Hoppa's incident was touch and go mate . I think he was hard done by the ref's

Hoppa to Matt Prior: Hold my beer
Not so sure Bozo - Hoppa was a walking time bomb at times...had the raw power, but lacked Matai's timing and technique and every time he came hunting in was worried about it going wrong...

Really?
He may not have had such a massive suspension if he didn't have such a long judiciary record. But that's a deserved send off.
Was that hit on Keith Galloway - or was that Vs Tigers ??
You guys may have to possibly check your "tongue in cheek" or "sarcasm" detectors. lol

Galloway was playing for the Sharks then. I was at the match and was shocked. Hoppa shot out of the line with the intent of knocking out Galloway, and succeeded. Automatic send-off. My recollection is that Manly led 14-0 at that stage and only just hung on for a win.
Hoppa would have been a dynamic player if he had had half a brain.
Where is your compassion for our Manly players feathered friend ?
You are on the ball GE
It was 24-0. I was on the hill and remember him sprinting along the defensive line past at least 3 players before leaving the line already at full pace. The hill went up as one, cheering Hoppa for the biggest hit I've ever seen. It was only upon replay, while Keith lay motionless, that we realised it had gone horribly wrong. I still maintain that it was reckless, not intentional.

I was there too, and from the angle I saw it I thought it was a legitimate hard tackle (on the hill south of the halfway). Tezza was in line with us and he was high fiving hoppa. I thought we would get the scrum feed.
However after I saw the other angle on the big screen..
Michael Monaghan won the game from there with amazing tough play and leadership.

I also cannot tell if this is tongue in cheek...
But yes that incident deserved a send off, not really sure if it warranted a 17-week suspension though.

Mark Geyer on Paul Hauff was pretty good also.
