MOST rugby league players get married during the off-season but not one week out from the premiership kick-off.
Will Hopoate has always done things differently.
Like taking two years away from rugby league to study to become a Mormon.
And yesterday the Parramatta fullback got married to Jimicina Green just six days before the blockbuster season-opener against his old club Manly.
It was a private affair held in a temple in Brisbane where he studied.
Only family and few of Hopoates closest friends attended the wedding.
