[QUOTE="Pieter Steph du Teague, post: 978228, member: 72520"] They're two completely different situations IMO. Goode didn't have the athleticism to be an international 15 and no amount of time in the gym or on a track was ever going to change that; he simply wasn't built for it. Hughes' short comings came in the fact that he was punching well below his weight, which I think came from a combination of a lack of confidence and probably slacking off in the gym, as well as an inability at the breakdown which came from a lack of understanding and probably some laziness. All of these things can be amended by a new coach and a new environment, which he's found at Bristol. [/QUOTE]
