Hopoate Resumes Career in Rock, Paper, Bonzai Plant, Scissors, Chopsticks, Paper Clip, Man Event

Disgraced protege of scurrulous ace and guttural reporter SportingMind, John Hopoate has reanimated his ailing career by entering into the inaugural fisting event held in Greece.
"He's got the goods, this kid," a Greek fister and black-market stall-holder told his go-between as Hopoate, shielded from the media by SportingMind, was put through some fisting manouevres.
"He's the best I've ever seen," SportingMind, on ambassadorial duties, told the world's media. "His mastery of the fist shows a deep understanding of what can be done with it."
The event, the first of its kind anywhere outside a Rugby League Stadium, involves a number of difficult fist-signals that competitors have to grapple with, but it's above the shoulders that the game is won and lost.
"The rules stipulate that the signal must be held above the shoulders for no fewer than 6 days, which makes it marginally more exciting than anything you could witness on the League field," SportingMind, a convert to the great game of Aussie Rules, said.
Hopoate, perhaps the eventual champion, has already demonstrated his understanding of the complexities of how insular a society ours really is by accidentally sticking his finger up at someone, at the wrong time.
"That someone wasn't me," Nine's Ken Sutcliffe, and former underwear model for Graham Kennedy, told his self, "but I sometimes wish it wasn't," a confused Sutcliffe read off a cue-card.
