He definitely is a gun, doubt that has changed.
But he is gun with essentially a one year history, we don't know if he's a career 60's guy, or maybe settles back into the 50's.
What I do know is that there was only one occasion across the 24 games last year where he played less minutes than he did this past weekend.
I also am of the opinion that the Parra bench is stronger this year than it was to start last year.
Tuilagi has his drawbacks, but I think he offers more than Doorey did, Joffa has had a full preseason with the Eels, Grieg is more experienced now, Lane is no longer in an injury affected season, Cartwright is more settled in the team and looks like he is continuing to develop.
It may just be that the Eels don't need Hopgood to play ~70 minutes each week this year
There's merit to holding Hopgood, but I've always been of the opinion that sometimes you have to get on the front foot with Fantasy, and sometimes you have to sit back and let it come to you - the trick is knowing when to do which haha
