NRL star Jamil Hopoate's career is in the balance after being charged with assault and drink driving on Sunday evening.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph, the 26-year-old was allegedly found by police driving under the influence on the NSW mid-north coast.
He was charged with three counts of common assault, two counts of stalking or intimidation and mid-range drink driving.
According to the report, police will allege in court the assault charges relate to an attack on Hopoate's girlfriend at a pub in Port Macquarie.
Jamil is the son of former NRL star John Hopoate, and the brother of Bulldogs fullback Will Hopoate.
