Cullen and Hopoate

[1978]

Both are in Reserve Grade final for Dolphins and a cut above that standard.

Cullen offered more than Croker and is tough as. Great depth for half/hooker/five eighth.

Young Hoppa offered more than Winterstein.

Worth getting them back?

Is Hoppa even cleared these days ?

Cullen is a terrier, but is average first grade standard, which we seemingly have in spades at the moment.
I do love his full on terrier type attitude though.

Croker offers more as a back up imo, with a coach that doesn't stifle any attacking game he may potentially possess.

Id be happy to never have a Hopoate at the club again. My opinion.

Hoopa looked good in the final last Sunday, plenty of clubs will be chasing him I reckon.

Cullen was a pretty ****ty NRL player. Hoppa never played NRL. Both are in the Qld cup and not NRL clubs for a reason.

While not disagreeing with these two, people can develop later. There have been quite a few late bloomers, Matt King being a prime example. If people just said, he’s in reserve grade for a reason they would’ve missed out on a rep quality winger/centre.

Be interesting to see how they both go against the N S W intrust premiers this Sunday [ was it the Panthers or Bulldogs who took it out ] Can 't see how at least Manly would show any renewed interest in either . May have occurred but haven "t myself noticed where Jamil Hopa has actually received a clearance to resume playing in the N R L , probably no reason why he should not have by now though .
