I've got a 6 month old hope pro 2 on my Whyte 905, its gained a bit of play, only a couple of mm at the rim but its irritating!
Any thoughts on what it could be?

Depends what you mean by wobble - if the rim rocks when you hold it and twist, then bearings as suggested. If the rim moves as the wheel spins, then it's out of true and needs re-trueing

FIVE ?? Most Hope rears have 2 main bearings that cause the wobble and 2 more in the freehub that usually wear slower...

It will be unlikely that the freehub bearings are gone, probably be the main bearings. I found my non drive side went first for some reason.
