Rhan Hooper has been fined a further 40 grand for not meeting the requirements they set him for returning after suspension
They said his training standards were improved he didnt meet the requirements

40 grand seems like alot

I reckon it would be more like 40 grand docked from his player payments for a year, not as a fine. Just the media making a bigger deal out of it.

nah 40 grand fine, he agreed to it
it was part of his contract clause

, wish i had a lazy 40 grand laying around

It does seem like a lot of money but the good news coming out of the story was that he is staying on the playing list, i think this is great news.

Does anyone else get the feeling Voss is being a bit of a waanker here

Just here?

Nah, I'd do the same thing as a new coach. First guy to stuff up gets crucified to send a message to the group that my word is law and I won't accept any crap from anybody for any reason.

Hooper must be too full of his own self importance and needed to be put in his place. So Voss overreacted so as to set the tone for his coaching career!

darrrr nope mate the bloke up up for serious breaches of his playing contract
1 failing to attend pre-season training the bloke could of had his contract terminated instead a 40000 dollar fine these blokes are on big money lucky to be there i say if ha broke a contract in the real world you be out on ha pooper

Hooper is a serial offender and deserves what he gets. Other players do the hard yards and play by the rules, so should Hooper.

Yes, it's fair. He is a repeat offender. It's time for him to grow up.

agreed ..

shame he can't get it together he could be special

Yep, Mr Hooper has taken off before and missed most of a pre-season and had a late start and this year he has done it again. Vossy is being tough but then again he did train himself with Hooper through his suspension in the gym over Christmas. Voss was a hard man and a professional when he played you would expect nothing less as coach.
