It's bizarre, the defence is mostly if it was sexual assault in a legal sense, but they seem to have lost the fact he tampered with another persons arse. I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been more from the media tbh.
Twice, that’s been exposed anyway.

Yeah, thats the kicker. One incident you could maybe make an argument of accidental or some shit. Twice in a few weeks, not so much.

You would assume he & Hopgood are mates, so there is that angle of it being a stupid prank. Not sure of any relationship with Garrick though, at least not a consensual one..

You and me both. I can't understand why the media wouldn't jump on it, it would get a lot of attention from league and non-league people. It's abhorrent.

Hopoate got 12 weeks for a seemingly one-off (unless I forget something) incident that the judicial officer said was the most disgusting incident he'd seen in 45 years.

I can't recall if Hoppa was a one off. Maybe more than once in a single game against the Cows? I also dont remember how quickly it was dealt with. Maybe there are alternate angles that show there is nothing in it, seems doubtful based on the footage we have seen though. Maybe 360 are saving it for when the Souffs well runs dry.

Sadly a common practice in just about every neighborhood I have lived in.

If only we had a former Penrith Panthers player living on every street. The world would be a better place.

We are trying... They keep coming back though
