Bulldogs Player of the Year Will Hopoate extends his time at Belmore
Off the back of an outstanding season, Will Hopoate has pledged his future to the Bulldogs by signing a contract extension keeping him at Belmore until the end of the 2021 season.

Hopoate was outstanding in all facets of his game in 2019.

He played in 24 matches and ran for a superb 154.6 metres per game, in addition to a tackle efficiency rate of 84.2%.

He played in both the full-back and centre positions and his class and consistency led to him being named the Bulldogs Player of the Year.

In addition, he was named at centre in the RLPA Players' 13 Dream Team at their end of season Awards Night.

Head Coach Dean Pay was delighted that Hopoate had extended his time at Belmore :

"Will has just come off an outstanding season and it is great news for the club that he has committed to us until the end of 2021.

He is the heart and soul of everything that we are about and his consistency and toughness are there every week.

He was able to switch from full-back to centre and continue to produce great performances and it was a just reward for him to be named Player of the Year.

We look forward to Will being a big part of our future."

Yeah we seem to be doing quite small extensions. Assuming they have some plans for recruitment over the next year or so

Don't mind this for two reasons. 1. Better than a new 4 year contract. 2. Need to have more players locked in for 2021 so that a clearer picture develops concerning available funds for a big signing or two.

Hoppa has been getting better each year with us and his running metres, line breaks and tackle busts numbers last season were insane. Plus he has some of the quickest hands out of any centre in the comp.

I'm glad he's locked in for another year and I'm glad it wasn't any longer so it keeps cap flexibility for 2022 and keeps Hoppa hungry to prove himself.

Deserved this short extension on current form but in saying that could also be his last with us
I have a feeling the team will look fairly different in two years time.
He won’t be the only player under the microscope
Just my personal opinion
