Manly are facing possible sanction from the NRL over John Hopoate after the controversial rugby league figure coached the Sea Eagles' SG Ball side last weekend against the wishes of the game's governing body.
Hopoate was refused registration by the NRL last year after he wasn't deemed a fit and proper person to be involved with the game, following a litany of off-field trouble.

Hopoate's involvement was okayed by the NSWRL, something the NRL disagreed with.
