Hughes's numbers across 35 URC appearances paint the picture of a centre built on consistency rather than explosiveness, averaging nearly six carries and close to six tackles per match. His peak outputs — 14 carries and 15 tackles in a single game — show he can step up his work rate significantly when required. With over 200 tackles logged alongside 500-plus metres with ball in hand, he contributes meaningfully on both sides of the breakdown.
