Rugby League is undoubtedly the greatest game of all. To say that I miss it is a huge understatement.

I miss the tries, the big hits, the crowds, the jerseys, even the referee errors. I miss literally everything about it.

That said, not even League has it exactly right.

Unfortunately, league is rather prone to a scandal. Some hilarious, some ridiculous and some unfortunately serious and life changing.

We take a look at 10 of the biggest Rugby League controversies and scandals of the century.

For obvious reasons, we'll avoid specifics where they're not 100 per cent well known.

3. John Hopoate Moments Of Madness

The fact that this isn't one or two says a lot about what it yet to come on this list.

Whilst playing for the Wests Tigers in 2001, John Hopoate stuck his fingers into the backsides of three Cowboys players landing him a monster 12-game suspension.

Hopoate was banned for a combined 45 weeks during his NRL career and has recently been banned from A Grade League for 10 years for punching players.

Considering his remarkable rise and ridiculous fall as a boxer, the fact he's remembered for the finger scandal really says something. It shows just how big this was in terms of controversy.

This went world wide and made the NRL look ridiculous for many weeks. Still to this day there hasn't been a reasonable reason for this act offered up as Hopoate continues to laugh it off.
