Brothers’ prop Harry Hoopert is thriving amidst his side’s run through September as they prepare for a preliminary final against UQ on Sunday.

“Overall, it’s been a pretty good season so far and we’ve just got to keep chipping away and hopefully we can get that premiership,” Hoopert told Rugby News.

The Queensland Red has re-joined his Brothers’ teammates since round fourteen, the last time the Brethren clashed with the Students.

Alongside the likes of James O’Connor and Harry Wilson, Hoopert’s late season addition has helped Brothers reach the penultimate week of the season.
