Hoppa jnr tood the worm coin and he is now half the player he was at age 19. I feel for him in that they are trying to move the goal posts on him , sorry Will but you reap what you sow!

No problems, Manly offer $401k. You heard it here first.

Hoppa's mojo has dried up,
it's as dry as a Mormon's picnic. 😉

The Eels or should I say Scott Seward signed him on for a further 2 yrs 2016/2017 at $800k per year. They cannot fit him in their salary cap and now need to move him on and will have to fork out half his salary to save them from paying full freight. The NRL will enforce that Parra needs to honour what was signed. Watch this space...

Yet another example of a player's career dying in the arse after deciding to leave Manly. I reckon Foz will be better off working for his dad at Walmart

When a winger gets offered $800k a season, the winger takes the offer. To suggest he should have done otherwise is to live in la la land. It was ludicrous money, and of course he had to take it.
The two years out, and the move to Parra have really hurt his game. So it's mutually beneficial to move. Outside Lyon, I'm sure he'd look a very, very different player. But he'd have a real job on his hands winning back a first grade spot at Manly.

Hoppa was a classic example of the good by association rule. Everyone who plays in a great side tends to get highly rated, often way above their capacity. Hoppa at parra has been exposed as fairly average. The opposite to this rule is the crap by association rule. Foran's gonna be struggling with this next year.

I still can't believe Foran didn't take the chance he had to back out on them. It was as if a large forefinger came out of the sky, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, Stupid! You're not seriously considering going through with this, are you? You've got a get out of jail free card. Use it!" And he didn't.

Unfortunately for Foreign, karma voices prevailed.
He was announced as Eels captain last night.
