. Obrien and Fitz. Very good assistants apparently.
Both being found out buying halfbacks it would seem.
