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.

Like Solomon, another lucky escape for us thanks to the potential trade falling through IIRC.

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.
