There’s another three Hopoates after Lehi ? Seriously, how many kids does he have.?

I actually rate Lehi. Very athletic built more like Will and plays very similar. Hoping he doesn't put on too much size like the others and loses is pace and elusiveness.

Spent most of my life being tarnished by my family name. Hope you all give him a go & not judge him by the brand.

The next big thing is the Big Shu
He is still learning and still growing into his big Messiah Shoes

Seriously, there's 11 altogether, so there's more than 3 after Lehi. Let's hope Lehi and the others have Will's genes...

Didn’t he say he will be the best player in the NRL or something to that effect?

Damn.11. If there’s any jeans left, there going to be pretty ragged I’d guess.

I was involved with the Manly Cove juniors for a short while in the 90's; the Hopoate tribe always turned up for a Sunday muster (usually a bit late because of church).

All the boys lined up, impeccably dressed in white long sleeved shirts, collar done up, and matching brown slacks. Well behaved and hard to believe their heritage, ( who was a nice bloke anyway!)

Appears that more were born after those days.

I'm sure you probably remember the Kennedy brothers John and Morris? They were good manly juniors I played against as a kid. Morris ended up playing for fiji

We couldn't fall for another one, could we????

Great guys those two. Very talented footballers. I know them quite well

They were very talented. Very quick and evasive.

Hope Hopoate becomes a star, stays out of trouble and plays long term for Manly.

If you’re a betting man you would be wary betting on him staying and being indecent free, the family doesn’t have a great track record and John is a poor influence.
Another club offers him $10 more and he will be gone in a flash.

The other way to look at it. If it's about 10 dollar bucks. And our club fail. How far our mighty club have fallen. We can't afford $11.

My memory's getting a bit thin there. I do remember a few young girls in the line up - I think they could have played as well in early RLW teams?

This reminds me of being at a Manly vs Sharks night game at Shark Park when Will was playing for Manly (2010-2011). Beside me watching Will were his mother with several little kids and toddler in a stroller and I still remember being amazed how well behaved they all were through the whole game, and at night too. Yes, it was hard to believe considering their heritage.

Perhaps the mothers or women of the family are not the issue?

I'll have as.much loyalty to this new Hoppa kid, as the Hopoate clan have to Manly. If there's one extra dollar to be made, they'd dump the club faster than Mark Gasnier's phone on the way home in an uber after a big night out.
