If you consider that Hughes and Tuiloma (who is capped) play alongside each other for the Nix it allows a comparison of their relative strengths and weaknesses. At his youngish age Hughes already looks a leadership material and this season has shown that he has learned from his lapses in previous seasons including unfortunate oggies. Tuiloma has probably a physical advantage over Hughes and is not necessarily slower than Hughes. Seems to be still finding his feet in the Nix team despite already scoring some well taken goals.
