Hughes did well last night but we have to remember it was against a very poor Hull team, probably the worst I have seen, and he was left with plenty of time and space and in many of the situations he was faced it would have been practically impossible to mess it up. He was also against a makeshift centre for much of the game with players for Hull playing out of position. He has certainly never looked that comfortable playing in closer games or against regular centres in other games this season and I dont think people should get carried away by one easy game. By his own admission he also is not a centre and doesnt particulalry like playing there.

I'd still say Hughes is more of a back row than a centre, it's just a credit to him that he looks comfortable in both positions.

It takes more time to develop as a forward than as an outside back generally so he's got a lot more to come. His performance in his preferred position, left side second row, against Catalans was fantastic so he's shown his ability in the forwards as well as the backs.

If he's dropped for the game against Wire I just won't be able to understand it. Tuson seemed to play his usual 10 minutes and getting little chance to show anything. When Hughes is on the bench he gets more game time and so has more to give to the team.
