What happens next time when its a younger player we want to keep. If we had of held firm, I beleive Arnie would have made it clearer to Hoole/Naumoff that he was willing to sacrifice them for Carney. Instead Arnie knew we would roll and we did not disappoint.
The bloke would have become a cancer in the squad. Do you not see how he conducts himself with his own contracts that he would be the exact same snake in and around team mates? There is already talks of a rift between players. In my opinion it isn't about the $80k theyve saved.. It the farce that they have saved themselves from by going into damage control.
Also you can't just tell a contracted player like Hoole or Naumoff to go elsewhere if they are happy where they are and will not leave.
