Sharks halfback Nicho Hynes has lamented some “crucial errors” after his side bowed out of the finals in disappointing fashion.

“They are a quality opposition and we made it hard for ourselves at time,” he told Nine.

“Sometimes you’re not good enough and it’s not your night.

“We were leading the second half 2-0 at some stage and then I dropped that ball, made a bit of a crucial error and then [gave away] a penalty and then Briton’s offload.

“We just compounded errors and that cost us in the end.”
