  • He should take the tax free dollars. His back is farked and will only get worse.

    • How do you know that?

      • He said it himself. Liam martin hammered him in origin caused back issues. Nerve problems

        • He had surgury and fully recoverd from that back injury.
          The year he's just had off rehabing and building strength will have been reallly good for him.
          I thnk (hope) he's gonna have a big year in 2027.

  • I wouldn't re-sign him, i think he has played his best footy.

    This next season will be critical for hopgood in terms of his playing future, he needs a good season and hopefully for him and the eels he can produce at a high level again. 

  • Why any player would want to live in PNG is mind boggling! I know the money but seriously some of these players and staff will be lucky to last 6 months

    • They are getting the 1-2 year money then getting out of there. Getting 1-2 year salary is equivalent to 3-4 years I. Australia.

  • He was a relatively late bloomer with nrl, only really earning good money this contract. He also has been injury prone which may limit his longevity (he is 28). If I was him I'd definitely be taking the tax free dollar to try to set myself up after footy 

  • While im a big fan of his, probably the best outcome for everyone! Free's up a spot for a youngen to step up, we are looking pretty good up front. 

    Just need that aussie rep back line member (or two) and maybe the future is looking brighter.

    • Jackson Koina, if he develops like we think, will be the replacement.
