Yeah he has a few haters! We are just wondering if he retiring straight away or at the end of the season

Mr Paparazzi · Dec 11, 2012

Who's going to the NBL All Star game the 22nd? Would love to catch up for a drink.

I know that Brad Robbins had his haters, as all good villians do, but every team needs a player like Robbins on their team, and every great team does have that guy who can get under the opponents skin, but still contribute positively to the game whilst helping his team win.
I applaud his self-less decision to retire instead of hurt his team while he struggles with recurring injuries.
Hoping that his decision inspires his team mates to dig even deeper and take the Cats to a 6th chip.

27 is very young to retire considering he calls himself a hard nut. Was a very good defensive player sometimes too cheap but still good.

Perth has a deep roster though so should be able to dig deep. Couldn't believe he only ave 4.7ppg during his career

GarnettFan4Life · Dec 11, 2012

Why is he retiring??? Anyone know what he is going to do or does as a side career?

27???? Soooooffffttttttttt

Too many injuries and his desire to keep pushing has gone. Fair enough considering he is a single father with a young son too.

The fact he played with a torn calf and a cracked rib in the 2010 Grand Final series showed how much he always put his body on the line for the team.

The type of player everyone hates but would love to have on their team.

The benches have been named for the All Star game. A few "interesting" choices...

North: Gary Ervin, Corin Henry, Lance Hurdle, Clint Steindl, Ian Crosswhite

South: Jonny Flynn, Adam Gibson, Chris Goulding, Anthony Petrie, Shawn Redhage

Not sure about Steindl and Crosswhite for North, or Goulding for the South. Maybe the league is trying to make sure all teams are represented?

bit of a joke in my eyes what about Crawford or Vukona or Wilson?

BruzDB · Dec 15, 2012

Things are going to get interesting soon, considering New Zealand and Wollongong have not played each other yet.

Townsville started the season 0-10 and have now beaten Adelaide twice in 2 weeks. Ouch!

Sad news about Creek too. Was starting to play really well and would have won the dunk comp.

The Villain · Dec 16, 2012

any idea who will replace greek in the dunk comp?

wasportsfan1 · Dec 16, 2012

i hope Dunigan gets a go at the dunk contest!

Mr Paparazzi · Dec 16, 2012

Believe the reserve is Pero Vasilevic from Adelaide to take Creeks place I get to watch from the bench and hang out with the South or North team before during and after the game.
