How did we all rate Hugo's year?

[WilliamPowell]

Gave him a 2

Didn't improve and I'm not sure he went backwards either.

Low starting base TBBH so it's hard to gauge if he regressed or not

Incredibly frustrating player to watch. Reckon he could be an excellent kick as it is his sole strength but he fails to use it to his advantage. I would think his run and disposal would set up to be that running wingman but he was unable to nail a spot on the wing

Think we've all seen his lack on attack at contests. Think his tackle number speaks volumes of his contest work

Will be interesting to see if he gets another contract

[Knighter]

I'd give him less than zero if it was a score.  Nothing worse than a soft, outside flanker. 

Fartley and co should have traded him last year when he had some currency.

He’s worse than this summary

Never disliked a player more ..

What does he do well apart from run fast in bursts ???

His haircut matches his football .. ugly and somewhat feminine

[MintOnLamb]

Well we drafted him and played him.
He did the best he could.

He always seems positive

Good on him

[Damo]

Yep
Probably a champion fella
Not sure being nice gets bonus points ?

This isn’t the under 8’s participation award

Nice Dustin Hoffman moment from the Fockers

“Wall of Gaylord”

[Diocletian]

If we get anything better than a 4th round pick for him then I'll rate his season 10/10 just for that.

[mat073]

He may be the biggest whipping boy on our list .

[Andyy]

I gave him a 1 because he was marginally better than the 0 I gave MRJ.

If this is the future we are F'd for a decade.

I would trade or delist him.

100% not the under 8’s

If under 8’s he would have got game time no matter his ability, yet RFC selected him……?

Not after Round 12 they didn't .. selected as a sub a few times, but they even gave up on that the last handful of games

Was given a chance early in the year to establish himself in the side, wasn't good enough ..

End of story really

[Damo]

Side note
Two utter clowns (I’d prefer to use far more appropriate words, but PC Australia tells me that’s naughty) gave him 10

LMAO

Whoever did that should stick to Netball

Clueless , and that’s being polite

For the record I didn’t vote

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Reckon someone is trying to get a reaction with that rating….

[Diocletian]

Well there's at least one poster here who thinks our list consists of 42 guns and Noah Cumberland.....
