Rhan Ran Away, Lions' Forward Quits
Speedy Rhan Hooper could have been a regular player for the Lions this season but he has decided to leave the club. He won't be delisted yet so there is a chance he returns to the Lions later in the 2007 season.

AFL Fantasy Impact:
The Lions have the big forward spots covered but there are several open positions for smalls to help out Brown and Bradshaw. With Hooper out of the mix it could mean someone like Schmidt gets more playing time, or maybe the Lions move one of their veterans like Chris Johnson or Nigel Lappin up forward. Johnson knows how to kick a goal and would have value as a fantasy forward, Lappin can also play at both ends although he would be more likely to get a lot more stats if played back. Something else to watch is to see if Brisbane do eventually remove Hooper from the list, they have Anthony Corrie on the rookie list and if he is healthy he could step right into their AFL team. Daniel Dzufer is another rookie player they may consider elevating.
