Semi v Hoppa

Posted by slip on May 30, 2015 at 3:35pm

Zero tackle has Semi at 250k a year. Hoppa aka "Golden child" is 800k a season. Would you agree Semi is more valuable at a lower price with his try scoring ability and being used as a forward late in the game, than the other guy who is on a massive packet!! I'm only comparing the two, because of their different price tags, but one delivers more than the other and at a cheaper price. In this case, wouldn't you raise the price on Semi, punt Hoppa using the money on an up and coming young quality player. Who is signing players at Parra? But I guess you would only raise the price on Semi if other clubs became interested.

250k is fair for Semi who is in his 2nd year. Isn't Semi's a three-year deal. The big money comes after that. Hoppa's whole deal was complicated but he won't be getting anywhere near 800k if he re-signs.

  I think Semi is 250k a season for 3 years. Amazing how many tries are being scored in the corner, because Semi is a gun player. Not many tries up the middle. What is Hoppa doing at such a higher price?

Admittedly, Semi and Hoppa contribute very different things. Hoppa has developed into an old-style defensive centre with good ability to set up his winger. Semi is a reservoir of still-untapped attacking talent. I hope they upgrade Semi.

Cut Hoppa's pay and give it to Semi. Problem solved.

Not saying he's worth huge dollars but hoppa is super reliable very calm under pressure works hard he is a good centre just wish he was faster.

Semi is a winger who is doing what a winger should

Semi did a good job last night best game since he's come back. I reckon capt mogan on mark tele seems to blow things out of proportion.

Hoppa is getting better and better. I suspect the same thing will happen with Watmough.

Might as well compare Semi to Sandow.

Semi is becoming a great finisher and his next contract will be higher.

Hoppa is a centre who can set up his winger and has good defense. He's an Origin player as well.

I couldn't see Semi getting that pass away for Morgan to score and it's not the first time.

"Sorry Poppa but you knock players a fair bit in the past and have played more FG than you have if using that argument but i hate that arguement.
I believe you have watched a movie and said it was rubbish, but you have never made a movie before so…"
