Given his age I'd suggest his season is done. Who knows?
Hopgood went to 9 today. It will be interesting to see how the Eels handle this for the rest of the year

It's amazing how well we play when he is not on the pitch.
Regardless of how shit he's been, Eels need a back up for 2024 after Rein retired.
As for the remainder of this year, I hope Asi trains as a hooker for when Brown returns. Asi would make a great utility. I see Hopgood played hooker the last 10 mins today but I hope that's not BA's mid term bright idea because Hopgood makes the team so much better when he stays at lock.
Hopgoods best position and only position is lock
We can get one elsewhere plus have Matt Arthur too who will be 19.
I know a bloke, Parra enquired about him at the backend of last year.
He was changing managers and his old manager failed to tell him 6 clubs were enquiring .
He played for Ireland in the World Cup, played very well, he played all his lower grade footy at Souths before a year at the dogs Joshua Cook.
quality defender with terrific service, a few injuries have curtailed him but he's very handy.
The club just gave this dude another year on contract for 2024 (as a player).
We have made some excellent decisions lately with our squad, but this one is a bit of a head scratcher.
It was his option.
It was listed as a "mutual option" by the NRL website. Wouldn't both parties need to agree for the contract to be ratified?
I don't have any inside info. Just going off what BA said pre game.
Going by Hodgson own comments it was an option in boths favours with differing salaries I.e. Hodgson has a dud season he can take his option with a lower salary, If parra were desperate to keep him they could've used there option for a greater salary.
