Originally from Tonga, Hopoate began playing in the Austrailian Rugby League for Wests Tigers in the year 2000. However, in 2001, he found the lowest point in his career. He being taken to the rugby league judiciary where he was being charged with unsettling several his opponents by inserting his finger into three players' anuses.
Hopoate tried to defend himself by saying that he was trying to give the other players a wedgie with his fingers and that he believed "what happens on the field should stay there." Rugby sounds a lot like Vegas.
