Have seen some Penrith fans wanting him, they must like it at bottom of the ladder

Thats what happens when you’re always loosing, you get desperate, and gloss over the flaws and spend overs buying a player based on the one good game they had when the team they were in gave you a flogging. Sound familiar?

Hope he lands there and not with us

I don’t think he’s beyond repair, yes he make bad decisions in defence. But that can be improved. We no with May that the cocks don’t always make great decisions!

For anyone watching Parramatta this year. I’d advise them to pay close attention to Hopgood.

From playing 80 mins at lock last year under Brad Arthar and looking like securing an origin jersey, he has now dropped to 40 mins with stints at dummy half and his form looks way off.

Maybe Ryles doesn’t rate him that highly.

Can’t see how…. I’d do a Galvin for Hopgood trade tomorrow.

He’s exactly what we need.

Why would you strengthen parramatta . No way. Let them wait for him till 2027 so they can have another year of disaster next season. I don’t get the calls to let him go early . Fxxx parra

Good point. I'd take that swap as well. Hopgood us a quality lock, plays straight when linking with his halves, has a high workrate and promotes the ball after contact which would be huge for us. Having him at lock would free up Latu and Luai

Terrell May wasn't square either but as said, refs almost never police this.

My opinion is actually to do away with GP, it causes more angst and trouble than it provides in entertainment. It's great for non-aligned fans and terrible for anyone with a stake in the outcome.

Imo I like the concept but we've been burned a few times, I like the idea of both teams getting a point after 80. Who ever wing golden point gets the second. I know it's usually a winner take all sport but if teams are level after 80 the effort should be rewarded with something.

We owed about 1,001 apologies from just the past 5 years alone.

Abdo has two phones on his desk one regular one for the clubs and one red one that lights up when it rings. That's the Tigers phone. We needed a direct line the amount of time we've had him on the hooter about mistakes over the past 5 years.

Hopefully Kelomatangi

Souths moved him into the 13 role and Bennett will not let him leave.

Not sure who we have secured yet , but hoping Richo comes out with some decent players , I’m confident as he knows what players have come so far have made a difference , pretty much Luai , May , Turuva , Bird , Skelton have all added to make us much better , I’m just hoping we grab another Centre , Backrower , Prop , of quality , reason is
If God forbid May goes down we lack big time
If Sam F goes down again we lack
Centre we need one now
Fingers crossed but when Richo said we have signed players external to the club it wasn’t a real , Well we have secured 3 players to the club and people will be surprised by them , watch this space , he can’t buy second graders unless they are guns from top clubs .
Young May will do as the centre

It would be nice but I cannot see the Eels swapping one of their best for Galvin. They required Utoikamanu to fulfill his contract and we should require the same of Galvin. I have confidence Richardson and Marshall can recruit the players we want.

My wish list is Mariner, Reynolds and KPP. 😁

I wouldn’t, maybe next season, halves are much more crucial than another dime a dozen forward.

I would be all in on him. Ryles is playing him all over the place. He is a lock and should just be playing that role. Would be a major uplift on our pack.

Is Ryles playing hopgood this way to get the swap done?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Would have a good rapport with his old Panthers mates, Romey, Api & Tito too.

Fun fact

The human race has , on average , 1 nutsack

I would have thought that average would be closer to 0.5 when you consider that half the human race are female.

Some females have them these days don't they 😉
