Correct.

Sunday is the 1st day of the week.

Celebrating the Sabbath on Saturday
Q. Why don’t Latter-day Saints celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday like they did in the Bible?

A. (by Marc Schindler) In fact, as Jews themselves, Jesus and his disciples followers did observe the Jewish Sabbath. We know this from biblical references to both Jesus and His apostles teaching in synagogues. For instance, in Luke 4:17-23 we read that Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath.

But even as far back as Jesus’s ministry, He started deliberately but subtly challenging much of the rigidity of contemporary Sabbath law (see, for instance, the story of Jesus and the disciples plucking grain to eat on the Sabbath in Matthew 12:1-13). After His ascension, when the disciples went out to preach the Gospel, Gentile converts were not required to observe the Sabbath, although most Jewish converts continued to. This is highlighted in the famous vision shown to Peter, as recorded in Acts 10, where he is told by the Lord not to require Sabbath observation by Gentile converts.

So how did the day get changed from Saturday (the seventh day) to Sunday (the first day) amongst early Christians? In Acts 20:7 we read of a gathering of Saints in Asia Minor on Sunday; that it was a religious service is revealed by the fact that Paul preached during the meeting. Sunday was picked because it was the day of Jesus’s resurrection (see 1 Corinthians 16:1-2 and Revelation 1:10). Sunday became known as the Lord’s Day.

Most modern Christians, including Latter-day Saints, now follow a practice whereby Sunday, the first day of the week, is observed as the Lord’s Day. Technically speaking, this day isn’t the Sabbath, which is the seventh day; this is a distinction we rarely make today, but shouldn’t forget.

You are missing one very important part of this description. Sabbath is not from dawn till dusk, it is a 24 hour period. The Jewish faith and SDA hold Sabbath from sunset FRIDAY to sunset SATURDAY. If Hoppa is stating that Sunday is his Sabbath. Is he not saying sunset Saturday to sunset Sunday??

Good point when does the team travel to Melbourne ?
The blokes doesn't even want to watch games on a Sunday so why would he even bother travelling with the team? Unless of course he goes a day ahead and does shit all on Sunday whilst in Melbourne?

Not even sure why he can't but I read an article where he said he wasn't going to be watching any games on a Sunday

Cause he cherry picked not to, but happy to travel on Sunday's
He is a fucking selfish pussy with no pride or honour

He is not a man

A man stands for something other than himself

Hoppa only stands for himself
He has no honour

Will Hopoate's decision to forgo Sunday games for his faith could have implications for Canterbury's salary cap should the club run into injury trouble.

Hopoate is prepared to miss the grand final, should Canterbury make it that far, because of his Mormon beliefs. However, the NRL won't be giving the Bulldogs any salary cap dispensation if they are forced to bring in players outside the top 25 to replace the NSW three-quarter. Some clubs, most notably Parramatta, recently busted their second-tier cap when they called up players outside the top squad. The Bulldogs manage their cap much better, but could find themselves in a tight spot if a raft of outside backs join the likes of Brett Morris and Chase Stanley on the sidelines while Hopoate sticks to his no-Sunday edict.

Very good point made there... if we blow our second tier cap because he won't play Sundays the fans will go beserk.

Wonder how lafai feels about all this? Sacrificing his spot for someone who only plays when he desires?

Don't know whether I should more pissed off at Hoppa or the club. I just really can't believe Raelene has let all this shit happen tbh and we look like major idiots for letting Hoppa run rings around the club.
