Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3445501, member: 9853"] Spot the difference: [I][B]Ikin:[/B][/I] [INDENT]“The Payne Haas issue I have found fascinating. The commentary from the outside is how does a player like Payne ask for a release and then turn up to training the next day and look his teammates in the eye and expect to remain engaged and connected? The players don’t care. Seriously, they do not care."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [I][B]Parker:[/B][/I] [INDENT]"I would have gotten rid of him. It reflected poorly on Payne, whether it was directly his doing or not. He’s on $800,000 per season yet claiming he wants to leave the club to get $1 million … what does that say to your teammates? That’s the first thing he should have thought of, yet clearly it was far from his main concern."[/INDENT] [INDENT]"If you’re a Kobe Hetherington, Zac Hosking, Jordan Riki or Keenan Palasia, a fellow forward busting your arse on far less money … how are you meant to feel when a guy earning $800,000 says it’s not enough and he wants to leave the club? Me personally? I’d have been thinking, ‘Stuff you’. It would never be said publicly but that feeling would have filtered through much of the club. An incident like that doesn’t directly affect performances, necessarily. But all of a sudden, when the team is struggling and Payne isn’t at his best, what are those other players thinking?"[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
