[Resurrected] jamil hopoate

[manlyfan76]

Delivery boy (if proven guilty). Still carries a max penalty of life though so yes, rather serious predicament.

Plus existing wrap sheet not in his favour if it gets to sentence

 

[MissKate]

Well I guess it was a fortunate escape for Manly when the nrl played hardball on us signing him when he got out of the nick the first time

So the police intercepted 514kgs of cocaine & substituted it for a harmless substance before releasing it.

That's a serious amount of yayo.

Ex-NRL player breaks down in court

Ex-NRL player Jamil Hopoate has broken down in tears in court before being denied bail over his alleged role in the importation of $155 million of cocaine.

Did he do a hammy running from the cops? Treated for a leg injury prior to being charged.

Once again, thanks Bozo and whoever you’re recruiting man (Dave Nable?) was, who brought the Hopoate stain to the Northern Beaches.

Wonderful return on your investment.

They brought bad publicity.

But hoppa and will helped us to premierships, and the other brothers gave us some good results in the junior leagues.

So much potential squandered.

You never know, Lehi might stay and kick on.

 

[Snake]

The nucleus of the Hoppa family live in Manly and go for Manly which is interesting given they've all defected at different stages and publicly slammed the club....wtf?!

 

[Jerry1]

Lets not tar the young one with the same brush. Give him a chance to make it good hey.

 

[wombatgc]

If that’s the best defence a QC has for you, then it’s off to the big house for Jamil.

 

[BoomStickBarbie]

Life in prison just for the 8kgs and importation. We all know life isn't life in Australia but this bloke is gonna spend a long time in gaol.

 

[HoldenV8]

THIS is why our club needs to distance itself from muppets and people of poor moral stature.

If we have people on our books who have had repeat DV or drink driving issues, or are 'known' to police...... we need to cut them loose. For the good of our club, our reputation, and our standing in our community.

These guys don't seem to 'improve' over time.... so cut the cancers out EARLY.

This Hopoate crew are a disgrace.

We don't need them.

100% agree. But while families like the Hopoate's keep on producing talented league players, clubs (including Manly as we have seen with that very family) will always keep them hanging around hoping to cash in on that talent instead of telling them to hit the bricks like they should.

The reality is that Manly should have told John Hopoate and his family to tell their story walking long ago ... more trouble than they've been worth despite that John and Will are Manly premiership winners.

 

[BOZO]

The 26-year-old cried and waved at his young daughter, who appeared in court along with his father John, mother Brenda and NRL player brother Will.

I feel sad for his young daughter who is a victim

I feel sad for all the other sons and daughters who are also victims of drug dealers

I feel sad for Jamils Mother and other good role models of the family

I feel sad for the ones that are lost in their own selfishness and have no self control

Because they are out of control lost souls

The Good news is that There is hope for those that choose it

because with hope anything is possible

At this rate the NRL can expand with an all-prison all-stars team.

 

[grassy]

Yea but he’s an NRL player he has to be innocent. Too bad he has never played for Manly hey guys. Fu.....g grub. Although the NRL is doing fine fighting them head high tackles and fighting for the future of the player, so everything looks good on the outside with Vlandys face at the helm.Great timing hey. Sarcasm intended and then some.

His legal defense is so weak, he's effed in my humble opinion.

Yes, he should take any plea they offer ..
But I don't think they need too. The feds got the tip off so they know who the big fish are already.

Triple J however managed to mention Jamil played for Manly - not the Broncos. Some news media were on point with the reporting
