He's on a 2 + 1 contract I believe with the last year being optional. If we're loaning him for the entire season to Leigh I'd be surprised if we decided to take up that 1 year option at the end.

Rumour I heard it was attitude (to training) issues.

Sometimes you will be left with a square peg and a round hole, I wouldn't be surprised if you exercised the option as I believe he will have a big year at a full time leigh

Better than Chris hill so we were told.


I wondered what had happened to this lad

The view of a season ticket holder at leigh who was a good friend of mine.

I heard mixed reviews of him when we signed him tbh. There was some Leigh fans on the same coach as me on the way to Wembley last season and we asked them about Hopkins and they described him as solid, he'd do a job but wouldn't be a superstar.
