Jaques is the man yep
Dont agree with u about Rogers as backup though
Give Hughes a small taste of the bigtime.
If he fails no big deal he has a taste of it an should be even hungrier for success at state level.
He will be told its only temporary until jaques/kat return from injury.
So not much pressure on him to perform.
Also gives him experience so that if hes needed in 2 years time permanantly hes coming in with abit of experience.
I believe because our squad is still very old when someone is injured we need to be replacing them with youngish players 20-27 to give them experience an a slight taste of the bigtime to keep them interested an hungry at state level.
1 young player mixed in with all the experienced players will be a great learning experience.
Also means when all our experienced players retire those young guys have experience an can hopefully take over alot easier.
Unless its a huge high pressure important series then it might be asking abit much thats the only time we should look to the older experienced players like rogers,hodge etc
