I've never really rated this guy until now. He looks highly impressive from what i've seen this season. Anyone else willing to give an opinion on his guy? I was shocked that he's still only 22/23 aswell!

Huby, Sargeant & Sherwin have looked fantastic from what I've seen.

And our longest serving player

we had a discussion about huby on another thread bowt a week back.very solid and hardworking but the debate was weather he has the extra spark to make it to be a superstar.the vote was split but deffo has potential to be a very good super league player.

Because he made his debut in 2004 he seems to have been around for ever.

It was 2003 actually agaainst Leeds and he is 22 at the moment

Huby will be top class he is already above the average prop foward status for me, and i think he will get is first Cap for England at the end of the year.

have always thought a lot about hubes, i think this might be the season when he finally kicks on and shows his maturity has a prop forward. if he can get into the england side it will be great. good luck craig, show em what you are made of.

I remember seeing him knock Farrell on his ass and making a 60yrd run away at the goons very early in his career, showed promise from the off and developing into a great prop forward.
Reminds me of Lynch at the moment, just before the Bulls stole him

I stand corrected.

Does that mean when his contract is up he will be elligable for a testimonial?

Did he not come on and kick a goal in that game?

i have an image of him kicking his first points for cas against huddersfield i might be wrong

I vaguely remember standing in the Princess Street stand and him coming on from the bench to kick his first points towards the railway end.

That's probably miles away from the truth though.

Lets not forget props dont mature to there potential untill there late 20's, so we still have huby's better years to come.

A good rule in my opinion encourages players to stick with there hometown clubs and means we are more likely to keep the likes of shenton, westerman and huby etc when there contracts are up.

Huby is one of them players that was possibly overhyped at an early age basically because he broke into the side when only 18. He probably had more game time in the 1st team as a result of our relegation and has had more than his fair share of absence through injury.

Every year he's one of them players that I tend to think "if he has an injury free season we could start to see the best of him" and whilst I thought he was only average last year, he seems to have stepped it up quite a bit this season and is more than holding his own against most other superleague props.

I wouldn't go so far as to suggest international honours, but he could yet turn out to be one of the better props in SL over the next decade or so provided he's not too unlucky with injuries.
