Completely justified. Good on the NRL for the strong stance

Personally think it's a bit over the top the punishment.
Yes he shouldn't be saying what he said, but the players are also encouraged to let fans know how they are feeling with social media etc.
Wasn't like he was harming anyone like other players have done in the past...

Hoppa has the passing game to be a good fullback.... It's just his lack of pace that worries me.

He's quick enough to play wing and centre at Origin level. Agree he won't be the quickest fullback but he is surely quick enough, and with his footwork and strength he can make merkins miss. Then there's his passing game. He will be a better fullback than what most clubs have, and will no longer be wasted out near the sideline.

Time to change the avatar Pou. I f**king hate it.

Hoppa seemed a lot quicker at Manly so hopefully it's just a conditioning/strengthening thing with him being away from the game for 2 years.

Hang on... you mean we didn't sign Robinson to replace the Chosen One but have signed Watmough to replace him instead? I thought that if you lost a player from one position you had to replace him with someone for the same position.

Watmough is going to be the slowest fullback in the comp.

Champion is replacing Tonga, Fa'aoso replaces Moimoi and we will have a top 25 spot left open for a winger which we won't fill until after pre-season.

Or Robinson has replaced Sio. But really, I think Hunt might be getting rissoled.

But if we have a top 25 spot still open isn't it Haynes therefore we have to buy a fullback?
I mean Hayne was the last to leave so the last spot filled has to be his.
