NRL Results: Jahrome Hughes’ Leadership Fuels Storm’s Finals Ambitions

Jahrome Hughes Drives Storm with Confidence

Halfback Jahrome Hughes is having a standout season in the NRL, credited largely to his ex-Kiwis coach Michael Maguire. Hughes believes that focusing on deeds, not words has significantly impacted his performance, leading him to potential Dally M Medal contention. Having completed a stellar Melbourne season, he is set to lead the Storm during their upcoming home final against Cronulla.

A New Perspective on Leadership

Entering this season, Hughes adopted a fresh mindset under the guidance of coach Craig Bellamy. He focused on leading by example, a shift from previous seasons where he was preoccupied with team dynamics. “The Kiwis gave me a lot of confidence in myself,” Hughes remarked, acknowledging the influence of Maguire.

  • Key Victory: Helped New Zealand achieve a 30-0 win over the Kangaroos last November.
  • Storm's Minor Premiership: Played a crucial role during Cameron Munster's injury absence.
  • Leadership Development: Inspired to improve as a leader and give back to younger players.

Facing the Sharks

As the Storm confronts Cronulla, Hughes mentions the unfair pressure faced by Sharks’ Nicho Hynes and emphasizes their team’s strong internal confidence despite criticisms. “It’s pretty ruthless, it’s pretty uncalled for,” Hughes commented on the scrutiny Hynes has received.
