It was based on that and your little crack about his religion at the end....That's personal in my books. I couldn't care less if he worships watermelons as long as he plays OK which he did. It's his first run at centre in 2 years and you came up with, in my opinion, two wrong calls to paint a picture he was only average. Sure, he didn't give a 10/10 performance. How could he in a beaten side, but he was still at least a 7. Made plenty of tackles and runs. Without a lot of clean ball he couldn't offload to MM but I'm sure when those inside him work it out it will happen as well. Hoppa will by seasons end show he is a top class centre.
It isn't personal at all I was one who was supporting his decision to not play Sunday's cause his faith meant so much to him as he was telling the media and anyone who would listen.
But I lost respect for him when contract year came round then he decided to have a change of $$$ I mean heart that was the straw in the sand for me plus he is a slightly above average player at best doesn't matter what position you play him in centre three quarter wing fullback.
Name me one fullback last year that almost went the entire 26rounds scoreless lucky for him he crossed the line against the tits in the second last game of the season, scoring try's is as important as saving them vice versa.
Again I don't hate him nor do I think his a useless player but his money and position could be better well used
I just lost respect for him and I've given you my reasons.
