Id rather spend money on or develop a winger with blistering pace who can make the most of half oppurtunities.
Whats wrong with Jared McInally? Never really had a chance with the no changes policy.

Trying to read through all the facts and junk it seems like the club is targeting a big name and placing everything else on hold.


no, Hoppa is not it

No way do we want hoppa. Thompsons the man. He is going to be a really good winger. They need to flick perret and upgrade thompsons contract so we don't loose him.

Imo, i think our team next year will be as is without the obvious (tank & hodko). No new signings.

i think there is false hope that Hayne will fail and they will "try" and pounce if this does happen, but this is just my opinion

As bad as hopate has been this year he has still performed better than lafai in a terrible team , lafai has been nothing short of a disgrace this year , looks overweight and disinterested, should of had a spell in nsw cup a long time.ago

Actually scratch that .. I do not want BJ Leilua.

I completely forgot about that god aweful hairdo he had at the start of the season.

Doesn't fall in line with the clubs "2016 No Shit Haircut" policy.

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.
Should also give Perrett that guide as well considering he never stays on the wing

No to hoppa.

Would prefer Daniel Vidot on the wing
Hopoate wouldn't be bad at all if he can be got for next to nothing, which seems possible if they go ahead with suing the Eels

(really Eels? a contract isn't valid because after you negotiated it, and signed it, you realised it would put you over the cap so you didn't register it with the NRL? good luck fighting that one, you're kinda meant to check these things before signing the contract)

No No No No No ...

Here's a list of people cheaper, and currently better than Hoppa, and who are off contract this year:

Cheyse Blair - Winger / Centre
Hymel Hunt - Centre
Richard Kennar - Centre
Joey "BJ" Leilua - Centre / Second Row (bit of a derp, but he goes well and IS ONLY 23!)
Ken Maumalo - Centre (this bloke IS something special)
Matt Duffie - Wing
Ngani Laumape - Wing / Centre
Reece Robinson - Wing / Centre / Fullback
Daniel Vidot - Wing / Centre / Fullback / Second Row / Prop

Heck I'd even take Keith Lulia, Brad Tighe or Dane Nielsen over Hoppa.

===============
===============

As for Lafai to Manly rumours, why would they?

1. Brett Stewart (not going anywhere)
2. Blair / Hiku / Taufua / Tommy Turbo / Gutho
3. Lyon / Gutho / Taufua / Blair
4. Matai / Gutho / Tuafua / Blair
5. Blair / Hiku / Taufua / Tommy Turbo / Gutho

They have an oversupply of backs already.
If he can stay injury free Matt Duffie is super quick, big & powerful.

If it where true, and it did happen, wouldn't Hopoate be on the wing? More an issue for Perrett than Lafai.
