Canterbury skipper James Graham has thrown his support behind Will Hopoates decision to sit out Sundays NRL elimination final with Penrith due to his religious beliefs.Hopoate has informed the club he will not be part of the Bulldogs side for the sudden-death clash at Allianz Stadium.I am comfortable with that, said Graham at Mondays NRL finals launch.Wills faith makes him the person who he is.We all support his decision.Brett Morris is likely to move from wing to fullback in place of Hopoate.But Dogs coach Des Hasler faces something of a outside back crisis for the clash with the in-form Panthers, with Sam Perrett not due back from a neck injury until week two of the finals, if the Dogs progress.Reimis Smith, who scored two tries on his NRL debut earlier this year, has a broken leg. Rookie Brad Abbey is also unavailable due to injury.Tyrone Phillips, who has been struggling with a ankle injury, is expected to come onto the wing for Morris.Star fullback Hopoate, who observes the Mormon faith, missed three matches earlier this year because they fell on Sunday.We covered for him when he was out before and Im sure we can do so again, Graham said.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame kicked starting safety Max Redfield off the team Sunday, suspended reserve cornerback Devin Butler indefinitely after they were arrested in separate incidents and said four others arrested with Redfield face internal discipline.Coach Brian Kelly said in a statement he made the decision after meeting with the players, reviewing the evidence available to him and talking with team leaders.That process has only served to deepen my disappointment in the poor decisions made by these young men, Kelly said. Their conduct fell far short of what we expect from those who represent our football team and this great university.All six could still face additional discipline from the university. The players, who had been given the weekend off before the start of classes on Tuesday, got in trouble after completing preseason camp Friday.Butler, who already was out until October with a broken foot, was taken into custody early Saturday after a police officer said the player punched and slammed him to the ground outside a bar near campus. Officers had to use a stun gun to subdue Butler, according to a probable cause affidavit.The St. Joseph County prosecutors office said Butler faced possible charges of resisting law enforcement and battery to a police officer, both felonies. Prosecutor Kenneth Cotter said Saturday he was seeking court approval for additional time to investigate the case so his offiice could determine whether formal charges are appropriate.ddddddddddddedfield and the four other players -- running back Dexter Williams, linebacker Tevon Coney, wide receiver Kevin Stepherson Jr. and cornerback Ashton White -- were arrested Friday night after Indiana State Police said a trooper stopped a car in Fulton County, about 35 miles south of South Bend, for speeding. The trooper detected the odor of marijuana and with the help of a drug-sniffing dog, he found the marijuana and a handgun, police said.All five were charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. Redfield, Stepherson and Williams face an additional misdemeanor charge of possession of an unlicensed handgun.It was not known if any of the six have hired attorneys.For Redfield, it marks the end of a disappointing tenure at Notre Dame. He arrived from Mission Viejo, California, as a five-star recruit but never developed as a star and was sent home before the Fiesta Bowl last season for violating team rules. But Kelly said recently that Redfield had been playing at an elite level in August, saying he looked like that guy everyone was hoping for out of high school.Redfield played 36 games for the Irish, started 23 times and finished with 144 tackles and two interceptions.The Irish open the season at Texas on Sept. 4.
