As far as positional changes, all the hype this year have been centered around Moses Mbye. I had a few hours to kill today so I re-watched our 2 games and concentrated on Hoppa.I noted relevant stats and then compared them to the NRL official site. These were the results: Hoppa made 46 tackles, more then rest of our threequarters combined (41). He also made more hit-ups (25),running meters (241) and passing (43) then anyone in our backline. For tackle breaks only Brett Morris with 10 beat Hoppa on 5. Our threequarters had no try assists and Hoppa scored no tries. His ruck work in both defense and attack was not great but acceptable. His positional play in attack was good and deep but was sluggish and slow in the defensive line (especially when sliding right). I'm not trying to be the next Des just offering some basic stats to assist any feedback from the kennel. Looks to me Hoppa without being great is going good. I'm sure as season wears on his co-ordination in defense will improve.To me it looks like for 2019 we might only need to recruit for the left side of our threequarters.
