What a ridiculous comment, as much as I love Hoppa as a player, the " defensive toughness' you talk about was not really there at the end of this season when he came back from injury, and especially in that game against Penrith. And while you are on your high horse about "Denfensive Toughness" who better than Tolman & Lewis in defense, but the game is changing & finally the direction of our team is changing, I think TBas, is moving away from the defensive "dogs of war" to the offensive "Entertainers " so he will be looking at speed and fitness and unfortunately Hoppa is to slow. That is just MY OPINION.!!!!
