Will Hopoate

[1978]

Would love to see him back at Manly next year.

Under-rated player these days and arguably among most consistent fullbacks in comp.

Reckon he has the size/passing game for six, but would prefer to see him at 1.

A DCE/Tom combo in halves would be incredibly dangerous, and Hopoate at the back gives us the safety under high ball / mistake-free fullback we need.

Even better if Bulldogs pay a chunk of his big salary for him to play at Manly 🙂

Love to get Hops back.

Manly lack players with a footy brain and Hops has it in heaps

Yer id have in back .

 

[maxta]

Not a speedster but quick between the ears, classy and very strong...would be happy to see him back - has creativity and in a team doing it tough like us, has done well against the best of teams...I like it.

Bulldogs are buying ( Segeyaro) not selling.

No chance

 

[Holmsey]

Only as a centre.

 

[Woodsie]

Not again .....

They may want to by Norman as Fiz will never be 100% again

How long before @Holmsey gets a new rating added to silvertails? HSTIAFB?

There is a part of me that doesn't forget his disloyalty when he went on his Mormon mission and snubbed our club for the whinging worms and now the filth dogs. Solid player and a manly junior , shame he left but we moved on from him!!

"@Holmsey Says Tom IS a FullBack"
I think we probably need to workshop it.

The bloke might be quick between the ears (in a football sense), but he’s as quick as Hodkinson over 100 metres.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

He’s a quality player but very expensive, way beyond our budget constraints.

 

[bob dylan]

There is no way they would let him go.

Just about win their player of the year id say, either him or Jackson.

 

[NYEagle]

If we would have had this conversation mid 2014 when Manly were top if the table this idea would have been laughable, now it’s a great idea.

Manly are so bad I would view Lewis Brown as an upgrade. Ok I hope you listened very carefully because that is something I will say only once.

[Stevo]

On not much money he'd be an alright signing

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Solid and experienced fullback but really only a short term fix.

.... only if we can do a father-and-son deal that gets Hoppa Snr back to coach our kids
