I thought Atkinson got more share of the ball today, was given more chances to run, pass and kick and sometimes he was just the man in the spot or he called for it. Hynes seemed happy enough to step back in these moments and let Daniel have a go and Hynes took the reins at other times (same as he does with Tricky next to him).
Daniel has less than a handful of FG games to his name so considering his experience and it's a new combo I think they got the balance at a reasonable level.
Hynes had a few mistakes, is sometimes frustrating decision wise which sometimes makes you wonder where his head is at but he plays at a high intensity and is always looking for an edge or big play. But like most weeks he puts out alot of good with some occasional bad.
He outplayed Hunt by some margin who other than a couple passes didn't offer all that much
It's unrealistic to expect Hynes to play some sort of perfect half back / game manager performance every week, if he had just arrived at the club I think we would be pretty bloody happy with him. He's still the best halfback the Sharks have had since Kimmorley over 15 years ago.
What halves are better than him in the NRL? - Cleary and Hughes probably the only ones but even then I dunno if I would do a swap cause Nicho suits what this team is trying to do.
