Jamie Buhrer Praises Jahrome Hughes
“On behalf of the RLPA I would like to congratulate Jahrome on being voted by NRL players as their Player of the Month for August,” said Jamie Buhrer, the RLPA’s General Manager of Player and Football Operations.
“Just like he has been all season, Jahrome was once again a huge influence on the Storm’s dominance of the NRL competition in August as they sealed the minor premiership. Jahrome has been one of the leading halfbacks of the game for a while now and this year he’s been consistently one of the best players in the entire competition.”
