John Hopoate (born 16 January 1974 in Nukuʻalofa, Tonga) is a former professional rugby league footballer and boxer. He played club football for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, Wests Tigers and Northern Eagles in the National Rugby League competition. Hopoate also gained selection for Tonga, in the Australian national team and in the New South Wales State of Origin side. His usual position for most of his career was wing. He is a former Australian heavyweight boxing champion.
Hopoate was born in Tonga, but moved to Australia with his family while he was still young. He subsequently took up the game of rugby league. Hopoate began his professional league career with the Manly-Warringah side while he was only nineteen years of age. Hopoate did not play as a regular first-grade player until two years later in 1995 where he showed his ability by scoring 21 tries, finishing second in the top try-scoring table to team-mate Steve Menzies. After many controversies his reputation became greatly tarnished and his career continued on a downhill slide, seeing him become the "most suspended player of the modern era". A final incident in 2005 led to him being sacked and he retired from playing. He has since become a professional boxer. He is the father of Parramatta Eels player Will Hopoate.
John Hopoate is sent off for a massive hit on Keith Galloway in Round 2 of the 2005 NRL Season. As a result of this hit Hopoate was suspended for 17 matches and was sacked by the Manly club and never played a game of Rugby League again. Please rate comment and subscribe.

(David Barratt/Bill Clift/Carl L. Marsh)
anybody ever had a dream
wouldn't wake up
and lose it over me
anybody ever stole a scene
wouldn't need to
if the could only be
strangely serene
facing the shakedown
nobody ever ran the race
and came out
the same as they went in
nobody in a sacred place
need leave it
if they could only bring
some sense of grace for time
to lay down
hold this terrifying love
a charm against the cold
do this and think of me
and let the world unfold
spaced out in spacetown
i know you've been
shaping up for the shakedown
so let me in
we live and learn or crash and burn
this is spacetown
we're living in spacetown
everybody in the neighbourhood
wouldn't move on
if they could only see
everybody for the common good
shout something
apart from look at me
just watch the screen
when the mirror breaks down
you with all that you could own
are trying to be true
and wait so patiently
for a bolt from out the blue
show me something i can use
a stone that i can throw
or shall i turn away
