First of all let me start by thanking you for welcoming me to this forum.I agree that plenty have transitioned and I also agree that Morris could probably make a decent 2nd row.But we are talking about Hoppa not players like Gene Miles,Noel Cleal,our own Chris Mortimer or Lewis.The players you and I mentioned all had/have upper body strength and their careers evolved around power plays,strong fends and brutal defense.In my opinion Hoppa is nothing like that,he is more effective off sweeping plays linking on the outside (one or two out) or running the ball forward from deep angles.In order to play 2nd row he needs to bulk up by at least 10-15kgs,this would reduce his speed.With a weight fluctuating between 90-95kgs he would become a target for the modern game 2nd rowers who mostly are 105kgs+.
