Nicho Hynes has returned to Cronulla training showing no ill effects from NSW's opening State of Origin disappointment, with Sharks players adamant the No.7 remains his old self.

Hynes on Tuesday had his first session back with Cronulla since the Blues' chastening series-opening loss last week, showing no signs of his problematic calf at Shark Park.
