In a perfect world he kicks on..
I'm confident Hughes, Hopoi and Todd along with Seve will be close to top shelves one day but when?I don’t mean to burst anyone’s bubble it’s just the way I see it here but we may not be going to market for an alpha at all.
If some of the younger guys continue to develop into first graders Todd, Hipoi etc then we are more competitive then we have been. The alpha will come from within like a Seve in 2-3 years time. If you look at say Leota or Fish they took a few years to cement their status and that’s the game plan/ blue print Ciro and Gus have IMO. Unless somebody comes to market unexpectedly I don’t think we are hunting an alpha prop.
Not sure mate I can’t say but am confident within 2-3 years they will all be regular first graders and if not probably won’t be re-signed.I'm confident Hughes, Hopoi and Todd along with Seve will be close to top shelves one day but when?
Rather I cant see us being a top contending pack for another good 3-4 years if we dont go to market.
Also need to remember in the years we have been successful we bought atleast one prop to take us to a GF. Most recent Ogre and Bupa.
Looks like an ad for breath testing, 'What is your Plan B?'.Can barely see his face in that picture. God our marketing team is shit. Yeah, I get the need to have blue but so much blue? Totally unprofessional and a sign that the club is definitely going in the wrong direction. Gus has been her for a number of years now and he should've fixed this shot. It's so basic.
Tbh I am a little bit underwhelmed also. I think he needs to lift. He has a lot of potentialIs this guy just being eased into 1st grade? Is he expected to do more later or is he doing what's expected of himself for now.
I was under the impression he's a gun, to be racking up stats or making breaks or offloads, maybe he's just meant to be a solid forward, nothing special, does the job type of prop.
I understand why he'd have minimal minutes for now, I'm just curious what the coaching mindset would be in the way he's being used or plans for the near future. Because if he's ready then go hard, otherwise grind it out and build up game time in reserve grade.
So many questions, I'd just like to know what's the go with Sam Hughes from a coaching perspective, all I know about him is that he had a disrupted 2023 and back now as a prop, he is a machine, that he was seriously impressing everyone in and around training and has a hard work ethic.
Patience.Tbh I am a little bit underwhelmed also. I think he needs to lift. He has a lot of potential
