It was a disgraceful incident and Hodge has really shown some absolutely rank character flaws but to say he is no good for the league is a load of ****ing bull****!
Yes, what he did was totally uncalled for, Yes what he continues to say about doing it again and again just shows that he is an arrogant ****er.
But some one that can play like he can, can get the crowd into the game like he does and be the difference in a game like he can can't be that bad for a league like ours! It certainly couldn't make the league any worse! As long as he is sanctioned by at LEAST the NBL (Id love the Tigers to show some class just once and sanction him too) then I still believe he has more to offer the league then any other single Import in the league.
Im ashamed as a fan of Julius for his actions and I'm furious at his actions being a 36ers fan for 20 years, but too write him off as no good for the league is just not right.
Having said all that though, I don't know if I'd keep him in the league or not for that, just the fact if he did stay it wouldn't be the worse thing that could happen.
I'd say he'll cop a fairly big fine, maybe a suspension and be on a tight leash both with the NBL and the Tigers. But then again, we all know the Tigers don't give a **** about anyone or anything except for themselves!
I'd still punch him in the face if I saw him in the street!
Ino it was disgraceful that he was acting like that but haha no need to be so childish about it.If you tried to fight him he'd probably beat you anyway.
i met him when i was a kid and he was a top bloke!! he talked to me at my local video store for about 10 minutes while we looked for some movies for him to watch haha... definately a top athlete and a very nice guy...
i guess some peoples egos are just that large... and i hope that he cops alot of sht for his behavior that day... you could tell even his team mates thought he was a dh...

I guess opinions are different, but I don't actually find Hodge all that exciting a player and I think his arrogant, childish nature outweighs any positives of having him in the league.
umm....well that adelaide2010 guy said i want to bash him haha
Hodge is a bloody good player i dont care what anybody says he just did a massivly stupid thing doing that.
Doing something stupid is one thing, following up saying you have no regrets doing it and would do it again and come back every time to destroy the team and Maher is another.

Do you honestly think your telling me something I don't know? He's still 2nd rate, and Ive been a fan of him for a couple of years now! In our league he can dominate, in Europe he can be a star, in the NBA.... well, with a jump shot like his, he wouldnt even be a garbage time, 1 minute a game player, thats if he could get on a roster!
