No amount of training makes people backup the way Hulme does and he also can beat a man by stepping and accelerating away (another trick that 95% of rugby players never quite get good at).

You also get 100% effort, quick distribution and good technique when tackling for free.

I and many others forgive him the mistakes he's made recently for a number of reasons, such as age/lack of experience, playing out of position and because we all want to see local lads getting a chance and doing well.

I don't care what position he's playing, he's a natural rugby player and if our coaches can't see that but think that Coyle, Allen, Pickergill etc are good players for Superleague then it makes me worry about the future on the field performances of our club.

I'm also sorry to see Lunt and Varks go, but when it comes to Hulme their decision is just wrong!
