THE BRISBANE Lions have slapped forward Rhan Hooper with a hefty $40,000 fine for persistent and serious breaches of his playing contract.

The club released a statement on Monday night that said: "Hooper failed to achieve the team's set benchmark standards upon returning from his club-imposed 28-day suspension."

The Lions had suspended Hooper for four weeks for failing to attend pre-season training.

Very true.

We've actually been very lucky with deals falling over or failing to eventuate recently.

Soloman, Copeland, Judd, Warnock, Hooper, Seaby are some I can think of.

Not saying he hasn't played any good, more that I am glad we kept our picks and got Cotchin and Rance.

Now that you put it that way, I dont think I could give up Cotchin for Judd either, and when you throw Rance in there as well I now understand and agree with your point

See above.

Judd hasn't been a failure at Carlton, but i'm happy we have Cotchin and Rance.
