Hypothetical

[Slide]

What if Parra had never signed Will Hopoate & he returned to us this year? How would our roster have looked differently for 2014? Who would have had to go? We'd probably not have Hiku, but between Snake, Matai & Killer where would the space be for Hopoate? How long would he be happy playing wing having played Origin?

Do you prefer the backs we have now compared to the way it would be with Hoppa back? Fwiw I like our backs just the way we are barring injury concerns (& age although I think there is solid planning for covering retiring players). If Hoppa was back I think one of the three senior players I mentioned would have had to go and I'm happy that's been avoided.

Wolfy would be gone and hoppa would take that place. Hiku would be most likely the fill in for Brett or at another club

If Will had stayed he'd be on half the money and by now the bull dogs would be offering him $750,000 to sign with them and get a mid-year transfer, probably say something like he's at home with Des and he's homesick.
