The departure of Hoppa & Robbo is HUGE.
Hoppa gained more yards than anyone in the NRL & his class like the flick pass to Gift in the gf will be a massive loss.
Robbo was possably the most underrated finisher to play the game & his value was not just finding the line but doing the 1% plays all day that others did not. For positional play he was 10/10 & the players loved having him out there.
Wolf is a sensation at his best but is injured 70% of the time - hopefully this changes in 2012.
Oldfield has unlimited potential but is still green in many ways - will be a star imo & hopefully 2012.
Farrar is a reasonable utility but for those who say he has improved whilst overseas, its more to do with a step down in quality in that comp. Whare seems to have something but just seems to be treading water & not improving to the next level which is dissappointing after his sensational debut vs Cowgirls 2 years ago.
As far as the trial - stick it in the trashcan. If the pre season guide was something to go by Cronulla, Penrith, Penrith & raiders would have dominated recent seasons yet they have only battled for the spoon.
Manly again in 2012 but our missing 2011 GF wingers will be our biggest hurdle imo.
