Quote: jonh "He has played nearly all his rugby before Wigan in the back row. I personally think we will need his yards down the middle.'"
I was not dismissing him at a back rower and agree that if he can make 200 meters a game when on the wing then he may have potential in the pack.
Just looks a bit lean (well he did last year)
Quote: jonh "
If I'm not mistaken Hock, Hansen and O'Loughlin were all quite slim as youngsters and eventually filled out as they got older.'"
Your right about that and obviously players will naturally beef up as the years go by.
I suppose what i am saying is that i would prefer to have all that size and athleticism in the 3/4's as opposed to just another big back rower.
I was really looking forward to seeing how him and Thornley got on this year.
Hughes has certainly not embarrassed himself in the centres but i do think he should be slotted into the pack before Gelling.
