He speaks about his mormon mission and how he will keep fit on his mission. Also speaks about what he's looking forward to at Parramatta and which players he will be excited to play with in the future. Interesting to note that he is wearing a Number 1 jersey. Is there plans to move Jarryd in the future? I guess only time will tell.

Dear Jesus,
Please tell Will that you've got some other dudes covering mission duties and you think it'd be awesome for him to keep playing footy so that you and god and the rest of the heaven crew can watch him tear up the opposition next year.
Kind Regards

If he comes to our club for next year he'll have to sign another contract and we'll have to pay him money, money that I don't think that we have right now
My major fear about the Hoppa signing is that we will lose Hayne. Souths signed Inglis and lossed their big star in Sandow. This looks the same.
Can he just hurry up and play for us, his religion will get more out of him by him playing for the next 2 years then being away on his mission.
Imagine the strike power of having him, Hayne, Tonga, Reni and Sandow in our line up for next season
But will he get more out of it by playing with us than spending two years on a mission? I think not, because we want all our players to be "healthy" yes? Health in modern terms is viewed in four different areas of life: Physical,Mental, Spiritual and Social.
Physical- Hoppa will be close to 100% fitness when he comes back to train with us. With the right dietary and exercise regimes he will be prepared for pre-season training.
Mental- I don't know what Hoppa thinks and nor will I attempt to
Spiritual- This is the main one of this arguement. If Hoppa doesn't feel he has spiritually completed his mission he may have regrets about not doing his deed for God and this could lead to indecisiveness on the field and poor play.
So I say, let him serve his two years on his mission and let him come back hungry to play for us.
I'm suspecting that after he has spent his time on his mission he will be hungrier than ever to put on the Blue and Gold. I believe there was two main reasons Hoppa signed with us: The opportunity to play with Hayne and the opportunity to play under Kearney let's just hope both stay with us for a while and along with Hoppa and Sandow these 5 can lead us into a new generation of brilliance at Parramatta
