Hynes is a fullback who was stuck behind a better fullback at the Purple Cheats and thus went to market after a good year filling in as a utility Mr. Fix It much like Wishart has been used in this years Purple Cheat's side.
Went to Sharks as an unproven and dare I say manufactured halfback. Like the rest of the Sharks, he's a bit of flat track bully. Great when everything is humming along nicely. Goes missing just like Hunt when it counts. And lets get real, 2nd best halfback? Nonsense. He's not even in the top 5 NRL halfbacks. Cleary, Hughes, DCE, Walker, Moses all easily in front of him. Dearden too if you count him as a 7.
Sure, there's a bit of a Trindall bandwagon and he's still got a lot to prove but you can tell he's a genuine half with footy smarts - they're rare. His performance last weekend was masterful.
Now, if you were to offer me Hynes as a fullback - I'd take him instantly. But if you were to offer me a choice between Trindall and Hynes as halfback - I'd pick Trindall every single time.
