The Mole: Former NRL bad boy John Hopoate banned from Tigers functions after 'disgraceful' act​

Former NRL bad boy John Hopoate is embroiled in drama again, banned for life from Wests Tigers functions after abusing one of the game's senior officials.
Hopoate was a guest at the Tigers' gala 25-year dinner on Friday night, having played two seasons for the club in 2000-01.
But the notorious former Manly, Origin and Test winger put a sour taste on an otherwise great evening when he allegedly abused and threatened NSWRL chief executive David Trodden.

The vitriol was so intense that Trodden left the function, with a couple of officials escorting him and his family to their car.
"It was disgraceful and he's not welcome at Tigers functions in the future," Tigers chief executive Shane Richardson told Wide World of Sports.
The Tigers have since called Trodden and apologised for Hopoate's actions.
Hopoate's anger apparently dates back several years, when the NSWRL prevented him from coaching junior league football because of his atrocious record on and off the field.

Onlookers were stunned by the verbal attack.
"It was horrible to watch and all everyone could talk about afterwards," an onlooker who declined to be named said.
"The language was disgusting and Hopoate's actions ruined what should have been a great night for the club."

This guy is genuinely a psychopath
 
I have watched John Hopoate many times (coach or spectator) in Manly junior league in the past and he was often in trouble with junior league officials.Absolutely nothing would surprise me in regards to him as he is a disgusting person
 
I dont know how this piece of shit keeps being invited to anything to do with the game.
The Footy Show and Matty Johns Show both used to celebrate him and laugh at his antics.
Its the "ohh ya mad bastard" bro's that think this guy is cool. Hes a complete loser and its a damned shame he spawned so many kids. Poor buggers having an influence so stupid around them.
 
I seen the picture of him in attendance and thought what a great gesture by the club to invite him because the fall out from sponsors back in the whole finger thing was pretty severe. Plenty of smaller sponsors pulled the pin and others threatened to pull the pin on the club. I can’t believe he still carries on like that. Ink nailed it, total loser
 
I just read the news about it - what a stupid idiot. I am glad not all of his children are idiots like him. Talk about setting a bad example to his children.

Thats why I don't watch Matthew Jones, Fletch or Hindy. Kids that never grew up
 
I saw his photo on social media and was surprised he was invited then read this article and I wasn’t surprised. So I guess I feel neutral about it haha
