Jamil Hopoate Jailed

[Berkeley_Eagle]

If only he abstained from alcohol

 

[bones]

This is Australia. Isn't the correct spelling of his name Gamol?

Talking all things Hoppa.
This was in the NT News.

A sickening attack and an appropriate punishment. The club must act in the same manner as they did with Tetevano. Don't want my club employing people like this.

I understand the sentiment mick, but this is different to the Tetavano circumstances because he had not ever even played for us. I want my club to be like family. The Hopoate family are Sea Eagles family and I want our great club to stick with him and help him rehabilitate himself. Possibly.......in the fullness of time......he may play for us again, but he is family.

Would you wipe a member of your own family if they had made a bad decision and screwed up.

Family? Didn't Hopoate Snr direct his sons to Parramatta for a few extra bucks. The only reason Jamil came back was because Parra got rid of him. Yeah, real loyal!

Couldn't agree more. Manly have gone above and beyond for this family time and again, and have been s**t on every time.

The time has come for the club to sever all ties with the Hopoates.

Over the years the club has stood firmly by John and his clan inspite of the countless lunatic actions his family have transgressed.

Loyalty is a 2 way street and that family have not shown in kind any sort of loyalty to our club instead Hoppa arranged for his boys to play for our arch enemies. That has never sat well with me as a member.

I do hope that Jamil can turn his life around, he is a seriously talented footballer.

Enough is Enough. Time to cut all the Hoppas loose!

 

[Beaver boy]

Appropriate punishment, but give him one more chance, because Will will come back for sure.

 

[Silver Eagle]

We have Jamil younger brother in our sg ball team hope we keep him

 

[Shoe1]

To be fair John didn't get into any trouble really when he actually played for manly. Will behaved well too. Apart from switching clubs.

Hoppa did serve an 18 match ban in 2005 for belting a sharks player.

You're right, but I meant off field stuff. He's come up a bit in the news since he retired.

 

[bones]

That's 2 of John Hopoate's kids Manly have tried now ..... only 59 to go.

 

[niccipops]

I guess enough is enough.
This guy admitted guilt so why did Manly allow him to play this year?
Bad move.

 

[Normie]

Good!

 

[Peter C]

I said before - What the club does here will signal their intentions relating to Will coming off contract...

Will has not progressed as a player, he's on huge money at Parra, so I can't see him coming back home.

This failed to mention that the dog committed suicide after the event because he couldn't live with the shame and the taunts from the other dogs in the neighbourhood.

Would you wipe a member of your own family if they had made a bad decision and screwed up.

Family? Didn't Hopoate Snr direct his sons to Parramatta for a few extra bucks. The only reason Jamil came back was because Parra got rid of him. Yeah, real loyal!

For the record, it was an extra $450k each year. Hardly a few extra bucks.

Not exactly.

William's contract with manly was $150k/yr for 3 years
(2009-2011), which was staggering money for a 16 year old, who
didn't debut in 1st grade until 2011 - the 3rd year of his contract.

Parra came in with their deal of $600k a year, for 3 years from 2014.
But Manly would've offered something like $450k/yr (ruffly? maybe $500k)
for his next upgrade and would've liked some "loyalty" from young Will,
Only because they had strongly supported the kid early on.
