Albert Hopoate Jnr

[double hoops]

Going on the Hopoate family enjoy Albert while he is here because it won't be a long time.

Who has Albert signed with?

Who has Albert signed with?

I didn't say he had signed with anyone,but going on family history they all leave as soon as they become stars. Now it doesn't matter 2 acl's at 18 he will never be the player he could have been. Maybe we are still using Kosef's surgeon.

Very very sad news Albert Hopoate has done his acl again today I belive it’s his same knee not a good sign when his so young

No good at all. Poor bugger. From a squad perspective, had he been formally included in the 30 yet?

Yes.

Devastating news, the poor guy

 

[nightster]

I don't wanna beat the guy up...he is whole hearted but I just don't think he up to it. He gets smashed and drops the ball a lot!

had a good game again last night

I did think that too that they would be off, but dollars is the way they set themselves up, understandable.

Not good at all. Two acls at such a young age will be very tough to recover from and the chance of a third is very high given his age

 

[Cioran]

He’s still young. There was a time that Gutho seemed to have had more operations than he’d played games but he’s bounced back OK. Keep your head up young fella. There’s time yet to become a star.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Wow that's horribly bad luck - what was it, his 2nd game back ?

Yes second game back unfortunately he did it in the first 12 minutes

 

[Woodsie]

**** ... that's it .... got nothing else .... just ****! ..

It might be the right time to take his two year Mormon sabbatical like his brother.

He can then come back with two years in getting his knees 100%

Good point tbh.

 

[Bearfax]

Very sad. The poor kid cant take a trick. I hope he doesn't lose his desire also though he wont be back until well into next season I suspect. All the more reason Manly needs to lock up Schuster and Ben T quickly.

 

[lsz]

It shows what incredibly tough game it is and how much luck plays a part for these young kids

Confirmed by club ACL and out for season

Gotta day it’s hard to see the kid coming back from this , hope he does but gee it’s going to be tough.

Clearly his confidence will be very tested.

Is it the same knee ?

Poor kid

 

[The Wheel]

Is it the same knee ?

Poor kid

Yep - apparently worked damn hard to get on field as well
