Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
Was awesome yesterday, particularly in the first half.
Still showing signs of his limited preseason, but was influential anyway.
It was good to see us use the midfield flexibility a bit more than in round one. Dusty, Cotch and Bolton all had more midfield minutes.
We need to just keep rotating them all through. Smash the opposition!

Can't see how he pulls up in 6 days. We *smile* up our 7 yr investment.
Ankles are bad remember Foley
The fact he came back on is positive because it rules out any dramatic structural damage. I was calling syndesmosis live, but pretty unlikely he could get back an manage to weight bear with any sort of significant damage there.
Most likely is he has just given it a tweak, so it will depend on how it blows up today and tomorrow and then how manageable it is with strapping and some juice.
He came on and impacted as well. Might be a sore boy today but can’t see him missing.
Interesting topic, if we want to score this year we're best with Short, Baker Graham or Cotchin touching it.

Jacob and Tim have shown us already what we're missing the last two years. With Dion set, our midfielders are looking magnificent!
Axel was ankles and Achilles issues. Had a knee issue when he retired but no ACL’s that I can remember.
Hopper listed as doubtful this week
“It was pretty ugly, he's actually pretty lucky. Jacob's experienced a little bit of joint soreness in his knee and we're going to monitor him on Wednesday and see how he recovers and make a decision. He's probably doubtful at this stage, but we'll see how he is on Wednesday”

TBR, silly question, is the knee soreness but then an ankle?
He moved ok after coming back on, that counts for me. I reckon with a light week he plays despite being doubtful.
Reckon he is more likely than Dusty TBH.
