| Jack Hughes signs for 5 years, (3 years plus a club option for a further 2).

Good move, the lad's showing good potential and it's not an overly long deal given the option's in Wigan's favour.

| Didn't we used to have a centre called George somebody?
It is great to see Jack take his chance. Every problem creates an opportunity.

As you say, the lad's taking his chance and that's all he can do. Ultimately what he's been doing won him this contract, what he does next determines whether the club will exercise the option on the remaining two years. He's the master of his own destiny and while he wants to play for Wigan, I wish him very well.

| Although I think Hughes has done his job. Lets not forget we are now down to the bare bones at centre. Gleeson left, then Tomkins left. George is now injured.
I am chuffed he has got a deal to stay at the club, he goes about his work really well. However, I don't think he has the pace or the skill to be a really good centre. Just compare him to Bridge and Atkins at wire.

| I like all the leadership qualities attributed to the lad. Smart move. A very promising player. Hopefully he gets a shot in the second row this week against Widnes.

It is unfair to compare him with Bridge and Atkins as they are seasoned pros.

Even in his earlier years though, Atkins had bags of pace. Bridge has played at 6 before so he has a far superior skill set even when he was younger.
Hughes doesn't have pace, he isn't a really skillfull player. He works hard, all points to a backrower for me. Joel Tomkins was the opposite, playing in the backrow and yet he was quicker than a lot of outside backs with the skills to match.

| Was confused with his selection ahead of Gelling for the Leeds game, but other than a few errors in the first half on Sunday (not the only one) he's been superb.
