He might now be giving consideration to playing on Sunday as it will hurt his future prospects in free agency if he continues with it. I also think he's very overated and is not worth the hassle.
While I respect Will Hopoate decision , if I were a club considering signing him I would look elsewhere.
"CANTERBURY fullback Will Hopoate will meet with his manager to decide if he’ll continue his Sunday sabbatical this season.
Hopoate’s manager Tyran Smith told The Sunday Telegraph he plans to have a discussion with the star Bulldog in the coming weeks.
The former Origin representative sat out four Sunday games last season due to his religious beliefs.
According to Smith, though, Hopoate hasn’t said if he’ll maintain his faith before football stance in 2017. The star outside back is also off-contract this season and may need to play as many games as possible to maximise his next contract.
“I haven’t spoken to (Will) about it (Sunday games) yet and it just depends on a whole heap of things,” Smith said. “He is still contracted for this year, so we’ll get together and reassess and I’ll get his views on what he wants to do then.
“I’m sure there are more Mormons playing in the NRL and they would like to keep the seventh-day Sabbath. But whether Will can or not, we’ll see.
“You also have to create a living for yourself, so I’ve just got to get his thoughts on it. I’ll do what benefits him. But he (Will) appreciated the backing of the Bulldogs last season and he repaid them with his form when he came back.”
