Quote: The Eclipse "It's disappointing to see the lack of faith in one of your own, for starters Hughes hasn't had much game time but people have judged him to be not good enough at 22 years of age.
Compare him to Harrison Hansen when he was 22 and i rate Hughes higher. I just don't see enough perseverance in English Rugby League and until the mindset changes you will always struggle to produce enough quality players.'"
I can see a lot of potential in Hughes and as I said I don't think giving him the no 4 shirt was a wise move and it set him back.
However, like Bateman he is one for the future and at the moment we lack the experience and the particular set of skills H brought to the team on that side. It stands out like a sore thumb. As someone else said the squad management has gone wrong here.
