I'm convinced you don't actually watch games most of the time, clawski. Don't have a problem with you having your say and I see merit in plenty of what you have to say but your take on Hugos game last night and Cumbos is so far off the boil

Best game I've seen HRS play. Didn't know he only had 7 touches tbh because his impact was far greater than that
I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......

Hugo played a great game. Stats mean nothing. He played his part perfectly. An underrated game. Where as, Cumberland, sure kicked goals but his game was overrated. He simply isn't a team player and to spasmodic. He doesn't even know what he's about to do next on field .

I've been a huge critic of Hugo Ralphsmith

But I thought he played his best game for the Club today

Credit where it is due.....well done Hugo  :clapping

Had a real hard look at him this week after replies to my posts last week.

Thought he ran super hard and and was decent didn't shirk. Made a few mistakes but generally used it well when he got it.
Still not enough ball though. Its not just hugo its been a long term complaint of both Pickett and McIntosh
It just riles me up that our outside mids in general and our flankers  get so little ball well our insiders have had their fair of leather starvation as well at times.

Pretty decent game but we need more and we need more improvement from him.

Between Banks, Brown, McIntosh, Sonsie and Hugo we got just two tackles and we got a top of 16 disposals to a low of just 3.

It happens most weeks and it is a problem.

Tend to agree.

Has improved markedly this year. Still needs to improvd his contest work but deserves his extension

Hugo deserves his extension. A senior player now and currently one of our better and more committed senior players... Shame some of his mates aren't so committed.
