Has 100% improved.

Really needs to get this, going up with 1 arm habit out of his game.

I’ve been a huge potter of Hugo
He’s played his entire career petrified

Tonight (so far) he has been a different player

Showing some far better signs of late

Well done Hugo .. if this is the norm you have a spot for sure

Pressure and tackling was superb tonight, can't ever fault his running capacity.

Once he learns how to get more of the ball will be a really important player for us if he keeps up this pressure intensity.

Shocked he only had 7 disposals?

5 tackles and some great physical work tonight.

Worked his arse off without the ball.

I'd just about consider him for a vote.

Wow that is shocking. Felt like he had it 15+ times.

He’s really stepped up on the wing the past few weeks. Had a more defensive job last night? Anyway, keep it going HRS. Be nice to finally have a hyphen come good!
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Half a game for me. Yes he actually laid some tackles and copped a bit of pressure back for once. But we need our wingers touching it more than 7 times a game.
I suppose the bar is set low on those who people really want to succeed no matter what.

Nope.

I've called for him to be dropped and delisted most of his career.

Not even fussed by the disposals.

His impact was greater than the number, if you watched it.

Hugo has been one of the real positives in 2024 . He’s been solid for weeks now .
