Jamil a flog like his father!

RISING NRL star Jamil Hopoate has been jailed for at least a year for the drunken assault of two men at a Manly bar.
The Sea Eagles player hugged and kissed his father John and NRL star brother Will as court officers led him away.
Magistrate Jane Mottley said “this was a random act of violence perpetrated against innocent victims by a drunken assailant”.

Ms Mottley said Mr Blackett, who had come to the aid of Hopoate’s first victim, “was cast aside like a toy so the assault on Mr Christie could continue”.
The court heard Hopoate kicked Mr Christie as he tried to get off the ground, with the injuries knocking him unconscious.
Hopoate’s lawyer had asked the court to place the father of one, who was awarded a first grade contract with Manly next season, on a good behaviour bond.
Will Hopoate told the court during a sentencing hearing last week that his younger brother had “shamed” the family, and felt “regret, shame, remorse in a very deep sense”.

His two co-accused are awaiting sentencing.
Ms Mottley fixed a total 18-month jail sentence for the assault on Mr Christie and a two-year good behaviour bond for the attack on Mr Blackett, described in court as a “good Samaritan”.
Hopoate intends to appeal the severity of the sentence but has been refused bail ahead of a District Court hearing.
Magistrate Jane Mottley found the appeal has “no real prospect of success” and that he is “an unacceptable risk”.
Some members of the Hopoate family cried as Hopoate was once again taken back into custody.
Earlier, court sheriffs intervened as Hopoate abused a female journalist in the aftermath of the announcement of the jail term.

in typical NRL culture, the need to prove himself a man, by throwing their fists around!
but as a reminder, to who this fog is a son of, Jamil's father john is the bloke made head line news for this incident

Greater Western Sydney player Toby Greene fined after assault at Zagame's

Date
December 9, 2014 - 3:35PM

An AFL player has escaped conviction over a drunken assault at a Melbourne bistro that left a bouncer with nightmares.

Toby Greene was fined $2500 for the unlawful assault at Zagame's Caulfield restaurant in May.

The night turned sour after the Greater Western Sydney player and his friends were told they would no longer be served alcohol, and later were asked to leave.

Police prosecutors told the Melbourne Magistrates Court Greene stepped in after the bouncer and one of his friends started to wrestle.

Greene, who was using a crutch because of an ankle injury, punched the bouncer twice to the head or upper body.

The 21-year-old, who is from Melbourne but lives in Rozelle in Sydney during the AFL season, was pulled away by a staff member, but punched the victim twice more before the group fled.

Both men were later arrested and spent four hours in police cells for being drunk in a public place.

Greene's lawyer Bernie Balmer said he had already been punished by his football club and had potentially missed out on bonus earnings.

Greater Western Sydney fined Greene $5000 and issued him with a five-match suspension for drinking alcohol while injured and for failing to notify the club of his arrest.

Magistrate Franz Holzer supported the prosecution's call for general deterrence.

"As a public figure he is expected to be a role model," he said.

Reading from a victim impact statement, Mr Holzer said the bouncer still had nightmares and believed that one more punch or kick could have killed him.

"Gratuitous street violence in this manner shouldn't be condoned," he said.

Both men were fined $2500 without conviction.


Lol lol lol .

Try again dumbo .

Meh, some good apples in the family and a couple of drongos.

[sydneyfc]

seems like the nrl is full of drongos

how many criminal convictions is that this month now? 6, 7?

[Foolproof]

The AFL has some drongos in it's ranks as well as the story reprinted above demonstrates.

[AFLsforPussies]

Yeah funny how AFL fans always make out their code is innocent and nobody ever does anything wrong in their game.

AFL has more coward punches and dog shots than NRL by a mile.

As for Jamil, he deserves to be punished.

[Foolproof]

Oh no I don't agree with the second sentence there. Coward punches are a general problem that affects both codes (and several other sports - David Hookes as a victim comes to mind).

But I agree with the rest of that.

[AFLsforPussies]

Nobody in AFL goes toe to toe foolproof. Is all hits when the other is not looking. Is just the nature of the game. If an AFL player tried that shit in Rugby League along with the elbowing and shirt grabbing he would last 2 minutes.

Rugby League has send off for dog shots now days.

[Foolproof]

No one goes toe to toe in the AFL because they'll get fined and suspended. The other hits get the same treatment. Fines and/or suspensions. The object of AFL is the ball. The object of NRL is the man with the ball. It's a big difference and it's why toe to toe is tolerated in league. Both work for that sport and makes them the great spectacles they are.

no body goes toe to toe in AFL, because they get suspended or fined for doing so. AFL is about going for the ball.
the NRl is just for unskilled, juiced up tards on roids!

[AFLsforPussies]

No nobody goes toe to toe in AFL because they would rather put an elbow in someones ribs when they are not looking or try a dog shot instead.

its because they are not allowed to just stand their and belt the crap out of each other, they have to go for the ball.

what is it with you insecure league folk, to feel like a man you need to hit some one!
