Albert Hopoate reckons "one little stuff-up" could cost him an NRL jersey and send him hurtling back to Canberra's NSW Cup team.
But that could bring out the best in the Raiders winger as he returns to his preferred position for a clash with the Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.
Hopoate started the season at centre but the return of Seb Kris sees the 23-year-old shift to the wing at the expense of Nick Cotric.
