We know Hoppa fluffed a couple of high balls against South's, mind you both were brilliant kicks. In all other games this year he has been very solid and against the Warriors and Johnsons spiralling bombs he was brilliant. He will be tested again today no doubt. I was very impressed how after those mistakes his confidence remained high and he attacked every kick for the remainder of the game.
Now to teddy bear Tedesco... That's who should be peppered today. His pace on kick returns eats up good metres, so eliminate that. With his light frame and small height... bombs away with our chase bearing down on him and the likes or Folau, Ma'u and Tepai ready to break his ribs on impact. In past games his confidence drops after high ball errors and if effects the rest of his game.
Just a thought. I'm sure BA has a game plan for him.
Go the Eels!
