John Hopoate was a
Rugby League player who was
caught sticking his
finger up other players'
bottoms.
Here is a
joke about it that I received by
email:
Controversial
Wests Tigers winger
John Hopoate was last night on
the
receiving end of a 12 week suspension after being found guilty by the
NRL Judiciary of inserting his fingers up the
anuses of three
North
Queensland players.
NRL judiciary commissioner Jim Hall said last night 'The penalty needed
to be harsh. Anything less would have cleared
the passage way for this
to happen more often. We need to
plug up any holes that are emerging in
our game as quickly as we can.'
NRL chiefs were
poking around for answers for more than 4 hours before
emerging with their
verdict.
An
internal probe has also been set up to find out if this act is a
spreading trend amongst other clubs. 'We need to
remove this crap from
our game any way we can.' He added 'This might mean
a long and hard
search into every player on the field.'
Wests Tigers coach
Terry Lamb defended Hopoate's actions, saying 'There is
nothing wrong with
getting stuck into the opposition, and if there is
an
opening anywhere on the field I will always instruct my players to
take
it.'
Peter Jones, who was
on the receiving end of Hopoate's actions, was
unhappy with the verdict '
The whole thing stinks. He should have
received a lot more than a 12 week suspension, he should get as good as
he gives.'
Hopoate is now hoping to
wipe his hands of the incident.
On a separate issue,
Ian Roberts has announced his return to the NRL
'The modern game is now much more suited to
my style.'
