Cronulla Sharks<\/a> halfback Nicho Hynes<\/a> could return to the NRL<\/a> as early as next week as he wraps up his rehabilitation from ankle surgery.<\/p>\n

Hynes has not featured since round 18 after suffering a broken leg and syndesmosis injury during a Sharks training session in July.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old underwent surgery<\/a> days later, putting a line through his name \ufefffor two months.<\/p>\n

Now, the Sharks medical staff are hoping \ufeffHynes will make his long-awaited return to the field next weekend for the penultimate-round clash with the Warriors at home.<\/p>\n

However, Hynes is unwilling to set anything in stone just yet.<\/p>\n

Asked\ufeff when fans can expect to see him back on the field, Hynes was coy.<\/p>\n

"I'm not too sure. \ufeffSome days [the leg] feels really good and some days it doesn't," he told 9News.<\/p>\n

"The surgeon said \ufeffwhen you feel like it's ready to go, you'll know."<\/p>\n

However, Hynes is confident he will be back in time to aid Cronulla's finals crusade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"\ufeffYeah, I reckon. Yeah, I'm pretty confident," he said.<\/p>\n

While sidelined, Hynes has been a frequent sighting alongside Craig Fitzgibbon in the coaches' box \u2014 honing his coaching skills. \ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeffUnder Hynes' guidance, Daniel Atkinson has impressed as his replacement in the halves.<\/p>\n

"I'm not taking credit for [\ufeffAtkinson coming into his own] but that's the side of footy I love, being able to help the younger guys. I want to go into coaching one day," Hynes said.<\/p>\n

Quizzed if he could see himself as a future head coach, Hynes was happy to e\ufeffarn his stripes after footy.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffFitzy always tells me I'm an idiot if I want to go into head coaching but I would love to have my own team," he said.<\/p>\n

\"Sharks<\/p>\n

"\ufeffMaybe I'll start in the Q Cup or NSW Cup, or if I could just stay in the Cronulla system, that would be ideal."<\/p>\n

Cronulla \ufeffare fighting to hold onto fourth spot on the league ladder, needing every point to keep the likes of Canterbury and Manly at bay.<\/p>\n

The Sharks \ufeffmeet the Dragons in Wollongong on Sunday before facing the Warriors at home in round 26 and the Sea Eagles in the final round of the home and away season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
