Hapoate won't be at parra near season by the looks of it.

Massive no from me if the sharks are interested. One of the most overrated players in the league atm IMO.

Hopa for the right price would add some much needed strike power to our back line.

Fox sports article today saying we have said no to mason, but are looking to resign toops. Hopefully arona will get a new contract too.

Joseph Paulo? Add to the old man collection though he's only 27. With injury prone Lewis and Toupou we are a little light in the 2nd row.

Yeah it's beyond me how he's playing origin regularly.

He was pretty damn good before he left so I understand that.

But **** man 2 years out of the game knocking on doors clearly makes you turn to ****

going to parramatta killed him. put hoppa in any decent set up and he would be killing it.

Maybe.

But i personally dont really want him. I wont blow up if he comes but im not fussed on him and i think it would be excess when we already cant fit barba in the side if Jack plays 1

Reminds me a bit of beale. He'd be a capable player but never set the world on fire.

Hoppa would make a good Wing target next to Beale on the right. I would rather gain him and loose barba

1. Holmes
2. Feki
3. Bird
4. Beale
5. Hoppa
6. Maloney
7. Townsend
8. Fifita
9. Ennis
10.Gallen
11.Lewis
12.Topou
13.Graham

14. Heighno
15. Taga
16. Bukuya
17. D. Fifita/Prior/ Nubrown (depending on the type of bench you want.

That would be a **** hot team

Mate we have a **** hot side that's even better with barba and Val on the field and bird somewhere in there all for 80 mins.

That is way better than adding hoppa and losing Barba

I don't know why you'd **** around trying to get an under-performer like Hoppa in to replace Barba. Barba is already on the books and hasn't really done anything wrong except for cop a few injuries and get limited game time.

If you move Barba on it'll probably cost the salary cap in some way. This is how clubs like the Tigers and Eels have got themselves in trouble. They keep trying to move on perfectly good players at great cost to the salary cap rather than trying to get the best out of them.

Hoppa really dogged it this year. He was piss-weak. His first year back he was mixed but that was to be expected I guess, but this season there was no excuses. He got the chance at fullback, he was completely dog **** and lazy there, was moved to centres again but was dog **** and lazy there, and was defending on the wing because he can't tackle all of a sudden.

His heart's not in it any more, definite no thanks imho.

If we could fit in Hoppa then we absolutely should.

He could a be a top 5 centre and would offer much more than Leutele who is still only a borderline first grader.

Yeah I'm not keen on Hoppa either. Would have to be dirt cheap to even consider imo. Has done nothing since coming back to the game.

Hoppa still has the class he just doesn't seem to have the drive. He has produced some magical passes/steps etc since returning but doesn't seem to care all that much anymore. He is regularly dominated when running the ball and as mentioned earlier is now defending on the wing.
