Seems he wasn't involved directly with the attack on the man who has now passed away. Obviously working as a bouncer is not a job John should be doing. Why can't this bloke find a job which will not embarrass his considerable family. Call me old fashion if you like but doesn't John want his kids to be proud of him as a father. Bob Fulton, you were influential in this blokes life at Manly and you now have impeccable connections. Set him up with a decent job or can't he be trusted.

Why the hell is it Manly's responsibility to find him a job??
Fair enough he played for Manly, but he played for the Tigers too. Is it their responsibility to also find him "suitable" work?
An idiot is an idiot. He makes his own choices in life which have nothing to do with the Manly rugby league organisation or its supporters.
I feel for his son and the rest of his family but John Hopoate's problems are his own. I'm sure if William needs help or councelling over any of this (or other matters) then Manly will provide it to him.

Why would Many associate or help a man who stuck his finger up grown mens anus during a football games ?

Manly should stay away from this trouble man

his a ticking time bomb

Don't forget he was sacked by Manly.

Thus cutting all 'ties' Hopoate would have had with the club.

Nice seeing his son trying to trip over one of the reporters today. :crazy:

EDIT - A female reporter at that.

Exactly mate. The Eagles have a long list of magic footballers and quality individuals but he was a disgrace to the club and his family. His son appears to have inherited that dodgy DNA. Forget about John and pray that somebody turns William around. An incredibly gifted talent...but so was his old man.

I thought it looked a bit like Will as well tbh. Didn't get a great shot of him, but looked similar.

My only doubt is that surely if it was Will the media would've been very quick to pounce on it. Very quick.

John's an idiot, and I really do fear for Will's future having a deadsh*t older man like that. His smirk whenever walking out of court or the police station is sickening.

And what the f**k was with that tie. Show the court some f**ken respect you douchebag.

John Hopoate is probably the only Manly i've disliked. Shayne Dunley very close.

Phil Bailey?

Shayne Dunley is hard to top though.

What?

Further details please.

Since the footage I seen was on nine, you don't have the voice of the nine reporter (Good looking one wearing the pink blouse on the right) however if you listen and watch closely at the 0:42 second mark you can see his son? in the backround - blue shirt move from left to right in the back round and then the reporter turn around and say 'Why are you trying to trip me?'

Nice footage of John @ 1:11 shouldering the same reporter. :crazy:

Read in the local this morning that he has signed with the Toukley Hawks for this season.

Should be interesting, he'd fit in well up there.

Correction. It was reported that he hasn't got a security licence therefore should not have been trying to perform the duties of a security officer, which if correct puts him in deeper sh*te. Apparently he was working as an RSA (responsible service of alcohol) attendant whose role it is to ensure intoxicated patrons are not served more alcohol and under-age persons are refused service. An RSA remains inside his/her designated bar area and does NOT involve themselves in doorman issues & definetely does NOT chase after patrons.
Hopoate has been given chance after chance, he will never learn or better still, he doesn't want to rehabilitate himself. He is an A grade dropkick. I feel sorry for his wife and younger kids who have him as a father figure :cry:
