Nicho Hynes forced off early as Roosters defeat Cronulla

Cronulla Sharks halfback Nicho Hynes was forced from his match early after failing a head injury assessment. The incident occurred just 90 seconds into the game following a tackle involving Salesi Foketi.

While Hynes was sidelined, the Sydney Roosters secured a 46-10 victory at Allianz Stadium, aided by a strong performance from opposing halfback Daly Cherry-Evans. The loss adds to the scrutiny surrounding Hynes' postseason performance, though the early exit due to injury provides a different context to his recent finals record.
