Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

Yeezy said they'd erred playing Dion second-up. Reckon they'd make the same mistake again? I guess it's possible. Like toof said, we'll see tonight.
Its not just Meatball. We've had a plethora of rehabilated players go back down again over the last few years. And its not just about getting through tonight either. We need recovered players to get back out there....and stay out there long term. We need Hopper to string at least 10 games together, preferably the rest of the season (not accounting for bad luck of course eg a head knock or whatever).

This was actually brought up on radio on Monday night ie. we've had a shocking run of injuries the last few years to players coming back from previous ones.

Fair point. Certainly need a good hard look at the S&C department.

It’s only April but may as well put him out to pasture for ‘24 as this is ridiculous.

Totally agree. Would look to offload him as well. Will go down as one of the biggest trade disasters in RFC history after John Pitura

Hopper has never had continuity. Let’s face it, he’s just injury prone. Feel sorry for the bloke. I’m not convinced an extra week would make a difference with him.
