Really puzzled by the Hughes transfer speculation on this site.
Surely he needs to at least be playing well enough to make an All White squad, before any return on investment is to be considered?
That doesn’t really come into it.
If Surman, Old and Paulsen had been capped for the AWs before securing their offshore moves it was 1-3 caps at most
Hughes has a British passport but yipe 2 years left on his Nix contract. So the post above that the Nix hope that his value will be higher in 12 months, as he improves further makes some sense.
Getting a left field bonus $500k for Payne (if the rumoured fee is correct) means possibly less of an immediate need for transfer fee income
Not having to play as part of an extremely crazy high line, should at least help Hughes start the new season in a more stable fashion, and yeah his game could go to another level
