Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3110538, member: 1899"] Maybe Jamil was the mysterious sixth player? I doubt it since Niu was listed as a reserve twice while Hopoate was never considered but that could be what the NRL website is playing at. Either that, or they were too lazy to go into depth so it was easier to dump Hopoate with the development players when technically he was just on a train and trial deal. What we know is that he had signed a deal for 2020. He may have still been with the club training with them but only in a official train and trial capacity similar to Pride Petterson-Robati. They may have even considered him for that final squad before ultimately going with Keenan Palasia who earned his deal mid-season. We don't know any of the technicalities of a 27-30 squad player transferring mid-season to another club. We know he had signed an NRL deal for 2020, but for 2019 he may have been eligible for the development squad since the Broncos were only going to pay him less than half his $72,500 salary he was entitled to. At this point your guess is as good as mine. That's just the squad the Broncos submitted when they had to finalise their Top 30 squad. [/QUOTE]
