I think the most exciting thing about this signing is that we'll all be able to go "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke" when his name is called out before tip off.

great to hear that he has signed, while i don't really see the massive hype on him and don't think he will be a game changer its good to have local talent. Also i think with the local addictions it gives the people of adelaide some ownership of the team. Hopefully we can get hodge to sign and then call it a day. exiting times ahead.
I missed the news - Is it in printed media anywhere? I can't find the story on line anywhere.

Why isn't it on the 36ers website? Isn't it as newsworthy as the Brad Hill signing?

Any truth to the rumour he's signed up for Glenelg in the off-season? ;-)

He hasnt signed yet! And it is said that he is seriously considering NZ breakers as he has played under a couple of asst coaches that are currently there. outlook doesnt look good for Adelaide fans.
Rumour just on ABC Adelaide that he has signed a 1 year deal with an outclause for the NBA.
BAD NEWS FOR SIXERS

A bit presumptuous to start a thread with a heading like this. If anyone wants to post under a heading with a title "Official", it should be already official and not wishful thinking. Makes you look like a bit of a clown, especially when there is no confirmation in the media.

EC.. I believe the term you were looking for was 'arseclown'... we don't use 'clown' here anymore...
Schenshner
Ballinger
Holmes
Maher
Import PG
Bench
Cooper
Hill
Davidson
Motts/Dench
Sutton/Burdon
Not a bad team. Won't take it out but should play finals at least. If we can get Hodge we can Davidson to the starting group and Holmes to the bench.

Is Dench signed on for next season? Saw him with Ballinger at the Eagles/Rockets game last night so he is still in town.
EC

And after last season's performance or lack thereof he had the gall to take up the option? How many points are wasted here?
EC shut ur hole all i ever see u do is bag people and bag the organisation even when the 6ers sign a good young SA boy like Brad Hill you bag them stop bein such a pessimist

I remember 12 months back when we all got excited about the signing of Brad Newley.
I hope this is not the same kind of "signing"

#182044, 2 years have gone by and yet to make playoffs. I will always admit when I am wrong and will eat humble pie if Hill and Dench make a significant difference to change the situation next season. I am not pessimistic, I am cautious and speak on previous experience. Neither Dench nor Hill has shown me in the past that they are the answer to the 36ers problems.
EC, myself id rather sign mottram then dench any day!!! as mottram has the potential to be a beast as a starting centre in the NBL, however if we sign Luke have cooper as well i think Dench could definately contribute in a different system as he has shown in the past he can contribute as he is a past wookie of the year!!!! With regards to Brad he showed early in his career that he has the potential to be a future star in the league!!!! Its always good to get someone like that back and if we can sign adam gibson think are looking brilliant!!!!!!
a team of
C:Luke,Motts
PF:Ballinger,Motts,Holmes
SF:Holmes,Hill,Hodge
SG:Hodge,Maher
PG:Gibson,Davidson,Maher
That side could just about take it out IMO not sure on points ratings however

I think Gibson will stay in Brisbane.
Doubt think Dench will be with the 36ers.
EC, it's not on the 36ers site because I haven't received a press release - e.g., probably not official.
