Yes I'm still on the Hoppa to 5/8 hype train lol.Pretty sure Marley and I ( I certainly did) the idea of Hoppa at 6 so whilst I definitely agree but it’s not going to happen
He's tough alright, after the game he decked the guy who set up the fireworks and burned down the guy's business also.He got dropped by a firework his not tough lol.
Don’t need him.lets go with Harper.All dribble
Had room for 2/3
Now need to offload to fit one.....
So why sign a rocks or diamonds player who has a bad attitude, gets suspended often and has questionable at best fitness? Especially if it's on 500k plus? There's no way he'd leave for less than that.People get so caught up on players and cap space when we really have no idea the amounts of either. All the numbers reported in media are guesses or bullshit figures fed from managers.
I'd take Leilua as he's a upgrade and it would be a wild ride if we get him he's the ultimate rocks or diamonds player.
He is a upgrade in a position we need upgrading in. Does he have faults yes but he can rip a game apart. You can have your Montoya’s who train hard, have a good attitude and are fit or you can have someone like BJ I know which one I’d have.So why sign a rocks or diamonds player who has a bad attitude, gets suspended often and has questionable at best fitness?

We've waited four years to clear the cap space of the Desaster and now that we finally do we want to tie up a fair chunk of it on inconsistent, average players who are loose cannons like Napa and Leilua?
Especially when he's 27, unprofessional and completely set in his ways and will only get worse, not better. He's overweight enough as it is, I'd hate to see what he looks like in the second or third year of his deal when he's approaching 30. Leilua makes Josh Papalii look like CHN in terms of being overweight.
Of course he's better talent wise than what we have. But so is pretty much every other centre. And there are a lot more factors that come into play than talent.He is a upgrade in a position we need upgrading in. Does he have faults yes but he can rip a game apart.

I don’t think he’s that inconsistent he is a genuine threat in attack and defensively he’s sound. I don’t think any opposition would be comfortable when he has the ball and that’s something we need. I’m actually surprised we are interested because he doesn’t seem the type of player that Pay goes for.Of course he's better talent wise than what we have. But so is pretty much every other centre.

Paying 500k or more to a meathead like BJ who is the one of the most ill disciplined and inconsistent players in the comp wouldn't be the answer to all of our problems at that position and just like Napa, the minute we potentially sign BJ, we'll be wondering when his contract runs out and shaking our heads about how much cap space he's taking up.
I'm flabbergasted so many people want us to sign him considering he's worn out his welcome at three other clubs and has always been a headache on and off the field. I must have been watching a different player to everyone else all of these years. Yes he can win you a game now and then, but he can lose you even more games with brain snaps and laziness.
He's a handful in attack but I can't stand him and think he's an average player overall considering his flaws. I feel if he came to a young team like ours he could become a distraction and a bad influence and we'd see the worst of him.I don’t think he’s that inconsistent he is a genuine threat in attack and defensively he’s sound.

Looking at what we have for next year centre wise is pretty grim and signing Leilua for a couple of years makes sense. If we don’t get him I wouldn’t be that upset but he would be a good addition if we do. Names like Scott and Manu get thrown around like they are options for us but I can’t really see them coming to the club.
I just think his positives out weight the negatives and it’s in a position we are desperately trying to strengthen. All this talk is probably for nothing anyway as it’s more then likely another rumour that will amount to nothing.He's a handful in attack but I can't stand him and think he's an average player overall considering his flaws.

Imagine if Reimis clicked with Leilua like he does with Rapana!Wouldn't mind seeing a back 5 of.
1. Dwz
2. Okunbor
3. Hoppa
4. Leilua
5. Smith
All big strong and powerful. We certainly wouldn't have any trouble coming out of our own end.
