His body is stuffed and will no doubt deteriorate when he hits his 40s - 50s
He put his body on the line for the Saints and now you want him to give money back
yeah, righto, that's going to happen
Look, I love Hamill as much as anybody, I have never bagged him or any other player on the forum... I think that is being a poor supporter there are hundreds on this forum who do bag players.. not me
My comment was a little tongue in cheek.... as it would be a nice gesture to help the club out
But the club did not have to "loose the $300, 000 contract money"
If you are going to place players on back to back contracts (particularly bash and crash type players that are more likely to get injured) then our club should have had the foresight for medical and loss of income insurance for Hamill (I am only presuming they did not, they may recoup the money through insurance but I would have thought that would have to be on the books).
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"

Fair enough mate, I know you didn't "bag" him and yes your comment may have been "tongue in cheek "...
But Hamill deserves his money IMO. Again, he is going to pay for his injured body for the rest of his life.
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
