He always looks surprised when he does something good. He doesn't believe he belongs and he probably doesn't.

Works hard but at the moment gets rid of the pill quickly to teammates under more pressure than him.
we might as well keep playing him as he shows signs of improvement and with more experience might turn into a useful player.

Hugo better once again and his short kicking game is improving. He was clean at ground level and will get even more creative by hand the more games he plays. Starting to look like he feels he belongs.

Don't understand the attention his hair gets. Keep it.

Our young player stocks are so poor we look for any reason to celebrate what was an average game.

If that's his best career best to this point, then it's a low bar we're setting.

Works and tries hard, but that's about it.

Isn't it better that it was his best game than if it were his worst game? Or no better than his other games? We're not setting a bar, we're acknowledging he raised a ceiling.

Probably he’s best game of half back this year, which imho is a worry , needs space to be clean , Im not sure his good enough, in saying that he’s improving

Had more score involvements for GWS than he did for the Tigers.

Turnover merchant no composure.

If I wished to purchase some turnovers, I would seek out Hugo. He has an excellent selection, and they’re cheap.

Seriously though, I want the guy to succeed. But I don’t trust him.

Was in my best 5 players. I liked that he took a few contested marks. Haven’t seen much of that yet.
