Tristan Hope #293

I think re TDS vs hope what Jolls was saying. (I think it was Jolls).

You don't spend crazy on your hooker, unless you have the pack + Halves to match.

Hope means we get to buy a better halfback or a better pack.

💯 value for money spent.
I was a big fan of TDS and I think he will do very well at the Eels.
My personal opinion is we probably should have prioritised TDS over Api from 2027 onwards, however when I saw his contract value was somewhere around 600k per season from that time, I immediately thought he has not quite earned that type of money just yet, therefore we were probably right to let him go and replace him with a bargain basement player in Tristan Hope who is nearly as good, probably better in some areas such as front on defending.

$600k for a back up hooker that plays maybe 10-15 minutes a game is crazy stuff makes sense why we made that decision

You definitely are a crazycat.. I wouldn't be taking any halfback over Latu right now... He is our future

Hopefully that future is free of injuries otherwise it is not a great future.

Ill back that.

The 3 fainu's are awesome and I am happy to keep all 3 at the club.
Unsure if Latu is a true halfback, 5/8 or even lock. But 100% want to keep him in our side.

all the stuff i see of hope talking he seems like such a genuine down to earth person, seems like a great player to have around the club.

Anyone still think Hope is the backup after his shocker v Gold Coast?
4th string hooker is his spot, 3rd at a stretch…

We need to fast track Haywood for next year, Hope is a journey man at best

His service is too slow.
