If we had good centres id agreeNah Hoppa should go back to 1.
Meaney has gone ok and he is a good open field runner but that's about it.
Hopoate creates space for other players by breaking tackles & offloading or sweeping into an attacking play to get a quick pass away to get the centre or wing into some open space.
It was no coincidence that Holland & Smith looked half ok when Hopoate was at fullback and created some space for them by attracting 2 or 3 defenders but still manages to get the pass away.
Meaney can't do that and generally gets rag dolled in defence.
