Will miss Hopkins passion and commitment to our team while he was here...

As for the hoppa minister thing....could you imagine John Hopoate as a minister in parliament!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Hurriflatch]

I think they may mean the Church version of a minister

 

[bartman]

And Manly Hoppa is reputedly quite a religious man too...

 

[Jake the snake]

John Hoppa religous :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[The Colonel]

Quite religious actually.

"I'm delighted to be a team leader," Hopoate said. "Hopefully I can help the boys steer clear of the mistakes I made. It's important players like me and 'Walks' help them through the tough times."

Hopoate is also asking players to spend more time in religion.

LDS Rugby Player Reforms, Gains Teammates' Respect
Just one year ago, LDS professional rugby player John Hopoate had a reputation for trash-talking and nightclubbing. But now he has reformed, rejoined the LDS Church and gained the respect of his teammates. And the team may be seeing a side benefit of his lifestyle change; the team is second in the standings, winning six games and tieing two.

Whether or not its helping him is another thing?

John Hoppa religous :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

uummm! yes.

I work with an immidiate member of the Hoppa family and I found out what Albet was doing last week! talk about dedication. Apparently he knocked back a big from both the Roosters and the Raiders.

I can also reveal something else about John that would freak everyone out!!!...but I won't ;-) ;-)

 

[Misty Bee]

What's that? He's going to be Parra's new halfback?

actually your closer than what you thnik!! ;-)

however he has accepted an offer to stay at Moanly.

 

[True EEL]

don't even tell me we were chasing Hoppa????

that will do me if we were eelevation

and looks like poor Lee is being made a scapegoat and has been told there is no room for him at the club....oh well there goes a player that wanted to play for the club and gave his all....all the time....good luck mate

nup!! we didn't make him an offer.

infact I've just been told that he may even go to Wigan as Moanly haven't offered him a big deal.

 

[Eelementary]

That's crap.

Complete and utter crap.

But good luck Lee - you're a champ.

 

[parra-all-the-way]

well with morrison and riddell signing it was always going to make it hard for lee, but good luck to him....

 

[Stagger eel]

not to mention Chad Robinson and the emergence of Jack Afa

 

[True EEL]

what did you mean then elevation??? about closer than you think???

 

[eloquentEEL]

and the emergence of O'Dwyer, and Muckert signed till the end of next year

 

[Misty Bee]

Re Hopkins - his form has been excellent of late. I was really impressed with his gave last weekend. Figures - he's looking for a new contract!

Geez I hate it when players find form when they are seeking contracts!

 

[Mighty Tiger]

On Lee he hasn't signed with anyone yet he still hasn't given up hope of getting a better offer than what has already been given to him by 2 clubs in the NRL, but he will give the Eels the last chance in gaining his services for next season - But in saying that they are no where near what he could get playing in France they have apperantly offered to give him a Villa on top of a nice salary, but given Stapelton has gone to the Bulldogs and Vella could be heading to the Tigers they could make him a better offer than what he already has recieved (well he hopes for one anyway)

 

[Parraren]

but given Stapelton has gone to the Bulldogs and Vella could be heading to the Tigers :shock: they could make him a better offer than what he already has recieved (well he hopes for one anyway)

Where did you hear the Vella rumour? BBQ or tomato?

 

[True EEL]

mighty tiger

where did you get all this inside info

re: Stapleton and Vella and Hopkins for that matter?????
