36ers press conference at 1.30 today

Harsh Spiderbait be careful.

Well for your sake hodge i hope u dont come back to the dome in any way shape or form! EVER! If it is with another NBL, which i would highly doubt then you will get no love at all!

Any player no matter how much i loved there personality and game, that can not show up to a game.....Dog his coach, fans and most importantly his TEAM-mates, i cannot forgive.

I will go to sixers games with or without hodge, and hopefullt the rest of adelaide feels the same and the crowds are still the biggest in teh country.

Rod Grizzard? Yeh i think he would probably be the number 1 choice to fill the import spot, i mean he was probably the best and most consistent player for the tigers over the last few months he was there, and he has shown he is a consistent offensive threat.

With winatana back adding some much needed defense and hustle i think Grizz would go nicely right about now.

ps Hodge just moved ahead of chris anstey and is right behind shane heal on my hated list of nbl players, wonder if he can knock heal off for top spot???

haha

Unhappy with his contract, one can think unhappy with being payed late, easy way out to take up some better offers. Be interesting to see who stays on the 'Hodge' watch after all alot of people here were BIG fans of his game.

I'm interested to see where he ends up, especially if it is Euro and how he goes over there.

So - the verdict is?

I just thought someone in the know may have leaked it by now.

So, is he sacked yet?

It is good that this conference is being held as it is a chance to offer clarity and certainty.

Over the last 18 hours since he didn't show the sense of panic, anger and agnst has been overwhelming. Various conspiracy and alien abduction theories have surfaced and there has been plenty of 1+1 = 3.

While we may not like what is said in about half an hour's time, I hope that the club uses this incident as a learning experience in going forward.

Fiveaa are going to it, and report at 2 oclock

KingJames, I see some merit in what Loco said. I am sure he wasn't suggesting that Hodge's manager had the power to get him paid 4 days late but however is playing on this problem to his benefit and blowing it completely out of perspective.

Ninnis unhappy played on few radio stations, and Hodge not turning up means his future is in doubt, they are saying.

His agent has found another team for him, would be my version of it.
(Late payment would have accelerated that)

Agreed whole heartedly Isaac. Re-focus and move on.

As long as you take your shoes off before you go in!

Are fans allowed to be present for this press conference?

That alone gives us a pretty good indication that Hodge is gone, done and dusted.

Will an explanation be given or do they not even know themselves and just cutting it off and focusing on the task at hand, winning games.

What's Mike Chappell up to?
