You're Kidding Mr Cooper and Julius Hodge

YOU ARE KIDDING


New found Wallaby sensation, Quade Cooper, has been charged with one count of burglary by the Queensland Police. The funny story behind this is, my brother went to the Gold Coast for a bucks party and were celebrating at a pub in which Mr Cooper was at. A bunch of the party goers were dressed as the Wallabies and a few as the All Blacks. A few of the Kiwi guys performed the traditional war cry while the Wallaby impersonators sang Waltzing Matilda. During this Cooper came over to see what the fuss was all about. Some of the Kiwi blokes recognised him and chanted 4-0(series record that the All Blacks held over the Wallabies this year). He took offense to it and started to aim up. Fat chance seeing there were 25 of the party boys and only 2 of them. However they proceeded to think they were tough and Coopers mate poured a beer over the bucks head. Who do these football players think they are? Can they really take on the world? Once kicked out of the pub the boys got on with the rest of their night only to read in the papers the next morning he had been arrested. Why the hell would he be stealing anything? He would be on a great salary by the ARU and by the Reds. No brainer kiddo!

The second no brainer of the week has to go to Julius Hodge of the Melbourne Tigers. Hodge traveled to Adelaide to play the 36ers in one of the most hyped NBL games in years. If you don't know the story, check this out. The Tigers won the match in overtime much to the delight of Julius. However Hodge took it too far. He proceeded to walk over to the Brett Maher signature on the middle of the court and stomp on it. Come on, who do you think you are? What has Brett Maher ever done to you Julius? That man has been through some tough times with his family and losing a child. I had the pleasure of playing on Bretts team when he was in Sydney. He is a great guy and does not deserve any of this nonsense. Some imports think the sun shines out of their arse. Well Hodge it ain't shining out of yours! For Hodge to say that it would have been his signature on the court if he remained in Adelaide makes me sick. I love what John Rillie had to say on his blog, "Too bad the Tigers have visited the South Australian franchise twice this year already. That could have turned into a pay-per-view event." Check out the clip below to see Hodge stomp away! What a tool.

  2. The nbl needs more of this kind of stuff. If the league had 10 julius hodge's, games would be a lot more interesting. Everyone needs to lighten up....

  3. I understand anonymous but the likes of Corey Williams parading around Perth and James Harvey and Goulding saluting is all fine. But the stomping on one of our greats is a bit too far! I just don't understand why he did that. He could have done anything else. No wonder everyone got fired up. Have some respect for the great players that played in the NBL is what I'm getting at.

  4. I really think that the NBL suffers from the lack of drama. Look at the NRL, AFL etc they all thrive off controversy. Sport to be successful needs to been entertaining, it needs the drama. What Hodge did has got people talking and tell me you won't be interested next time the sixers and tigers meet...

  5. I can't wait you're right. That's if they broadcast the game! They didn't last time..fans need to be able to see these games live so they can see the crowd getting involved and such drama! At the moment they are televising shit games that show nothing but shit basketball. The quality is so up and down this year.
