Brad Arthur stated on Triple M, that he would be happy to let Chris Sandow leave, but only if we didn't have to pay him out.
● Arthur said "There's no reason to keep a player" and admitted " BA said "It's pointless playing players who don't want to be here".
Sandow has a two-year-deal with the Wolves worth close to $1 million on the table.
He produced one of the worst performances of his career on Friday night with Arthur declaring, if the 26-year-old doesn’t want to play for the Eels he shouldn’t.
“We’ve had a few injuries but at the end of the day we need to make sure we have blokes who when they pull the jersey on play for their team,” he said.
“If Chris doesn’t want to play here it seems pointless.”
● We won't be releasing Chris who is being paid 30k per month and wants the remainder of his contract paid out, before he joins Super League club Warrington.
●Danny Wicks has succumbed to a shoulder injury he'd been carrying for some time. Season ending.
● Norman will be out for at least 4 weeks.

$550k x 4 years and still wants a payout after all the club has done for him.
Time to go Chris. You won't be out of pocket if you sign with Warrington and what a bloody hide you have to try and double dip with a payout. Unbelievable. I don't know how after lasts night performance you could even front your team mates on Monday.
Kelly puts in but his skill level and decision making are not NRL standard. He was poor in the Tigers game and even worse last night. This is a dilemma of massive proportions.
Bring on 2016.Is there anyone in the lower grades who is remotely a replacement?
Good if we get rid of Sandope, bad news about Norman and Wicks.
Kelly? he just does not have NRL ability, I have never seen a half pass the ball to the turf as much as he does, he doesn't have the ability nor the athleticism, I don't know why he is playing footy, he is our new age Billy Rogers.
Good on u BA for being up front. If Sandow doesn't want to play for us & won't apply himself professionally then I hope BA sticks to his guns & makes him play in the Lalor Park Lizards or the Girraween Goannas for the rest of the season to earn his money & hopefully entice him to go without the dough. Here I was hoping that BA could have reasoned with him & at least salvaged the relationship for the remainder of the season, dopey me.
Damn shame about the injuries to Norman & Wicks, no mention of Gower or Choc though. It doesn't look good for Townsville.
Listening to that radio interview is a relief.... I would much rather we let go of Sandow if he's not going to make any effort. We're better off with a junior who will actually has some pride in the jersey and wants to win.
Well, misleading blog titles is the secret to getting 10K views.
Just goes to show what sort of person Sandow is. Asking for a release AND wants a pay-out. He's been a pork chop this entire year and can't wait for him to go, I rarely don't cheer players when they do something for the blue and gold but I will not be cheering for this clown in the last 7 games, hopefully he doesn't last that long.
