Is Brian Conklin The NBL's New Villian?

From Gleeson's appearance on the HardBall podcast this week:

Just as I was going in the press conference, Townsville were out stretching, Conklin was right there before it, and I said 'keep your elbows to yourself' to Conklin, and Conklin said 'well you tell him to keep his hands out or I'll hit him again'.

Conklin would be a good fit for Perth to replace an ageing Redhage.

Crap article. Read it this morning before it apparently got deleted. Amateur articles like that shouldn't be published.

Conklin is good for the league. Hope he stays next season with another club if Townsville fold. But he's hardly a villian. Just a tough competitive player that got into an unfortunate incident against one of the leagues nice guys.

The attention he's getting is good though. Hopefully might spark a bit of interest in Townsville.

"I really don't understand the hate for Redhage tbh. He plays hard, can be a bit in-your-face but if you take his total package - ie. having come from SEABL, cut from NZ, coming back from that horrific injury etc and ended up having a really good career on championship-winning teams, I've got nothing but respect for him."

I loved it when Phil Jones punched him :)
He almost invented sticking out your elbows when setting screens on opposition guards (ask CJ Bruton).

I think the problem with Redhage along with most villains is it only takes one or 2 incidents and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon and every thing that person does from that point is deemed dirty.

As a perth fan, I gotta say Brian Conklin is a professional.

He took it on the chin last night and now it's time to move on.

He didn't mean to break damos jaw and he does feel bad for what happened.

Perth boo'd Coz he took out our captain he wore it and now it's done.

When did Hire become a villain lol I thought he was pretty well respected.

The villains are going to be dependant on who you support. If put Worthington and Petrie up there personally :P It's to early to declare Conklin a villain but give him another game or 2 lol
