I would. That's the reason Joash was meant to spell Riley last week b4 Will left the field.
I'm excited to see how Joash handles his shift this weekend. Fingers crossed.
I heard an interview with Hopgood after last weeks win. He said Ryles put it to the team if anyone was interested in providing relief for Riley. Given he'd had previously experience in the role Hoppy volunteered. He further commented that that experiment is now dead and buried.
On Hoppy he spoke about his injury issues since SOO last year. Said it was a really difficult injury and he hadn't been able to do much except for about 4 weeks pre season. I can see him improving. I reckon he will soon be back to his best.

I watched the 9Now replay and Joey has a boner for Hoppy.

Can't play them there.

The tigers got in trouble after they sent 2 contracted top 30 blokes back to that level.

I may be wrong but I believe you can play them in RMC however there is a rule in all top 30 contracts that if a player is demoted to that level they are allowed to immediately get out of their contract if they wish. I believe the Tigers did it to try and force the players out.

that's right...but that's no different to just tapping him on the shoulder and saying Dude, find yourself another club and you can f**k off.

Yeh 100%.... It just seems petty and immature way of handling it, almost like no one had the balls to have the tough conversations.

Come to think of it, seems very Tigers!
