   Big blow for one of the game’s top juniors - @SeaEagles prodigy Albert Hopoate has suffered a suspected ACL tear during last weekend’s SG Ball Round.

****t injury. But nowadays not what they once were. Can actually make a player coming back through adversity when naturally gifted. Let's them see the thing others do who aren't so blessed, and the mind-frame that makes them better players.

Best of luck to the young man he will be back.

Sad news for young Hoppa. He will be back and hopefully realise his enormous potential. One day he will be the best Hopoate to have played in the NRL.

The modern game's bum rush to get these guys as big as possible as fast as possible is concerning.

Their bodies just arent grown enough for what they're being put through at a young age.

The only positive from all of this is that he'll be off the radar now for clubs like the Rorters, Drizzle and Dogs, stockpiling their lower grades with young talent.
