Lehi Hopoate

[LeonardCohen]

Agree, when the times right Hoppa snr will want to get us into a bidding war for Lehi. Just as long as we're sensible about it, but he sure looks like the finished product right now.

He looks a bit thin to me eyes. I'm thinking a good pre-season in the gym away from being ready for the week to week grind of the NRL. I can see him getting a debut or something late in the season but I don't see him being up to the physicality of week to week NRL yet. Not that I am an expert.

He has a lot of skills for a young player & is already a stand-out.
His physique will grow & that will assist him, but I'm curious as to if he will be taking a year off footy at some point?

Make that two years.

Yep Seibold said that the focus for him was his body to catch up to his potential… they are not planning on rushing his progression.

Given that we took him to Vegas, I'm guessing the club has a pretty high opinion of him. He has looked very good for Blacktown.

Just like all before him....

Is that on a Mission or in Jail?

His brothers have done both.

Good to see him performing but no rush.

He'll get a taste this year I'd say.

I was referring to mission.

He looks a talent. Hoppa isn't everyone's cup of tea, I get that but he did a thing or two on a footy field back in the day. And not just with his digits.
