Welcome Hugo Ralphsmith
- Thread starter Berwick boy
- Start date
Will probably get another year so Yze can check him out.
But if other clubs come sniffing around and offer more, he should take it.
More athlete than footballer, an inability to hit targets, and not capable of applying the necessary pressure in contests.

Not sure if anyone else has said this but while I have the same misgivings about him as most on here, he is one player we have with some pace and seeing Oleg continue a gradual improvement, makes me think we should keep him for another year if the offers are not great.
Would be interesting to see how Yze uses him, and also whether Yze's interest in kicking coaching can have an impact.

I think his best position is wing, his disposal is not good enough coming off half back. Does he ever really play as a wingman?
The thing with Markov was he was always a nice kick, Hugo, not so much.
I can't agree with that.
Markov used to spray them at Tigerland, and to a lesser extent also at the Suns.
That was always the knock.
He was an elite runner, and a tough bugger for his frame, with tons of go in him.
I have been surprised by his improved kicking at the Pies.
Credit to whoever's been working with him on that.
I'd have Cumberland, Bauer, Lynch, Martin, Kozi, Clarke, Moju, Bolton, Coulthard, Baker, Campbell, Ryan,,Gibcus, and Mansell all in the forward line ahead of Hugo.

None of them can run like hugo. Not saying he'll make it but one thing we need more of is players that can run at neck speed into our open fwd line on a quick counter attack. Something Collingwood did all year with the likes of mcreary and hill and made them hard to defend.I'd have Cumberland, Bauer, Lynch, Martin, Kozi, Clarke, Moju, Bolton, Coulthard, Baker, Campbell, Ryan,,Gibcus, and Mansell all in the forward line ahead of Hugo.
I here what ya saying H!!
IMO he has not improved at all really in what 4 years as a mid ...............
Hugo is too soft and is a panic merchant and a turnover merch not for mine H ......................... next.
Got plenty of others who can fill that role,.
In a team lacking genuine pace, I think Yze will see if he can find a spot for Hugo, reckon he gets another year, could be on the rookie list though.
I'm pretty surprised at the reports we are re-signing him. I'd guess at minimum chips & could still be traded yet.
