It's gutting that McCormack is out and very surprising that Arnau has been thrown in. Pretty surprised that Harrold has been chosen ahead of Hoops as well.

come on arnau.. this is your moment. agree though that hooper maybe is a bit unlucky but often his best performances have been coming off the bench... harrold will last for 90 if needs be

Anybody know why Hooper was released from Grays in the first place?

He was out of contract, he'd fallen out with the club over the number of games he'd started and, as he wasn't a product of their youth set-up and had only been there a season (I think....?) they wouldn't have been entitled to more than a nominal amount had they stuck their heels in and demanded a fee.
