William Hopoate to sign with Parramatta Eels

[Stagger eel]

Wow

are you shocked Ray??

 

[Parramatta1947]

Unbelievable if it is true - the obvious risk is how he will be when he returns, 2 years is a long time out of the game.

:lol:. I actually don't give a shit at all. It is just sad trying to see you guys rub it in when I just don't give a f**k. He was leaving the club anyway, I actually would be disappointed if I heard we signed him for $500,000 for 2014, because he can't promise to come back as the same player.

We won the f**king premiership and you guys battled for the spoon the whole year. It is just pathetic seeing you trying to bag a Manly fan. :lol:

You've just won a premiership, yet you're here discussing this. :lol: can manly supporters get any dumber??

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

well this news has brightened up my tuesday morning!

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Alot of money for a winger.

Maybe the plan is for him to play fullback.

Good signing. Eat shit Manly.

 

[Twizzle]

the best person we recruited this year was Nolan, love your work

He carved up at center at origin level. And he's still in his first season!

The guy is a top level talent anywhere from 1-5. I don't think 2 years out of the game will hamper his natural talent at all.


Willie Tonga is here for 2 years, we've already signed his replacement.
Loving the fact that Hayne will be 24, Sandow 24, Hoppa and Loko 21. Potentially lethal backline right there - with years left in it.

hear hear!!

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Well as the Zen always said, we will see.

 

[strider]

top player - but hard to get excited about a player who won't be here for 2 yrs .... hope he's careful riding his bike on that mission - alot can happen in 2 years

 

[Pazza]

A bit of risk but if it pays off we are going to have three very talented players in our spine. I guess the days of forwards being highly paid at parra are over.

 

[tresurehunt]

is he really that good, he finishes off well.........


Not too keen on the possibility of John Hoppa getting a role on our coaching staff... hopefully that's just paper talk. this worries me more..

 

[eel01s]

Let's hope he doesn't suffer 2nd year syndrome in 2014! ;-)

Very exciting news for Parra fans, if only it was for 2012... It will be very interesting to see what training regime he undertakes whilst away.

 

[Snoochies]

Is there anyone still hating on Kearney?

 

[B-Tron 3000]

Also, this will help when it comes to re-signing the likes of Jarryd, who is good mates with him.

 

[Gronk]

Good news that he's going to QLD. There are a lot of (ar)souls that need saving up there.

 

[whall15]

This worries me, does any player return good after these kind of exercises?

I suppose it's only in Queensland, maybe we can use Inglis geography and tell him Parramatta is in Queensland.

 

[hineyrulz]

Big risk but the pay off could be massive, and in 2 yrs time the cap could be worth at least 7 million. He has been brilliant this year so he's definitely worth the gamble.

Plenty have done this sort of thing before.

Poor Manly, only 2 days after winning a GF and all people are talking about is the Stewart Brothers saga and their star player leaving. Celebrations didn't last long.
