Cronulla are sweating on the outcome of scans on Nicho Hynes’ ankle after the Sharks superstar had to be assisted from the field at training on Monday.
Hynes went down in pain during an opposed session at PointsBet Stadium shortly before he was due to front the media.
The 28-year-old had to be taken from the field by two people, with the halfback not placing any weight on his ankle as he was whisked off for scans.
It comes after Hynes’ heroic actions in talking down a person from committing suicide at a well-known bridge on the NSW south coast.
On Monday morning, 2GB sports presenter Spiro Christopoulos told listeners that Hynes prevented a person from jumping off the Sea Cliff Bridge near Wollongong, about an hour’s drive south of Sydney.
Christopoulos said that he sent a text message to the 2022 Dally M Medallist to verify the story and received the reply: ‘Yeah, mate. It happened. Crazy stuff.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Hynes’ club and manager for more information
Cronulla spent Monday afternoon awaiting the results of tests on Hynes’ ankle, as they face the proposition of time without the 2022 Dally M Medallist.
It’s always hard when someone goes down, especially at training when we’re not even playing,’ hooker Blayke Brailey said.
‘Fingers crossed it is nothing too major
‘We’ll definitely be getting around him, making sure he is alright. If it happened to one of us he would be the first one there.’
Any injury to Hynes’ would represent rotten timing for the Sharks.
The club have lost five of their last six games, and have gone from first on the ladder to only four points clear of 10th spot.
Hynes’ form has come under intense scrutiny, after being dropped from NSW’s State of Origin team in that time.
