Sharks fans can rest easy despite Nicho Hynes having ice on his right groin as Addin Fonua-Blake showed why he's been touted as one of the greatest signings in club history and the man capable of taking them from a finals side to a genuine premiership threat.

The field dimensions may have been a bit smaller to prepare the players for Allegiant Stadium, but that didn't stop livewire fullback Kaeo Weekes from finding the space he needed to set up the try of the pre-season on Thursday.

"Just a little bit of a tight adductor, but I think it was the plan to play that long anyway," Hynes said post match.

The Tongan tormentor Fonua-Blake stepped his way through the line and powered his way over five minutes into the second half as Cronulla overcame a slow start to beat the Raiders 40-10 as Hynes showed glimpses of his best before he came off for a scheduled break and had no injury concerns despite sporting an ice pack.
