Albert hopoate cleared by specialist

Yeah he's been much better in the middle. Actually, today in his media interview he said he has been preferring getting in there at hooker than playing at 6
If I was him I would be locking my sights on that relieving hooker role too... and to be fair, he is a strong defender and, when he gets it right, offers a great surprise kicking option out of dummy half...

to be honest, he is better than Levi at hooker. Levi is crap. If he could get his skills, fitness and concentration to play hooker, he would be a good hooker and backup if Gangsta Fainu ever plays footy again.
 
I don't get that reasoning. He's either passed fit or he's not. A player with a niggling injury might be spared in slippery conditions but not a young powerhouse who has passed every fitness test. (I could be wrong, just seems odd to me)


Some ones been pulling our legs...or they his
 
If young Hoppa plays he'll be nervous, make a few mistakes, whatever. Its getting him onto the field that's important because after the first few matches he'll find his rhythm. No way should we judge him too closely on his first few games

Hopefully he doesn't perform as badly as his father did when playing for NSW

Three tries or we buuuuuurrrrrrrnnnnn him (I would think it would take 6 - 8 games considering there has been no lower league etc)

So,patience for a kiddy but not the head coach? 😉

Yep agree Bear. I’m just not sure about his first game in the wet, off injury against a team we must beat if we are any chance of finals. Maybe a spot on the wing but I wouldn’t put him at FB for this one. Des won’t either.
