Official Sam Hughes contract extension

[maroondog72]

Low and behold some people have differing opinions! Holy shit the shock

As you have made us all aware repeatedly.

 

[KLil]

Clearly an NRL player, just needs some luck with injuries and consistent minutes.

Should become a starter by mid season.

 

[Bulldogs09]

In a perfect world a player like Hughes isn’t good enough for the dogs but it’s a great signing for the bottom 4 version.

[Berries]

As you have made us all aware repeatedly.

I understand it causes you pain so I am trying to mitigate that for you

Whoever he's ready, just don't rush him.

Lol

 

[B-Train]

Hughes could have a huge year if he can stay healthy. There are tonnes of minutes available and he has the upside to have some big games.

 

[ElMagicElMasri]

You where saying?

lmao still overwhelmingly positive, just wanted to get in because the sooking over negative comments before one has even been made is going overboard. Just play the ball not the man, regardless of what your opinion is.

Hopefully Hughes can cement himself this year and we've got a slight discount on him by signing him up now.

Yeah he was an astute buy no doubt.

 

[flamebouyant]

That’s good , we can’t risk any of our forwards this year , max is a different player playing injury free and we are really going to need them all to stay healthy as long as possible.

Agreed. Let's hope the curse has been lifted.

 

[Menteek]

Yeah he was an astute buy no doubt.

he will surprise us. I’ve always said any team in the competition can go from the bottom to the top within the season, no matter how bad their previous season was. What is the magic formula other than luck?

confidence.

if we can get real quick on getting the confidence in the team then the sky is the limit. 2008>2009 is a perfect scenario. 2011>2012

 

[ILiveForDib]

Not ones standing ahead of him our middles all have a chance to make a name for themselves.

 

[KLil]

Great to get this done before the season

Nothing on King yet is concerning…

Im starting to think King will not be re-signed if Hughes goes well as a starter.

Can see Gus and CC agreeing to use his money on a top shelf prop moving forward.

Its either we roll with Hughes, King, Hopoi, Todd for the future or let King go and use his money for an alpha prop.

I agree mate and that’s why I am looking forward to Critta playing a full game and the impact that has on the entire teams confidence, we have lacked that leadership for way too long.

 

[maroondog72]

Agreed. Let's hope the curse has been lifted.

Amen to that brother.

 

[Mr Beast]

I’m not disappointed with this. Great signing.

That's crazy.

 

[KLil]

That's crazy.

Its crazy because there is plenty of logic behind it.

I love Kingy, would love for him to stay, even as a benchy later if Toddy and Hopoi push for a start BUT for an extra 300k your buying a top shelver and your dead set when ur window opens.

Who are we signing?

 

[KLil]

Who are we signing?

Thats the shit part... Unless you can come to an agreement u aint getting anyone before 26.

You'll look at Leo Thompson, Xavier Willison or Stef Utoikamanu.

OR you tough it out until Hopoi and Toddy are as good as Hughes and King.
