Our backline next year will be
1. Welsby
2. Makinson
3. Hopoate
4. Percival
5. Grace
With Josh Simm backing up (like Welsby has this year) and Nisbet and Martyn behind him in case of an injury crisis in the three quarts.
My understanding is we enquired to Hurrells agent whilst the Hopoate negotiations were ongoing as an option in case we couldn’t reach an agreement. Since we have, it wouldn’t make much sense, with us still talking to an unnamed prop and second rower in the NRL (lots of names flying around) as well as Joey Lussick. It may be possible after those signings for us to bring another in, and it may be possible we’re looking at Hurrell for that role (I know Woolf is a big fan of him) but that’s pure speculation?'"
Hopoate is a natural Full Back.
Always has been - he can play centre, but he's not a centre - and doesn't play Sundays as he's a Mormon..
Skints have an 'announcement' at 2pm apparantly..
