‘Unfair to put it on a goal kicker’: Fitzgibbon weighs in on Hynes sideline miss as Dolphins down Cronulla in thriller

‘Unfair to put it on a goal kicker ’: Fitzgibbon weighs in on Hynes sideline miss as Dolphins down Cronulla in thriller Cronulla Sharks coach has avoided pinning his side’s 30-28 loss to the Dolphins on halfback Nicho Hynes, who missed sideline conversion on full time to send the game to extra time.

A piece of Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow magic broke the Sharks defence and looked to almost certainly gift the Dolphins the two points, only for a late Sione Katoa try to give Nicho Hynes a chance to send the game to extra time.Hynes, who needed a big game to keep his Origin hopes alive, duly missed from the sideline, but Fitzgibbon was quick to defend his halfback in his post-game press conference.

“We worked hard on not allowing anything to creep in. No excuses, just turn up, get your energy right and spark it.“ clearly a bit of a hangover at the start. We just looked numb in defence. Then got ourselves to a point where it looked awful, and then did something about it.Hammer IGNITES burners for miracle try! | 00:45
