The dogs might be getting Will Hopoate

[Bulldogs09]

Hopper had the chance to come to the dogs before he sign with parra I think we shouldn't sign him what goes around comes around

We will be getting him half the price he was getting no doubt about it. He took the coin. Further more he also said that he would of joined the Dogs if he knew Des was going here back then...Also Parra weren't quite the rabble they have become back then.

Isn't he on 800k or something ridiculous like that?

[_G-Dog_]

Rorter$ re-signed Daniel Tupou for 300K per year, should have gone for him instead at that price

Was reported half believe parra would spend that on a winger they are that type of club. If he were to come here he would need a rocket up his arse , or hoppa snrs finger

That what I thought

 

[Mr Invisible]

Replacement for Loko & Stanley in NSW Cup???

Hoppa is shit this year, and the further away his dickhead of a dad is from our club, the better.

If he came over here expecting to play first grade, we'd have to buy him a Dummies Guide to Defending and Staying on the Wing.

Lol and needs a serious haircut in the pay department

So just to be clear, you don't want him?

So it is rumoured. That said it's obvious no one pays what Parra claim they will, including Parra. It's the big fall out, his pay hasn't be honored completely.

It's also no doubt painfully obvious to Hoppa he has been far from his best. He will know he needs to take a 1-2 year deal for a big pay reduction (with Parra paying a portion of his missing money, either via settlement prior to or over the course of his new contract to make up the balance).

Most likely believes he can refind his previous form under his previous coach too which will obviously see a big pay increase in time if he can and believes in himself. I think people forget how bloody good he was. It's not like he is past it, he is 23! I would take the punt at half his contract. Plus massive LOL@Parra if we can help him refind his form.

Don't forget paras salary cap issues partially relate to some players being paid outside the cap not to mention not allowing the NRLs auditors in to review the books. Highly likely he's on that amount if allegations are true

Hoppa is a finisher. He's not the player we expected in origin where you need big bodies. I think at the right price he'd be a good buy and would perform better for us than he is behind a struggling eels roster

 

[Interestingg]

If we pay more than $150k for his services (which include getting driven back on every tackle, no speed, no agility, no strength, a knack for missing critical tackles and making poor defensive reads) then someone at our club has rocks in their head.

 

[Chicharito]

After his showing in SOO I'm not so keen.

 

[KimboSlice]

confused that some saying, "NO", are the same as the ones saying "NO" to Perrett.....

Hopoate in form is a gun and NSW rep... would be crazy to pass that up...

 

[Mike_B]

Every player I can remember who left Parra and came to us got better. So I say yes but wouldn't pay over 300k a season. Would replace Perrett.

 

[KLil]

He would come for around 250-300..

 

[doggieaaron]

He was very good at manly ,at the right price and under des i say hell get back to his best and he knows that

 

[BulldogFit]

Hopoate was signed by Parra on 750k per year . He is currently off contract . A new contract was offered and signed by Hopoate under the Scott Seward management but this contract was not registered by nrl. Also his third party payments have fallen thru. Hopoate is a free agent and parra don't have to pay or add any payments to his next deal. If dogs sign him it is on what they offer . Hopoate can sue parra but it would b a waste of time and $$

 

[Reesy]

He'd be very useful at the right price.

He would likely play to his potential under the culture at Canterbury.

I'm hearing Lafai may be released to Manly (who want to switch Lyon to 5/8 to replace Foran).

 

[rexest]

Just over average atm, Still young could be good for us.
