Canberra Raiders miss out on Nicho Hynes
Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes

With Canberra’s finals hopes fading after just one win in their past seven matches, the Raiders are also looking beyond this season in the search for a replacement playmaker and Hynes has emerged as a possible target.

This is a no brainer. Far more enthusiastic at this than Dufty.

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
Weighing up is a cover up for the club trying to be discreet about their business... we are all in on Hynes!

I think I'd play Hynes at 7 next year if we signed him.

Time for Belly Ache to put in a strong recommendation for his good mate Ricky.
Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
This would be such a win from both an on field and off field perspective. He's hardly asking for a ton of money either

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
With the amount of other clubs interested I'd say our chances of landing this one is about 0 to none.

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
We need to get Hynes as the No. 1 priority. For No. 1. We should be going all out. Then we need the best organising half we can afford - recognising that there aren't a lot of options. We need to keep options open there, whoever is signed... unless a left field player becomes available. We desperately need some organisation and ball playing in the spine.

It's because he is a man of appetite.Raiders666 wrote: ↑May 27, 2021, 7:40 pmDufty just isn't that good...Not sure why Pigman loves him so much
He has walked the desert of the hole runner with Dugan first and now CNK. He longs for the ball playing fullback and is willing to forsake us all to attain it.
He's thirsty is what I'm trying to say.

Not as enthused as some about Hynes, but I'd take him over silly Dufty.

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
I would have been very confident in signing him 8 weeks ago... I feel like the broncos are a more appealing option at the moment. I hope Bellamy puts in a good word for us.

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
Don - Welcome to our facilities Nicho, I’d be honoured to show you around.
Nicho - I’m looking forward to it, where’s the beach ?
Don - Sorry son there’s no beach but our bike tracks are world class.
Nicho - Later dude.

You think he's a "dude" bro more than a "bra" bro?

There is virtually zero chance we will get Hines. Players in high demand command high wages, sometimes exceeding their value, and prefer the lifestyle flexibility of the big smoke.
We are better off chasing value buys with significant upside, and basically positioning ourselves as the best development club in the NRL.

Now do one for players who are keen on casting the rod like Wighton and Scott.

Great work by Nicho on that try. The more I see him play, the more I'm convinced that we need to go all in.

Re: Canberra Raiders eye Nicho Hynes
You’d have to think that despite all of our woes, a spine of CNK, Hynes, Wighton and Hodgo would actually still be one of the better spines in the comp.
Chase him hard. Who cares if we pay overs it’s not like we we doing anything else
