But a simple, yet brilliant, play late in the first half of Sunday's Caldwell Cup decider showed the sheer skill and awareness the Dubbo Kangaroos' stalwart possesses.

After packing down in a scrum on the Central West 30m line, McHugh floated out on to the right wing and up the field when he was one of the very few who could tell what was going to happen next at Tamworth's Scully Park.

The Blue Bulls will have their chance for senior men's top tier redemption against Illawarra, who they lost to in last year's final, after taking down the Mid North Coast Axemen on the back of a huge showing from Orange Emus' Lachie Harris at Tamworth's Scully Park.

The women on the other hand will take on Central Coast after knocking off hosts Central North (10-nil) and then reigning champions Illawarra (22-nil).

The Dubbo Kangaroos winger has never played better than he has this season and as a result, he's set to play a key role in Central West's bid for the Caldwell Cup at Tamworth.

Beach has regularly been referred to as the Roos' most consistent player this season by teammates and coaches alike, but the string of notable performances and a first senior representative call-up is no coincidence.

The teams had somewhat underachieved early in the season, largely due to the inability to field the same side each week.

Both sides were again missing some troops on Saturday but the Roos got things to click during a 27-20 victory, just their second win of the season.
